Welcome to The Prime Directive - we boldly go where most podcasts are afraid to go. We tackle topics that make you think, discuss with your friends, make you laugh, and question what you thought you knew. Our mission, simple. To explore this strange new world with curiosity instead of accepting simple answers. We ask that you listen with an open mind, look with your human eyes, transcend the algorithm, and step out of the echo chamber. Because someone has to put the "civil" back in civilization.

Eric and Admar discuss the problems with attitudes in the Manosphere and share actual research on what women want in relationships. They end the episode sharing contributions and inventions made by women in response to some in the manosphere who claim women have made little to no contributions to society.

Some topics include: Misogyny, the manosphere, social anomie, AI, music, incels, isolation, women and relationships, female inventors.
