Why are we so angry today? | Historical Movement Theory | #1
My name is Dr. Joe Meyer. In this first episode of the Neutral Ground Podcast, I take a little bit of time to introduce myself so that you can start to get to know me a little bit better. I’ll talk about my background in education, how I approach teaching in the classroom, and how I view thinking as a process. After that, I start to lay out my theory on what is feeding our current cultural climate of discontent. Spoiler alert: it has a lot to do with history and the pull of historical movements. What is Neomodernism? What is Postmodernism? What role does history play in how we treat each other as a species? If you’ve got a few minutes, and you're interested in a different take than the same old discussions, give the podcast a try, and if you like it, consider subscribing for more episodes. There’s a lot of great topics to talk about, people to interview, and ideas to grapple with. You might as well join us on this journey.
