Episode 21: Are We Losing Our Humanity? (w. David)

The recent death of Senator Lindsey Graham sparked an outpouring of reactions online; some respectful, others openly celebratory. Previously, the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson prompted thousands of people to publicly justify or even celebrate violence. Rather than debating the politics of either person, Matti and guest co-host David ask a broader question: What do these moments reveal about us?

In this episode, they explore how outrage can make it easier to dehumanize people we disagree with, why empathy shouldn’t depend on political affiliation, and whether our increasingly online lives have changed the way we communicate with one another. The conversation touches on political violence, social media, digital permanence, LGBTQ identity, public speculation, and the assumptions we make about people we don’t truly know.

A simple question about BlackBerry's evolution turned into a much bigger conversation about reinvention:

What does it really mean to reinvent yourself? And why do some people embrace change while others struggle to let go of who they’ve always been?
