Topics
Eric Weinstein认为,现代社会缺乏共享的"品味",导致人们更多地依赖规则、权利和法律来约束彼此的行为,而不是依靠共同的文化预期。这种缺乏共享品味的现象导致社会冲突不断,对话停滞不前,人们更多地进行无意义的争论,而不是有建设性的对话。他认为,在公共领域重新讨论和传递"品味"至关重要,这有助于促进社会进步和理解,让人们能够在共享的价值观基础上进行更有效的沟通和交流。他提出了一些他认为重要的价值观,并指出这些价值观可能会引起争议,但他认为公开讨论这些价值观是必要的。

Chapters

Shownotes Transcript

This is the first episode of The Portal which was 100% recorded at home, during quarantine, under social isolation. The guest is none other than my own son Zev Weinstein and the recording was timed to straddle his midnight transition from being 14 into being 15 years old. 

Zev is currently a 9th grader who occasionally posts to his YouTube Channel GenerationZ (https://www.youtube.com/c/GenerationZW)) and his Twitter Account @Zev__Weinstein (https://twitter.com/Zev__Weinstein)). In this episode, we sit down to discuss history, poetry, COVID19, jewish humor and other issues, as well as the three questions I am frequently asked about on the topic of parenting: 

A) What is the proper approach to parenting a child whose learning differences are significant? 

B) Do you have any novel approaches to parenting? 

C) What is the best way to parent young boys in a world that cannot find a shared positive vision of masculinity worth celebrating? 

Rather than attempt to answer these questions entirely on my own, I thought it would make sense to bring Zev onto The Portal to discuss them with me in his own distinct voice. I hope you will enjoy this episode in the spirit with which it was recorded, and that you will encourage Zev to speak on issues of Generation Z. They are already quite well equipped to discuss how they view the generations above them in handling the world, whose stewardship they will soon inherit.
