Our Cultural Crisis Ep XIV: Amusing Ourselves to Death, Part II (From Flight to Fight, the Evolution of Fear)

Fear comes to play an important role in an over-stimulated culture of entertainment such as ours. In this episode, we explore the nature of fear and its development in our society—how it breeds a lust for certainty and ultimately breeds polarization and tribalization. Specifically, we examine the role that the internet and social media play in promulgating fear. And—most importantly—we chart a path towards beyond fear, in patience, curiosity, and resilience.
