In this episode of “The Slog Pod,” the hosts discuss the pervasive influence of outrage culture in today’s society, particularly on social media platforms like X and Instagram. They explore how businesses, media, and religious institutions capitalize on outrage to drive clicks, views, and profits, often at the cost of social and cultural health. The conversation delves into the psychological impact of rigid belief systems and the difficulty of changing deeply ingrained identities. The hosts advocate for awareness, fluid thinking, and a commitment to seeking truth as antidotes to the current polarized and profit-driven landscape. They also touch on the need for businesses and leaders to adopt more honest communication and avoid exploiting outrage for profit. The episode concludes with a call to “unsubscribe from outrage,” and embrace a healthier, more balanced approach to beliefs and social interactions.
