New pod: The rise of "dopamine culture" and the decline of pop culture in America

First, I discuss the Ted Gioa's argument that pop culture is being turned into a virtual casino of the mind that is better at producing reward-seeking behavior than quality art.

Then, I talk to @skornhaber about his long Atlantic essay "Is This the Worst-Ever Era of American Pop Culture?" and what he identified as the four horsemen of the pop culture apocalypse

1. Stagnation: the economics of pop culture nostalgia, the staggering challenges of making big original movies, and the algorithmic and private-equity dynamics elevating old music over new music

2. Cynicism: how an obsession with identity has flattened creativity in the visual arts and beyond

3. Isolation: e.g., bands and bars slowly being replaced by music that people make alone in their rooms with computers for an audience of ... people listening alone in their rooms with computers

4. Attention rot: it's not easy aiming for quality in a world where ppl are losing the capacity to pay attention to anything for more than a few seconds

Finally, I ask: If every decade is inevitably considered a golden age of something in culture ... what will the 2020s be known as the golden age of?

"We learn efficient ways of doing things, and we stay in those efficient ways of doing things, and so we stop using the parts of our brain that allow us to assimilate new things....So, yeah, I think it's a good idea to be lost occasionally" -@sweatscience (from this week's post)

Best part of this career is making friends like these guys. Great to have a brief @HuskersNAPL reunion in Jacksonville

[Friends of Anthony Bourdain @bourdainpodcast]

“When you travel everything changes. It is a humbling experience and you see how insignificant you are and how little your world matters to the rest of the world. How much harder people work in the rest of the world, how difficult their lives are and how terrible things can happen to really good people. Those things make an impression. When you walk in another person’s shoes for just a minute it’s a life changing thing.”

💡Running on your toes is a terrible cue.🙃😟😅

🏥Number one cause of shin splints and other issues up chain linked to hamstring injuries , rec fem injuries and lower back and groin stress. ⚰️

🪗A simple way to be efficient in your running actions is to share the load across your ankle, knee and hip by flexing to ankle to a “near neutral” position prior to ground contact. 🪗

💡Everyone knows Dorsi-flexion is key for pretension.

🤭The action , rather than the end positions 🤭

🎅🏾 Those suggesting the action isn’t “CRITICAL” have started early on the Christmas rum.🍹

Ps, you can control terminal swing of your thigh even MORE when your dorsi flexed.

🔒 LOCK your ankle!

🔨 WACK the floor!

⚡️ RIP your foot off
