COMMON Sense: Dies with Generation X
Let’s connect with a text!
"Common Sense is Earned from Experience." - Jared, Common-X
In this episode of No Borders, No Filter, host Debra, the Experient Explorer—a global nomad and Gen X woman from New York—dives into an unfiltered, no-holds-barred conversation with Jared and Ian, the bold voices behind the Common-X podcast broadcasting from rural Washington state. They're the essence of Generation X and reintroduce common sense to a divided America.
The trio takes you on a raw journey through nostalgia, cultural identity, and uncomfortable truths. They reflect on Gen X’s unique upbringing as the last analog generation— From slamming modern parenting styles to dissecting the fallout of screen addiction, this episode exposes how critical thinking and moral grounding have eroded over time.
“We are the f*** around and find out generation.”“The American Dream is an illusion.”
“We need to teach empathy and media literacy.”
With powerful insights, they unpack the decline of real-world education, the rise of entitlement, and the ways corporate greed and political corruption have hijacked American values. Debra brings a global perspective, reflecting on her nomadic life and how other cultures prioritize connection, purpose, and balance. The conversation calls for a return to basic values: empathy, accountability, and life skills that actually matter.
Takeaway:
This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a wake-up call. Gen X still has a voice, and it’s time we use it. Through personal stories, hard truths, and a commitment to unity over division, this episode dares to ask: what if we got back to what actually works?
Here are a few prompts to brainstorm: Share a comment after listening.
- What morals or values did you and the guests feel have been lost in today’s culture?
- What did Jared and Ian say needs to be brought back to society?
- Were there any political hot takes or critiques shared?
