Overthinking Everything is essentially about exploring the Origin of the Idea. Why do we think the things we think and believe the things we believe? It's not as difficult to understand, once we unplug, detach, and step back from the issue. But it's a journey of discovery we'll go on together, Overthinking Everything!

In this first season, Deconstructing A Culture of Cultism, I'm exploring not only the Origin of Idea, but attempting to explain how easily we are led down the path to cultism. I'd like this series to be an exercise in perspective and training the brain to think critically.

In this 8th episode, we're exploring how social media can lead us down the path to cultism, almost herding us into pens of "either/or", "pick a side" on issues that we barely even understand, but that affect us all! In The Morality of the Minimum Wage, I'm overthinking a meme I saw on Facebook asking "Would you rather give a homeless person a million dollars of a job and a driver's license?" We'll deconstruct some of the cultism attached to our views on class, income, and equality/equity in the workforce. I want to dispel this myth that wealth hoarding doesn't exist and that people can "EARN" millions of dollars an hour, while we deem others barely worth $10 an hour. We're flipping the pyramid in America's Capitalism pyramid scheme as we explore the Morality of the Minimum Wage!

There is a reason many don't understand history and some of that comes down to education. However, even how I am presenting this information lacks a lot of detail, nuance, and context. I hope this showcases just how challenging it is, even for the most scholarly intellectual of us (which I am not) to fully understand.

How can we expect the average working-class American to understand?

This season will explore many topics beyond politics and history. I am simplifying a lot of very detailed and nuanced events, but it's time we examine some of what we know from slightly different angles - angles maybe we weren't taught in school. I am Deconstructing my own journey through politics, religion, social change, education, capitalism, and more. As someone who has crawled out of the Toxic White Southern Culture, I'm here to tell you it isn't easy, nor is it pretty. BUT, it IS Fascinating!
