The Human Revolution with Dylan Bain

In this episode, Dylan sat down with Jack Donovan, a prominent author known for his work on masculinity and modern paganism. Jack is the author of several books, including "The Way of Men" and "Fire in the Dark." He is also the founder of the Order of Fire, a group dedicated to exploring and developing a new solar culture.

Jack and Dylan dive into the concept of the three archetypes central to Jack's philosophy: the Father, the Striker, and the Lord of the Earth. They discuss how these archetypes represent different aspects of masculinity and their roles in creating and maintaining order in society. Jack explains how these archetypes are derived from historical myths and universal themes, emphasizing the importance of the father figure as a guiding and rule-setting leader.

The conversation also touches on the often-overlooked work of the Lord of the Earth, which involves the day-to-day tasks and relationship-building necessary for maintaining stability. They explore how modern men can balance the excitement of the warrior archetype with the essential but less glamorous responsibilities of everyday life.

Jack shares insights on the Order of Fire's mission to create a new cultural aesthetic that reflects positive masculine values and how they aim to inspire art, music, and literature that embody these ideals. Tune in to learn more about Jack's work, his vision for the future, and how you can get involved with the Order of Fire.

The so-called “quiet quitting” trend has recently taken the workforce by storm. Unlike real, actual quitting, quiet quitting refers to doing nothing more than what one’s job description states. Quiet quitters continue to fulfill their primary responsibilities but are unwilling to do extra, unpaid work. No more staying late at the office or attending unnecessary meetings.

But how and why has quiet quitting come to be so prevalent among today’s workers? What exactly changed in the months following the COVID-19 pandemic?

In this episode, Dylan gets into the nitty-gritty of quiet quitting — what it is, why it’s happening, and whether it’s a good idea.

• [01:03] Recap of the episode on the social contract theory
• [03:47] How the idea of social contracts is linked to quiet quitting
• [08:40] The social contract that “baby boomers” know
• [13:32] Why the social contract that baby boomers grew up with hardly held true for millennials
• [16:23] Why the HR practice of promoting from without gave rise to job hopping
• [18:17] How the COVID pandemic changed the US job market
• [21:54] How the COVID-19 recession differs from previous recessions in US history
• [23:28] How the COVID-19 pandemic affected how Gen Z employees approached jobs
• [27:11] Why quiet quitting goes back to discussions of GDP as a poor measure of well-being
• [28:06] On whether quiet quitting is a good idea
• [28:36] Closing statements
