Zuby is joined by JP De Gance, author, speaker, and the founder of Communio, to explore the cultural forces driving the decline of marriage, faith, and family in the modern West. JP breaks down the complex feedback loop between falling marriage rates, weakening religious commitment, and the rise of broken families. They also discuss the real-world consequences of father absence, the semantic confusion around the word “marriage,” the failures of churches and institutions, the overlooked role of family law in discouraging marriage.

Laura shares her personal story of spending over a decade entrenched in the American psychiatric system, from early diagnoses and heavy medication as a teenager to becoming a 'treatment-resistant’ patient in her twenties.

Zuby chats with Larry Sanger, philosopher and co-founder of Wikipedia, to discuss the origins and evolution of one of the world’s most influential knowledge platforms.

The conversation explores how bias appears on Wikipedia, why claims of neutrality often break down in practice, and the cultural and political consequences of centralized information power.
