What do a rock concert, a customer service fail, AI, propaganda, the Santa Fe obelisk, and our collective obsession with "speaking our truth" have in common?

More than you think.

In this solo episode, I unpack the increasingly narcissistic programming that's convinced us self-expression is the highest virtue—even when it comes at the expense of service, discernment, accountability, or each other.

Along the way, I expose how media sneaks editorializing into reporting, why technological "progress" without wisdom/balance is a recipe for disaster, how language reveals the consciousness beneath our culture, and why I'm officially taking my investigative journalism to Substack.

If you've been wondering why everything feels increasingly self-centered, emotionally manipulative, and intellectually bankrupt...this one's for you.
