Listened a second time, and great episode from Old Aunt May to Uncle Tom Holland…
I never understood the thought that the young generation would be completely different and better.
Having a younger generation isn’t a new thing. All terrible people have been young once or are even still young.
Your Aunt May discussion got me thinking about how a lot of shows (the CW DC shows come to mind) and how there is a general move away from powerless side characters. Autonomy means different things to different people and being able to be empowered as who you are rather than being empowered in a similar way to the main character seems lost.
Yes, there are far too many characters (especially women) there just to be saved or iceboxed in shows and movies, but what needs to be done is to have their stories fleshed out rather than to eliminate that aspect of stories.
I also agree with the need for a range of ages in the body politic. That being said, I think that our older representatives should have the wisdom of age. A lot of politicians, especially on the right are nepo-babies who have gotten old but never wise – because they have been playing the game of life on easy mode with all the cheat codes.
Summary of my voicemail (s) a vast majority of the give leadership to the youth calls only applies to men that people like. Folks rarely ever apply that rule to women. A lot of young leaders around the world, (in Africa) are, not bad, they are WOEFUL. All they have to use to cover their tracks is say “France this or that” and we absolve them of responsibility. After their death and their victims who survived start talking. Who admits that we were wrong?
Great episode as always. I should return back to scam tangs!
