Everyone likes being agreed with. It makes us feel good to have our beliefs validated. And this definitely extends to the news. But with the world becoming more and more polarized, especially as it pertains to politics, our media has become fra
The relationship between politics and money is no secret; but lately it seems like less like a relationship and more like a symbiosis. Campaign costs continue to skyrocket and our voices have become a reflection of the amount of money backing t
They've come to saturate every media platform we interact with and it's become increasingly difficult to separate individuals' personal media accounts from an ad campaign. But what are social media influencers really marketing through their car
As many of our children are now attending school remotely as a result of the pandemic, teachers are scrambling to put digital curriculums together and parents are panicking as they have to act as the proxy for educators at home. In time, things
The internet gives us unlimited access to the world’s knowledge; but is it actually helpful to have all of that information? Perhaps having such a free flow of data has diluted the importance of authorities and subject matter experts. And are w
Want to be taller? Faster? Smarter? Want to eradicate all disease? All physical and mental disabilities? Want to play God? Gene editing, while only in its early stages now, proposes to do just that. And while we obviously want the best for our
Before our kids even begin high school, we’re overwhelming them with decisions for college education. But are we emphasizing the looming student loan debt with the same diligence? While college costs have continued to rise, the academic experie
iMessage, Slack, email, etc. Our busy lives, along with the proliferation of technology, have massively changed our communications. Rather than the in-person conversations of yore, we’re increasingly relying on small snippets of text and longer
Why is it helpful to talk about our thoughts and feelings with others? Have societal advancements evolved beyond our capacity to deal with them? Perhaps sometimes we need to emotionally reflect with others to navigate the conflict created by th
Why does space exploration get so much attention? When compared to more economical means of learning about our universe—such as the particle research being done on earth by CERN—sending people and stuff up into space seems like a waste of money
Is it a state of mind? An idea? Is it a constant? Or moments in time? Perhaps it’s the journey toward what we want for ourselves? Or maybe the satisfaction with how things ended up? We take our best shot at describing what we think happiness is
At this point, the internet and commenting are almost synonymous. Nearly every place you’ve ever visited online includes commenting or is made up entirely of social interaction. But is there any inherent value to online comments these days? If
Our interactions with those of differing viewpoints often turn to attacks and diminishment. It’s obvious this isn’t the best way to engage on divisive topics; so why do we default to this? What if we made a conscious effort to ask what motivate
As we celebrate America’s 244th birthday, it seems like she’s starting to show her age. The country feels more divided everyday. We get angry with opinions that differ than ours. We have become ridged, punitive, and stubborn. Is there room for
Vaccines have received a lot of flack as of late. A quick internet search returns results flooded with controversy, alleged experts, and nonscientific information; leaving many confused and afraid. So what’s the big deal, anyway?
(Recorded Feb 2020) They bring us entertainment, information, and the ability to connect. They have singlehandedly (get it?) revolutionized how we exist in the modern world. But has one of our greatest achievements become our biggest distractio
From gazing into the mirror for feedback on our physicality, to posting our opinions online in search of validation; we are consumed by narcissistic motivations and egocentric perspectives. But have technology and social media amplified our int
Thanks to pop culture, we’ve all heard about the fantastical dangers of Artificial Intelligence in some form or another. But is it really humanoid robots taking over human civilization by force that we need to worry about in hundreds of years?
Conspiracy theories are nothing new, but it seems like their popularity and circulation have grown with our ability to share ideas on the internet. Why do some people get so invested in them, while others dismiss them? When are they benign or h
Virtual doctors visits, Google Hangouts, augmented reality. In a time of increasing automation and reliance on technology for our jobs, working remotely is becoming more viable. While clunky today, if technology leaders can solve for telepresen
The battle of "want" versus "need" is one that we're all familiar with. And when it comes to seeking gratification, our options are endless. Some of us buy things online or binge eat ice cream. Others may need to reach out and touch someone. Bu
