What We Discuss with Andrew Callaghan:

  • Conspiracy theories serve as collective self-soothing mechanisms in chaotic times. They provide the comforting illusion that someone has a plan when life feels out of control, offering simple answers to complex questions.
  • Political radicalization often stems from unprocessed trauma. January 6th Capitol rioters weren't random — 60% had filed for bankruptcy, 20% lost homes, and 50% were in severe debt, channeling personal grievances into a spiritual war.
  • Modern media thrives on micro-traumatic digital content that triggers cortisol through outrage. Both mainstream and alternative outlets deploy this tactic, explaining why casual podcasts now frequently outperform traditional news.
  • Social media and technology addiction are creating profound disconnection. Andrew predicts Generation Alpha's children will likely rebel against technology, viewing phone use the way we now view cigarettes — as an obviously harmful habit.
  • Community connection matters more than material success. The most resilient people aren't those with wealth or status but those with strong human bonds. Building genuine relationships with neighbors and friends creates a safety net for life's inevitable challenges.
  • And much more...
