Episode notes

The chapter explores the importance of respectful discussions on challenging topics backed by facts and being provocative yet respectful. It also delves into regulating social media for young people, suggestions to avoid apathy towards learning for Gen Alpha students, and the changing dynamics of capitalism and socialism. Additionally, discussions touch on creating a movement for change through political engagement, addressing societal challenges, and fostering empathy towards the struggles of young men in society.

In this special conversation, NYU marketing professor Scott Galloway and head of TED Chris Anderson dive deeper into Galloway’s explosive recent TED Talk, which has been seen by millions and ignited conversations about what he calls “the great intergenerational theft,” or how older generations are stealing prosperity from the young. With razor-sharp insights on the skyrocketing cost of housing, the mental health crisis created by social media, reckless government spending and more, Galloway explores bold solutions to the most pressing issues facing young people — and delivers a few spectacular rants along the way.
