David Siegel - Why Community? Ep. 71
Manage episode 328004758 series 2838114
If there’s one thing Western society needs right now, it’s the rejuvenation of community. But what does it take to rebuild community out of the ashes of COVID, and
in the face of a loneliness epidemic sweeping across America and the West at large? To unpack all of this, Rabbi Ari spoke to a man who quite literally does this for a living — David Siegel, CEO of Meetup, the largest social media platform for building in-real-life
community in the world, and author of the new book “Decide and Conquer,” out now.
They spoke about how to beat loneliness; why Rousseau is wrong; lessons learned from the rise and fall of WeWork; whether community can survive the trajectory of American liberalism;
the threat that social media culture poses to community in 2022; and much more!
