About this episode

The episode discusses stagflation, social media's impact on society, and the absurdities of modern life.

This week on The Higher Standard, Chris, Saied and Rajeel do what the internet refuses to do: have a real conversation without immediately joining a cult. From political tribalism and social media brain rot to stagflation, AI pivots and the absolute insanity of a dead shoe company becoming an “AI infrastructure” play, this episode is a masterclass in spotting the hustle before it spots you. Along the way, the guys unpack why everything feels fake, why people feel stuck, and why modern life somehow includes paying for attention, hype and digital nonsense dressed up as opportunity. Equal parts sharp, funny and slightly unhinged, this one has a little bit of everything. 💥 Have you left your "honest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" review? This episode is proudly brought to you by Fridays.
