"It's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war." — Enjoy this serendipitous mishmash of important topics including: the war between Israel and Palestine, the need for media literacy, the reactionary culture taking over the internet these days, our perverse over reliance on technology, and the role of nihilism in popular culture right now.

We're back for another Serendipity Session! Megan and Ryan catch up over a mishmash of topics. After a quick catch up (it had been a while since we recorded together!) we dive into the controversy that's resulted in pop culture about the war between Israel and Palestine, which has had major ramifications that cannot be ignored. (#FreePalestine — NO that does not mean we are antisemitic.) Paying attention to current events and what's happening around the world IS a spiritual practice. To purposefully disconnect from this is to be pompous about your privilege. If you're not paying attention, then you are flexing spiritual bypassing, and that's not a flex to brag about.
We also discuss the importance of media literacy, and the general lack of critical analysis so many people are proudly displaying right now. We chat about the perverse and persistent need to overreact and our over reliance on the internet and technology as a means to showcase our overreactions. We also have a though-provoking discussion about the role that nihilism is playing in our modern society right now, which we may turn into a full length episode soon as well.
