About this episode

The episode discusses the broken American social contract and the media's role in perpetuating rage, featuring guests F.D. Signifier and Kat Tenbarge.

It’s time to podmax. The Internet’s biggest rising star is a 20-year-old from New Jersey named Braden Peters, and he wants your sons to hit their jaws with hammers so they can get girlfriends. Not great! But in my quest to explain Clavicular, I encountered other, bigger problems: a generation of young people who know the American social contract is broken, a generation of older people who don’t care, and a media industry that feeds off rage at the expense of reality.
