What Is Happening to Our Brains?  (The Edge)

With all of the convo coming to the table about our culture's rise in mental health issues, Kelly and Chip bring forth their own questions about the toll social media can take on our brains and mental and emotional well being. Kelly discusses an article she read about influencer culture and relates it to her own struggle with that position and the deep impact it had on her mental and emotional health. Chip brings forth the discussion about the algorithm's impact on our brains and also the constant overstimulation created in our culture. They tie in the overall impact of constantly absorbing information unconsciously, reference why gun violence has brought this to the forefront of mine and even sing a little bit to lighten the heavy mood as of late.
