In this thought-provoking episode of the "Healthy & Awake Podcast," Mike Vera delves into the increasingly controversial realm of free speech, intellectual bravery, and the erosion of our right to offend. Traversing from the coasts of Australia to the heartland of America, Mike highlights the alarming rise of censorship and self-censorship. Drawing parallels from legendary provocateurs like Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, he raises the question: when did we, as a society, become so acutely sensitive to words? When did humor get handcuffed, and when did jokes turn into perceived crimes?

In the latter half, Mike dives deeper into the origins and implications of this cultural shift. Is the modern generation being groomed for mental fragility? Are we trading discourse for comfort? From the evolving lexicon of microaggressions to the dangers of compelled speech, Mike exposes the potential pitfalls of a society that's easily controlled because they're easily offended. Join him in this episode for a candid exploration of where we are and where we might be headed. It's time to awaken the critical thinker in all of us.
