We live in the Anti-Social Century—a world designed for isolation, where community has been replaced by convenience, and loneliness is at an all-time high. But if one cultural shift got us here, another can bring us out.

In this episode, Elliot and Sam dive into:
The hidden forces that made isolation our default
Why we underestimate the power of human connection
What would a perfect government do to rebuild community?
The small, radical ways you can push back

We’re not just talking about a better world—we’re building it. Join us.
