Mark Groves - The Elusive Relationship To Truth

Talking points: truth, social media, relationships, men, culture


Phew! Mark and I covered about a million things this episode, but that's what happens when you've been friends for over a decade. There's an overarching theme though: getting caught up in narratives, and how that actually fractures our ability to stay relational and kind to people. Dig in for this very wide-ranging conversation.


Editor's note: while Adderall (dextroamphetamine) has some molecular similarity with methamphetamine, they are not the same. The attached methyl group—the "meth" part—lets the compound cross the blood-brain barrier very easily, last longer, and amps up how addictive it is. The "dextro" means the compound is arranged in a specific way so much lower doses can be used.


(00:00:00) - Why men a seen as the problem in our current society, and how social media plays into that narrative

(00:14:42) - Balancing our perception of what men and women each bring to the table

(00:27:59) - How Mark approaches charged topics and binary thinking

(00:43:07) - Dehumanizing is easier thanks to social media, and how to stay relational

(00:58:06) - Acknowledging complexity, and intersubjective reality
