Today I am joined by Ben from the YouTube channel Dummy, where he talks about media theory, history, and business. In this episode we touch on a wide range of topics, from propaganda, to Noam Chomsky, an ecological approach to media literacy, the Israel-Palestine war, YouTube censorship, Trump 2.0, big tech, and much more!

I also give a preview of what's coming down the pipe for this podcast. I got a lot of ideas!

'Little Miss Sunshine' teaches us to accept our absurd existence, and in this acceptance, we can find joy. In this video, I bring in concepts from Albert Camus, Friedrich Nietszche, and Marcel Proust to illustrate that the suffering we feel should not be resisted, but accepted, a powerful concept to anyone who’s gone through a dark time in their life.
