Clueless Content

On the last episode of the season, we are taking a moment to look back on this season through the lens of a camera. We have spent much of  season three discussing various life experiences, and today we ponder if our increasingly digitalized world is preventing us from experiencing life to the fullest. Becca Joy and Noah fondly remember moments that they have captured with a camera, and then we explore a gas station museum through photographs. Here is the Veritas Journal article we mention in the episode.

This week, we wrap up our discussion on rites, rituals, tradition, and culture. Noah helps Becca Joy define anthropology and briefly trace its history. We then ask ourselves some of cultural anthropology's greatest questions: How are we a product of our culture? How do the people around us change who we are? How does our personal, cultural, and social histories shape our identity and behavior? What does it mean to be human and to have an identity?

Becca Joy, our resident theology major, helps Noah understand the definition, goals, and sources of Catholic theology.

Music is a universal language. It is a way for us to express our most vulnerable emotions and at the same time empower us. In the episode we talk about the emotional, psychological, physical, and social power of music. We explore this through the eyes of musical therapist, Tom Sweitzer, and his COVID-19 music therapy support group. We discuss how music, like food, has the power to build community and create strong connections. We also share some of our musical favorites. Note: we apologize for the rough audio, sometimes recording from different cities doesn't always go smoothly.

Being bored is one of the most universally hated feelings. But the actual idea of boredom is really... strange. To continue our conversations about social media, we turn to those moments in which we find ourselves sucked into our phones. For us, that moment is when we are bored. In this episode we tackle our experiences of boredom head on: how do we overcome boredom? is boredom a social construct? are there different types of boredom? what is the different between relaxation and boredom? is boredom bad? After much laughter, some hot takes on life, and an over-worked metaphor, we ended up in a place we didn't quite expect...

Jean-Jacques Rousseau once said, "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains." Perhaps a modern day Rousseau would say, "We are born free, but social media keeps us in chains." Today on the show, we are joined by a special guest to discuss the ups and downs of a world with social media. After recalling our own relationship with social media, we discuss its effects on social culture.

Have you ever been sucked so deep into an alternative universe? So deep that when you come back to reality you feel disappointed by the mundaneness of the real world? We certainly have. On this episode, we talk about our favorite books and our favorite worlds to inhabit. We try to make sense of our longing to invade other worlds by discussing the purpose of reading, storytelling, and human connection.

Luke Harris is a sophomore high school student who loves engineering. At the start of high school, he was excited to dive deep into his passions. However, his high school classes did not satisfy him. In fact, they sort of failed him. On this episode, we talk about our own views of education: Its purpose, its problems, and its role in society. Joining us for this conversation is our good friend Savannah! Together, we consider how our own experiences of education has shaped our view of the world and our place in it.
