84: Not Everything is About You: The Bean Soup Theory

Описание: In this episode, we're tackling the internet phenomenon that's ruining actual discourse: the bean soup theory, aka "what about me-ism."



The viral bean soup recipe that broke the internet—and why people demanding a bean-free bean soup is the perfect metaphor for online discourse right now

How performative advocacy is drowning out actual advocacy 

The self-centered arrogance of assuming every piece of content must be caveated for YOUR specific experience

How left-leaning echo chambers have created a "gotcha culture" where pointing out what someone missed becomes performative activism

Why your anxiety is making you think everything is a mortal threat 

The difference between actually dangerous content and content you simply disagree with

How we've weaponized words like "accountability" and "responsibility" so much that we can't talk about agency anymore

The radical truth: not everything applies to you, and that's okay

Why distraction is a valid coping skill
