Outside the Manosphere: a Nontoxic Bromance23 Jun 2025

7. Reboot Culture

In this episode, the boys consider some of the implications of how artificial intelligence and 3D printing will affect people's (specifically men) sense of relevance as they lose their jobs to progressive technology; they also consider universal basic income, and how the 1972 Burt Reynolds film Deliverance ties into this sense of ineptitude looming on the horizon. Cancel culture and the false war of humor vs. kindness finds its way into the conversation, and, at long last, Carlos manifests some woo-woo in Skip.
