Why Modern Culture Rewards the Shallow
Update: 2025-09-19
Description
Modern culture often rewards the shallow rather than valuing true wisdom. From reality TV to viral trends, society celebrates noise, narcissism, and surface level thinking while ignoring depth and critical thought.
In this episode, we explore how entertainment has replaced truth, how intelligence is marginalized, and why superficiality dominates. Drawing on the insights of thinkers like Neil Postman, Carl Jung, Aldous Huxley, and Erich Fromm, we uncover the hidden consequences of glorifying stupidity and the quiet erosion of genuine understanding.
