#604: The Boring Decadence of Modern Society
On the surface, it can feel like we've made a lot of technological, economic, and cultural progress during the past 30 years. But if you look closer, you start to notice that in a lot of ways, we've been running on repeat for several decades now. My guest today argues that this is what typically happens to rich and powerful societies: A period of growth and dynamism, such as we experienced after WWII, is followed by a period of stagnation and malaise. His name is Ross Douthat and his latest book is The Decadent Society: How We Became the Victims of Our Own Success. We begin our conversation discussing Ross's idea of decadence and how it's particularly marked by the quality of boredom. We then explore how decadence manifests itself in different areas of our society: Ross and I discuss how even though the realms of the economy and technology might seem vibrant (or at least they did before the pandemic struck), Americans are actually starting fewer businesses, moving less for work, and making fewer life-altering innovations than in times past. We then discuss the fact that clothing styles haven't changed all that much from the 1990s, the repercussions of couples having fewer children, and the calcification of our political institutions. We end our conversation with how each of us as individuals can fight back against decadence.

I Gave Someone Advice and $1000 ... What Happened Next? | IG Live Follow-Up
A few weeks ago I did an impromptu live stream where I jammed with my community on the phone for 2 hours. Yesterday my team checked in with two people to find out what happened next. On this episode you'll get to hear the initial phone call from the live stream and the follow up call with TeamGary. Please please please let me know what you thought on twitter @garyvee and include my team as well @teamgaryvee
This might be a format we double down on ;)
