In this episode, we’re calling it like we see it: stupidity seems to be everywhere these days, but why? From the rise of social media echo chambers to algorithms that reward bad behavior, and even the Dunning-Kruger effect in action, we break down what’s going on.

We’ll explore how tech conveniences have hijacked our critical thinking and how it’s impacting cybersecurity, personal accountability, and society at large. Expect some hilariously frustrating real-world examples, a bit of ranting, and as always, candid insights on fixing the broken industry.

Don’t miss this raw and real conversation that just might make you say, “Ah, that explains it!”
