Screen time is exploding in society and changing our culture, values, and perhaps even what it means to be human. Is humanity becoming a species with consumption as its primary goal function? Is social media collectively shaping a new world order and a common culture structured around consumption? From addiction to misinformation to thought and behavior control, in this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we take a hard look at social media and its inherent positive and negative effects on us all.

Episode 39 – Cultural Superiority via Hyper Violence

From video games to the cinema to made-for-TV dramas to the evening news to world history to the bible, we are saturated in stories of violence, simulated violence, or actual violence. Is there value in such large-scale exposure to violence, or is violence a useful or necessary tool to preserve and stabilize society, or is it one of the scourges of humanity to mitigate? Are more violent cultures superior and necessary?

Episode 38 – Complexity & Scale of Technology on Humanity

We live in an age one might call the Great Technological Expansion. As technology advances so rapidly, tradition, culture, generational knowledge, morality, and many other aspects of society are being pressured to change, and rapidly. This is a gale of creative destruction that operates at a pace and scale with which most people haven’t developed the skills to cope effectively. Where does this leave the majority, where is this headed, and how might we thrive in this type of environment?

Episode 37 - Versions of Hyper Violence & Feminine Revolt

Exploring versions of violence through its various forms, including the perpetual inappropriate allocation of monetary resources. Is misinformation the new virtual land of milk and honey, is the future to be determined by those with the best version of Augmented Reality? Let’s explore the 4th wall of information, a 21st-century schism, of half-truths and flat-out lies.

Episode 36 – Misandry Male Privilege & Fronting Sexuality

Portraying men as fat stupid and lazy has become socially normal. Has Misandry (hatred or disdain toward men) taken hold in America, and if so, what effects may this have on society? We also examine the social trend and effects of putting one’s sexual identity as a leading personal identifying characteristic, even with children.

In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss the reality of every major developed country in the world having a large shadow economy as well as a group of people best described as second-class citizens which are off the books but do all the dangerous and challenging work. We talk about the direct and indirect impacts of these shadow economies, who benefits and pays the price, and, in general, the overall morality of this reality. With big data, surveillance, and high-tech methods, the shadow economy could be eliminated or dramatically reduced, but this never seems to play out, which begs the question, who benefits?

In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss the world covered in plants being terraformed by people under bizarre constrains and what seems like a complete lack of useful planning. Human existence might seem like slime mold to a sophisticated alien species, growing and consuming without reason or guided purpose. Beyond human ego and blind ambition, perhaps we can build useful intellectualism, and terraform our world into an environment that invokes greatness, and more purpose driven lives, less we may just make great pets.

In this episode of Positively Pedestrian our guest is Sam Stanton. We discuss how humanity may willfully avoid omnicide and prevent our own extinction as a species. It would appear the most probably method humanity goes extinct is through our own action. Continued weaponization of technology as technology rapidly expands may be the highway to hell and may be Great Filter that perhaps all advanced civilizations face. Self-destruction or even technological transformation may be unavoidable and a natural progression of technological sophistication. Lastly, we talk about how politics will inevitably matter, and maybe it is high time we find a way to change our politics and our culture.

In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss the long-overdue and much-needed shift in American Culture. From Gun & Bible fanatics to Pedophile Priests, to Hands-On Scout Masters, to social media as the dominant source of news, to the faithful hordes of Pseudoscientists, we need a shift to sobriety, healthy skepticism, and empathetic human-centered concerted cultivation of our citizens at every stage of life. Plus, some bad jokes.

In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss pets we had in the past, the names we gave them, and the ups and downs of having pets. Sean talks about being in a mega bass car club and killer sound systems. Then we transition to talking about congress, stocks, and cognitive decline, followed by neurological disorders, depression, and mental health. We finish off by talking about various methods of unliving oneself and encounters with bad roommates of the third kind.
