Ep 54: Community Vs. Opportunity


Listen Later

They say it takes a village, but the US says individualism is king. We’re discussing the challenges of creating community in a country that privileges mobile labor over putting down roots. How do you thrive in the transient, modern world where everyone moves for work, rarely stays in their hometown after schooling, and cannot establish the Old World concept of “the village”? There are many benefits to living in the New World, but community is not among them. So, we chat about the pros and cons of having access to so much upward mobility but very little stable community structures — here’s how to survive (and enjoy?) the landscape of 21st-century urbanism when so many long for the long-ago interconnectivity of rural life. Modern friendships are celebrated and survival tips are shared. Join us!
