  • American Myths
    2021/04/27

    "Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootstraps"
    "America is a Melting Pot"
    "Anyone can succeed in America"

    These are just some of the idioms you've probably heard that make up America's national mythos. In this episode, MK and Ben breakdown these myths, draw out a distinction between mythology and identity, and pick through the wreckage of our nation's crumbling mythos for what is salvageable.

    FABRICATED Premise:
    Beyond the narratives we recognize as stories, we discuss the stories that shape our lives, the power they have over our actions and beliefs, and how we might wrest back some personal agency when stories designed to control permeate our media and political landscape.

    Our mission is to dissect the stories we take for granted as truths, unravel them, and see if we can find story threads that weave a better personal, spiritual, and social fabric.

    In this special episode, MK interviews Ben about his experience as an Asian American. They break down some misconceptions about the AAPI community, examine how anti-asianness is a symptom of greater issues, and talk about some ways to prevent violence against the AAPI community going forward.

  • Looting
    2021/03/30

    In this episode, we talk about the media hysteria over the presence of looting at some of last summer's protests for racial justice. Does looting get outsize media attention? Did the coverage of property damage obfuscate what is really important? Why do some forms of protest get lionized in our national myths while others are met with violence and contempt?

    At the time of publishing, officer Derek Chauvin has gone to trial for the murder of George Floyd, one of the horrific incidents of violence against African Americans caught on camera that caused a massive surge of support for the BLM and last summer's protests. The work continues to address our nation's inequalities, deadly police violence, and our justice system.
