Originally written in response to the killing of Renee Good. Perhaps more important after the killing of Alex Pretti.

How money has corrupted American values and institutions (video)

Scott Galloway in conversation on the Trevor Noah "What Now?" podcast:

"And I think where we came off the tracks is this idolatry of money. When I was a kid, my dad's boss had a slightly bigger house, but we all went to the same country club. We all went to the same school. Money buys you everything from better health care to better schools to a much broader selection set of mates. So we have become obsessed, understandably, with money.

The idolatry of the dollar and these tech innovators has gone berserk. And so the pursuit of the dollar, in my opinion, has crowded out almost all traditional character.  

Look what money has done to us. Look what it's done.  If you had a friend who was making Nazi salutes, a parent teacher conferences, and was being sued by two women for sole custody, their kids, and you had heard from credible sources that they were addicted to ketamine, wouldn't you move in and say, hey, boss, something's wrong here.

But not if you're rich, not if you can put a rocket into space or make a shit ton of money with EVs. Money has perverted us. It is crowded out all sense of character, of decency, of what it means to be a real man.

We have decided that you can get away with anything as long as you're rich. It's been a total, in my opinion, a lack of a moral failing.

Don't Listen to this! Brene Brown interviews "Esther Perel on New AI – Artificial Intimacy" (audio)

"In this first episode in a series on the possibilities and costs of living beyond human scale, Brené and Esther Perel discuss how we manage the paradox of exploring the world of social media and emerging technologies while staying tethered to our humanness. How do we create IRL relationships where we see and value others and feel seen and valued in the context of constant scrolling and using digital technology as armor?"
