## Resource

Jeremy Boreing is joined by biologist Colin Wright, Jacob of The Moderate Case, and Josh Carr for a Wednesday Live conversation that starts with a deceptively simple question — why are we addicted to despair when there's never been more reason for optimism? From there they cover the toxic economics of online outrage, the double-edged sword of anonymity, Trump's refusal to be a moral leader and what that vacuum has cost the right, the collapse of conservative institutions, and why victimhood on both left and right is best understood as a social contagion. In the back half, Jeremy turns the table on his younger guests with a frank warning about the slow, incremental compromises that turn principled voices into something unrecognizable. 0:00 - Intro: A Christian, an Atheist, and a Member of the LDS Walk In 1:19 - Why Are We Addicted to Despair? 8:19 - Online Anonymity: Protection or Poison? 18:17 - Trump's Moral Vacuum and the Collapse of Ideological Leadership 30:12 - How Conservatives Rebuild: Marriage, Institutions, and Culture 43:44 - The Victim Mentality Is a Social Contagion 1:07:06 - What Fame, Money, and Power Do to Young Influencers 1:26:03 - Leading Your Audience vs. Surrendering to It 1:31:37 - Preview: Why Should I Be Catholic?
