Ep. 213: Failing Your Way To Freedom (ft. Diamond Yao)

Diamond Yao joins Teen and Diana to discuss her article "Navigating Capitalist Mandates for Happiness and Collectivist Fears of Shame." What do "failure" and "success" mean in a culture of excess consumerism that dehumanizes and commodifies us? How do we get out of the white hand-me-down world?
