complexities

Private credit is booming, nearing $2tn in assets globally. Most of that debt is being traded out of the public eye, a fact highlighted in the latest Global Financial Stability report from the IMF. Is the IMF right to be worried? We discuss. We also short media coverage of Jamie Dimon and go long vowels.

What happens when someone becomes a human-rights icon – but then turns out to stand for something else entirely? Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng was locked up for fighting against China’s One Child Policy and suffered years of unlawful imprisonment. In 2012, following a daring midnight escape, he landed in the United States a hero. But that’s only the beginning of his story. Just a few years later, he would re-enter the spotlight as an avid Trump supporter and a “Stop the Steal” rally-goer. How did this happen? Alison Klayman, Colin Jones, and Yangyang Cheng set out on a journey to find out – did Guangcheng change, or was he totally misunderstood from the beginning? From Crooked Media, This is Dissident At The Doorstep.

This week we talk about girls not being in love with us. What we wish we could say to them. Oh also Santa stops by and DOES HIS FIRST PODCAST INTERVIEW EVER!!! We can’t believe we got him either. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS  

ALSO WE HAVE MERCH NOW https://shopdropouts.com

Ross Kemp has just ‘exposed’ Michael Jackson in a documentary about the treatment of animals in the zoo in the Neverland Ranch, Rob thinks it’s the most pointless documentary ever! Listen in to hear his thoughts and why we need more balance on media too!

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• What is the point of doing an expose on Michael Jackson when he died 15 years ago. Ross Kemp is arguably a credible documentarian, why is he spending his time on something which is ancient history. There’s no art or point in this documentary.

• Rob was talking to Michael’s good friend Matt Fiddes just yesterday, being his ex-bodyguard and friend he can give a balanced view on Michael and how he lives his life. He wants to give the other side of the story and does so on his podcast: The Matt Fiddes Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-matt-fiddes-show/id1565972831

BEST MOMENTS

“Michael Jackson has been dead for nearly 15 years, so what’s the point” 

“Ross Kemp, go back to doing good work!”

“There’s not enough balance on media”

On September 9th, This Jungian Life will launch a new podcast experience - SHADOWLAND. In this series, we meet soulfully with people who live and work in the hidden places of our culture.

Walk with us and discover the voice of psyche on unexpected paths.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we'll discuss the very funny but also instructive story of a woman who left America because of its violence and racism and moved instead to Mexico, a country that is far worse than America in every category and by every measure. Also Five Headlines including Joe Biden continuing to fall apart on camera, and the supposedly surging QAnon movement. And in our Daily Cancellation I cancel Ryan Reynolds for being the latest celebrity to issue a groveling and ridiculous apology.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." These words, penned by Thomas Jefferson more than 240 years ago, continue to inspire many Americans. And yet they were written by a man who owned hundreds of slaves, and fathered six children by an enslaved woman. As we mark Independence Day this week, we return to a 2018 episode with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed. We explore the contradictions in Jefferson's life — and how those contradictions might resonate in our own lives.

Friendship is arguably the most unique type of relationship in our lives. Friendships aren't driven by sexual attraction or by a sense of duty, as in romantic and familial relationships, but instead are entirely freely chosen.

My guest today says that's part of why friendship is both uniquely wonderful and uniquely challenging. His name is Bill Rawlins, he's a professor of interpersonal communication, and he's spent his career studying the dynamics of friendship and authored several books on the subject, including Friendship Matters. Bill and I begin our conversation discussing why friendship is often taken for granted, and what makes friendships unique from other types of relationships. We then explore the four particular tensions that arise in friendship: the tension between independence and dependence, affection and instrumentality, judgement and acceptance, and expressiveness and protectiveness. We also talk about how these tensions manifest in male friendships versus female friendships, and whether it's true as is commonly said that modern men don't have good friendships. We then shift into talking about how friendships change across the life cycle, starting with how kids think about friendship differently than adults. We unpack why it is we often think of the friends we made in adolescence as the best friends we ever had, and why many men stop having good friends in adulthood. We end our conversation with Bill's advice for making friends as a grown-up.

Lots of insights in this show on a relationship that isn't typically examined or well understood.
