Deep dives
Real Estate in New York City
The real estate agents on the show 'Owning Manhattan' should fear for their lives as their role in the industry is portrayed as transactional and meaningless. The show depicts a superficial and cutthroat environment where agents are overly confident and obsessed with setting records and making deals in the hyper-competitive New York City market.
Wealth and Power Perceptions
The show highlights the gross display of wealth and power, presenting a distorted view of success and ambition. It underscores the emptiness of money for the sake of money and the lack of humility or self-awareness among those chasing material gains without purpose or meaning.
Political Engagement and Civic Responsibility
There is a critique on the lack of young people entering politics or civic duties, with a focus on material wealth and fame overshadowing civic engagement. The commentary questions the absence of a new generation of leaders and the shift towards individual wealth accumulation over public service or political participation.
Dynasties and Political Engagement
The absence of new political dynasties or individuals interested in saving the country is highlighted, with a lament over the focus on money, reality TV, and real estate rather than long-term planning or public service. The criticism extends to educational institutions nurturing material pursuits over civic responsibilities or political engagement.
Cultural Trends and Societal Commentary
A broader critique is presented on cultural trends, societal values, and the influence of reality TV on shaping perceptions of success and ambition. It questions the direction of society towards individual gain over collective progress, exemplified by the shallow and narcissistic portrayals of wealth and power in media.
Tim examines President Biden's press conference, dance moms, weapon catalogues, fake babies, celebrity kids, NYC realtors and the return of pragmatism.
