The MET Gala is one of the most talked about celebrity events of the year. But at a time where the cost of living is high and AI is replacing jobs, is the display of wealth at the event insulting to regular people? In this episode we talk about celebrity, what they owe society, and how the richest people are that way because we give them our money.
We also talk about the new reality of big companies forcing workers to train their AI replacements, and taxpayer dollars going to datacenters that ruin communities. Is AI breaking the fundamental deal that capitalism is based off of? Subscribe for more conversations about equality, capitalism, culture and politics.

Ep 13: Can Grassroots Movements Succeed?
When a grassroots movement gains enough traction, it can become a dominant idea. In doing so, the idea almost always changes, leading to the question; is it still the same movement?
We ask the question, can a grassroots movement achieve mainstream appeal while holding on to its core ideology? Our discussion leads us to a debate on modern Christianity, and whether or not the religion has fundamentally changed when it became one of the world's mainstream religions.

Ep 12: Are Humans Losing the Internet?
Just 100 accounts are responsible for most of the misinformation on social media in Canada. AI bots are using human proxies to spread political propaganda. ChatGPT is decreasing our cognitive abilities. Is there anything authentic left online? Or are we lost in a sea of bots, AI tools and misinformation? In this episode we talk about the search for something real on social media, whether or not AI is making us more stupid, and what the future might look like for human beings on the internet.

Ep 10: What We Owe Each Other
An article from Diggit Magazine argues that Gen Z social trends, like 'not owing anyone anything,' or 'protecting your peace,' are not actually smart advice that leads to self actualization, but ideas pushed by algorithms that push hyper individualism.
We discuss the social media landscape and how it shapes our relationships with ourselves and others.

Every older generation things the generation after them is lazy and entitled. We don't think that about Gen Z. But when you encounter Gen Z in the work place one thing becomes clear, they really don't seem to care very much.

Ep 08: Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing?
Vogue published an article that asked the question, "is having a boyfriend embarrassing?" In it they reference female influencers who have received criticism or lost followers in droves after hard launching a relationship with a man.
We tackle the question, is having a boyfriend truly embarrassing in today's world? And if so, what does that mean about how we interpret the costs and benefits of relationships, what we think about men, and whether there's any humanity left in modern dating?

Ep 7: Has Free Speech Online Gone Too Far?
China has introduced a new program where financial advisors and those giving medical advice on social media must have a proper accreditation or they can be fined the equivalent of $20,000. This is a form of censorship, which is bad. Yet, social media is dominated by horrible advice, harmful opinions, hate speech, and a host of other issues. How far is too far when it comes to free speech? Or does that limit even exist?
We talk about China's new program, hate speech, free speech, and who controls information on this episode.

Ep 5: Creating Healthy Male Only Spaces (Part 3)
Male only spaces have a mixed reputation. Locker rooms are often seen as places where women are objectified, and where men are hazed. But these spaces are one of the few places where men can figure out what it means to be a man, and they can be very healthy. So how do we fix what's wrong with these spaces? In the final part of this 3 part episode on why women are choosing to be alone, rather than with men, we talk about modern relationships, toxic femininity, and a way forward for men to find more fulfilling relationships and become better people.
