Never Coming of Age in America: Adulting and Alienation in a Decadent Society

Season 7 Episode 22 Published 7 months, 1 week ago
Description

This week the boys are joined by eternal co-host Jess to discuss the novelty of adults being adults. We discuss the self-infantilization of millennials and older zoomers, which is a reflection of the crisis of meaning and deep rot at the heart of liberal modernity. We believe this is the result of a purely self-oriented conception of liberty and the ideological victory of capital's redefinition of the very essence of what it means to be human.
