  • the loss of individuality in a culture obsessed with it
    Jun 7 2022

    The obsession with individuality just spills out in nearly everything on social media and beyond. Today, I talk about how this obsession may be tricking us into thinking we are being our most individual self, when really we are losing the ability to just be an individual.

    I also talk a little about the larger social consequence of this loss of individuality and how it plays a role in political manipulation.

  • critiquing how I think we think
    Apr 7 2022

    I was recently thinking a lot more about why I think the way I think. This episode vaguely explores what that even means as I question how our perceptions change with age, what prompts the change, and why humans can seem so stuck in their modes of thought.

    Mentions:

    The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
