The Goal Post Episode 24 - Society Can F Itself (Or Not)

(Note from us at The Goal Post - Some problems with the recording today caused the audio, particularly on Rob's side, to be much rougher than usual. You can still hear and understand him but the quality is such that no amount of audio editing will really make it better, so the full audio is presented as is. Depsite this we hope you enjoy this episode for what it is)

Hold your judgments regarding the title folks - there is a context for this. In today's episode we talk about the question "Is Society F***ed" and try to come up with some answers. Lots to unpack here, we discuss the loose definition of "society" in this case whether it means the immediate community, the nation, "The West", or the world over; we talk about what exactly it means for society to be "F***ed" and who gives what kind of solutions and what motives, and a possible conclusion we entertain is that regarding societal collapse, there are no victims only volunteers, so therefore if society does collapse, it chose to (hence, Society Can F Itself) but it absolutely doesn't have to and isn't doomed to (hence, Or Not).

We also talk a bit about revisiting Gillette's shares after their early 2019 woke ad and how they've never realistically recovered from that, as well as Japan's problems as a society and how they very well are capable of F***ing themselves.
