Throwing soup at paintings / Cat dads vs dog dads / Gratitude - yeah or nah?
1 - We delve into the effectiveness of political protests. Is throwing soup at a painting going to fix the climate crisis? Are Gen Z’s really the “last generation”?
Joe shares some stories of his historical political activism and why he thinks his way was better. Ali shares some insights from a Gen Z and why they may not be the last generation but in the current political landscape it might feel like it. Sam doesn’t care that he may never see a Van Gogh, but believes this kind of protest highlights that we need to convince the majority to take action.
2 - Masculinity, what does your pet say about you? Are they a reflection of your status or are you comfortable in yourself? Is being able to control a wild animal important to you?
Joe a self identified “dog dad” examines some of his controlling behaviours in dating. Sam a “committed cat dad” is happy cheer his partner on no matter what they’re doing. Ali shares her experiences of dating both dog dads and cat dads and her thoughts on why Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” is resonating with women of all ages. We also discuss sartorial choices and other social signals in dating.
3 - Gratitude, is it the panacea for living in a neo capitalist system?
Is it an inclusive practice or is there a darker side to “Big Gratitude”?
Sam, Joe and Ali have all practiced gratitude and have experienced the benefits, particularly for our mental health, however we explore the limitations and privilege to do so. We share some insights into our own mental health diagnoses and neurodiversity as well as how we practice gratitude and the overlap between traditional psychological methodologies, traditional religious and spiritual practices and the value they have.
