Is society actually broken, or are we just expecting too much from systems never built to support everyone? In this episode, we dig into brand loyalty (or what’s left of it), the loss of communal experiences, and how algorithm-fed convenience has dulled our standards. We share personal stories about homeless encounters, question how much empathy we actually show, and wonder why we hide the hard parts of life (like death) in plain sight. We also ask bigger questions: What kind of world are we really trying to build? Is capitalism still working? Could a new system, based on empathy, post-scarcity thinking, or even blockchain, create something better? Or are we just selfish by design? From Disney animation nostalgia to moral questions about leaving your kids a fortune, we explore what kind of future might actually be worth building, and what each of us can do (or not do) to help shape it.
