Why “Free Speech!!!” is Spotify’s Favorite Red Herring

02/16/22 • 30 min

The Joe Rogan // Free Speech headlines this month are just symptoms of a deeper issue – and Spotify (and other tech corporations) are thrilled we’ve taken the red herring bait...

Drilling down to the root causes of our community’s most controversial issues is not easy. But to address it, instead of putting our collective energy into battling the symptoms, is our best shot at finding new peace.

In this ep, we talk about not only the Joe Rogan // Spotify news, but:

The nitty gritty details of free speech
The psychological (manipulated, algorithmic) dependence on our devices
What responsibility lies in the for-profit hands of Big Tech

and more.

What We’ve Gotten Wrong About Gratitude

There’s a reason “gratitude” is now one of the buzziest words around. At every corner of self-help books, mental health podcasts, journals, and social media, everyone is telling us to be grateful. The (often extremely shallow) wellness industry thrives on gratitude.

And while there’s good reason for this, our understanding of gratitude is turning out to be quite limited, especially when we look at the impact it has on non-white, non-North-American, and non-individualist (collectivist) cultures. In this episode, Prerna breaks down how to broaden our perspective & holistically practice gratitude.
