Therapist Tracey joins Ross to discuss the fact that humans have always worried about whatever technology allowed them to connect and share ideas.  The difficulty and benefits of leaving social media, and why no one cares if you do are evaluated. Tangents include: suburbia; figurative "wings"; steamer trunks; fake running away; emotional bank accounts; the lurking danger of coffee shops; Plato; "Meta"; lingo; what it means to be a "modern person"; time machine theory; "Back to the Future".  The word "perspicacious" is used a lot and Tracey reveals her passwords.
