"Posting About Quitting Social Media" w/ Jamie Loftus

StraightioLab ·

2021/11/16

This week on the pod, George and Sam welcome Jamie Loftus on and aim destroy each other’s reputations by diving into the Taylor Swift discourse. The only thing able to break the gravitational pull of Taylor is the rich topic. Our take (spoiler alert) is that you should quit social media, but also you probably can’t and therefore shouldn't, but also books about how social media is bad are just as bad as social media itself and, in fact, bring into question the whole point of books. What's not
