Kale and Rod catch up on Rod’s stay in Budapest. In this wide-ranging conversation, they discuss social media and the default socialization of the young, the new perspective on things from the outside, the Chinese move to fill the void of Western meltdown and the latest chapter in the long march through the institutions. Has any culture had to deal with the twin-headed monster of social media and porn ubiquity? What effect are these having on the plastic minds of the young? Is the body politic in more danger from the genetic disease or the various memetic ones? What is our responsibility and method to fight back?
