84: Not Everything is About You: The Bean Soup Theory

In this episode, we're tackling the internet phenomenon that's ruining actual discourse: the bean soup theory, aka "what about me-ism."

* The viral bean soup recipe that broke the internet—and why people demanding a bean-free bean soup is the perfect metaphor for online discourse right now
* How performative advocacy is drowning out actual advocacy
* The self-centered arrogance of assuming every piece of content must be caveated for YOUR specific experience
* How left-leaning echo chambers have created a "gotcha culture" where pointing out what someone missed becomes performative activism
* Why your anxiety is making you think everything is a mortal threat
* The difference between actually dangerous content and content you simply disagree with
* How we've weaponized words like "accountability" and "responsibility" so much that we can't talk about agency anymore
* The radical truth: not everything applies to you, and that's okay
* Why distraction is a valid coping skill
