Podcast #590: Cultural Stagnation and A.I. Dolls

About this episode

This episode kicks off with a brief discussion about baseball, after which we turn our attention to Hollywood and its passing golden age. We play and discuss a video on the topic of cultural stagnation: Why is it that so much of the content young people consume—whether music, movies, fashion, and even politics—is the exact same material as what people 30 years older than them are consuming? We talk about the future of A.I. "dolls" and what their existence says about the nature of relationships today. We wrap up with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."
