Sean and Brett talk about how much progress is made over many decades, yet in the current age there always seems to be so much wrong. They also disagree about extending human lifespans and spanking children, reuniting their opinions to make light of how horrible child abuse and the Israel/Palestine conflict are. Brett then shifts gears to talk about his personal experiences with anxiety, and he and Sean talk about strategies for coping with the losing streaks when everything seems to be down in your life. Brett then shares a story from college about microaggressions, and they gently debate the balance between sensitivity to difficulties and the necessity of toughness. They end with excitement about next week's in person episode with a college friend guest.
