“Cool” has become a cultural monolith in the past hundred years, and an idea we all instinctively recognize, but what is its nature? Beyond the temporary fads or current trends, what is the essence of the thing we all mean when we point to the “Cool” itself? Who decides what is, and what is not cool, and how do we know what will be cool in the future?
In this episode, we discuss the fundamental foundations of coolness and the core values that define it beyond the particular momentary expressions. We delve into the historical instances that are held up as icons, and the peculiarly unique ways we each can find our own sorts of cool within ourselves. In a world fueled by insecurity, we seek to reach beyond the dictation of powers that would make us second guess our own instincts, to learn how to stand in our own unique awesomeness.
