Dan & Can Podcast 143: When Words Lose Their Power: Are We Softening Abuse and Losing Free Speech?
Description
In this open conversation, Dan and Can tackle a question few are willing to ask: Are we losing our freedom of speech—and the weight of truth—by softening our language for social media?We start lightheartedly with a chat about Halloween and growing up in conservative homes where even trick-or-treating came with moral warnings. From there, the conversation turns deep. We reflect on how “political correctness” shaped our generation, how euphemisms like “grape” for “rape” or “unalive” for “suicide” may protect algorithms but dilute reality, and whether our efforts to avoid offense might actually erase accountability.We suggest a return to trigger warnings instead of censorship—because trauma healing requires truth, not silence. Together, we ask:Are we truly protecting people, or just numbing the world into apathy?Interested in facing your triggers, getting better sleep, or learning to regulate your nervous system in a natural, organic way?
