• I call it the 2025 paper, cause it was accepted and early access online in 2025, but I guess now it gets 2026 in the citation info, because the issue its technical in is the January issue. Which is annoying, because it's cited as 2025 in some places lol.

Maeve's Work:
She has been in the field of countering violent extremism (CVE), focusing on prevention and practitioner research, for the last five years.
She wrote a book titled Black Pilled Masculinity Media and Incels, which breaks down the ideology and includes interviews with 32 young self-identified incels.
She sees the incel community as an "extremist misogyny, manosphere" space and focuses on understanding the people involved in these spaces.

The conversation covers:

The "Black Pill" (the incel idea of seeing the "harsh reality of the world") and the sense of intellectual superiority it gives some members.

The "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO), which Maeve describes as a core tenet of incel ideology, where they believe everyone else is "at the party" and they are not.

The concept of incels as a "canary in the coal mine" for increasing societal isolation and poor social skills in younger generations.

The self-defeating nature of the ideology, which often leads to incels developing unrealistically strict criteria for a partner and becoming "worse position now" than before.

The role of social media and passive consumption/lurking in increasing feelings of depression and anxiety, especially when comparing one's own life to the curated, often fake, "influencer" lifestyle.
The importance of learning and practicing social skills to combat isolation.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tatjana Schnell, a leading researcher in the psychology of meaning, to talk about what it really means to live a meaningful life. We explore how people navigate existential crises, the different ways we construct meaning, and why the experience of belonging is so central to our well-being. This conversation is both intellectually rich and deeply human — a reflection on what keeps us going when things feel uncertain, empty, or directionless.
