Part 8/13:
The importance of casual, unstructured social interactions is emphasized, with the speakers expressing concern that Gen Z is missing out on the value of bonding through shared experiences that aren’t scheduled or goal-oriented. They argue that the act of hanging out should be less about ticking a box and more about genuine connection.
The Impact of Self-Discipline and Drug Use on Social Engagement
The discussion also touches on how drugs—particularly prescribed medications—may influence social behaviors among young people. It’s suggested that certain medications like benzodiazepines or opioids can diminish the desire or ability to engage socially, potentially contributing to a more solitary lifestyle.
