Episode Synopsis

It is becoming impossibly difficult  to stay informed about what is happening in the world. and determining whether to pay more or less attention to everything that is screaming for our attention at the present moment.This episode covers Wokeness, Social justice, Cancel culture and Identity politics.  We also discuss the idea of actualisation, equality of opportunity, our basic needs and our appetites for justice.Of course, we cannot really have a discussion like this without looking at the phenomenon of social media, sensationalism in journalism, and echo chambers and specifically the effects these things have on us as individuals and a society and our public discourseWe also work through the phenomenology of conspiracy theory thinking.Where do we get if we silence every voice except the ones that echo the current roar?  How do we do that and not end up taking the very same missteps that those who brought us this way, to this bad place, made, as we try to walk our way out of here, to a better place.Questions or feedback: [email protected] the showSign up to my Substack: eyeswideopenlife.substack.comemail [email protected]
