Does your humor have a line that you won't cross? In this episode, we're going to talk about the pop cultural side of Postmodernism. We'll discuss I Love Lucy, Nat King Cole, Family Guy, South Park, and I'll relay a true story about a woman who I tried to console in a modern museum of art who was crying in front of a particular exhibit. There is so much amazing content that was created during postmodernism, it is clearly a force to be reckoned with. Many of us grew up on things like Saturday-morning cartoons, action hero movies, and stand up comedy. So, what do we do with all of that now that we're in a new historical movement? That's part of the question we're going to think about in this episode.

  5. Finally, and most importantly, just be kind and patient with others in conversation. Try to model for those around you the difference between conversation and debate. Debate and dialogue are not the same thing. We need more dialogue in our everyday speech, and we need to limit debate to where it is most needed and useful.
  6. Any one of the above items is equally important to me. I am genuinely humbled and moved by the feedback I'm receiving, and the support that I'm getting from all of you. Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    -Joe
