Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be.

In this episode, we examine why arts education often maintains higher standards even as liberal arts programs shrink in schools and universities, and what students lose when curriculum narrows to job training. We discuss how platforms like X are adding country-of-origin labels to identify foreign influence and bot activity, and highlight the “foolishness of the week” involving the controversy over the “world’s strongest woman” and the broader questions it raises about biology and competitive fairness. We turn to Australia’s proposal to ban social media for kids under sixteen, exploring the practical limits of age verification, the tension between parental authority and government regulation, and why teens remain vulnerable to algorithmic manipulation. We close by considering where society should draw age boundaries, how platforms shape behavior, and what genuine responsibility looks like in the digital age.

23:21 Why Age Verification Won’t Work in Practice
26:08 Should the Government Regulate Children’s Social Media Use?
27:32 Algorithmic Bubbles and Teen Vulnerability
33:45 96% of Australian Children Ages 10-15 Use Social Media
34:55 Where to Draw the Line: 13, 16, or 18?
39:34 Parental Responsibility vs. Government Control
46:34 Closing Thoughts on Freedom, Parenting, and Policy
