On the Millennial Mind

In this episode we address communication between millennials, and how their adoption of technology, from personal contact to cyberspace communication, has shaped their mind state.  

In this episode, we talk about some ways in which millennials see the system they inherited, and how they are unconsciously coping with it.  Surrounded by many voices telling them what they should be, do, and feel, millennials try to make sense of who they are and how they should live.

We continue with the conversation on gaming. How far can gaming help us know ourselves? In this episode, we talk about Off, Journey, and Grand Theft Auto. What happens when you find yourself in the wrong, morally speaking? Can a game help you go beyond good and evil, to find that part of yourself where all barriers are off and you have to face the shadow in you?  Gaming can be art, and as art it can go beyond marketing and the need to be pleasing. They are far and few, but some games are doing this, and as art, they help us face ourselves from new perspectives. Please, go to iTunes or Stitcher and rate this show. Also, leave a review.

Hello! In this episode of On the Millennial Mind, we talk about the role of gaming in child development, and why gaming in more important than good grades in school.  Check out Alec's blog, On the Millennial at: https://onthemillennial.tumblr.com

We talk about Journey, and how gaming is a true spiritual technology, a shamanic training ground, and a meditative tool. We also touch on other games, such as Zelda, Super Smash Brothers Melee, and Diablo 2.

In this episode, we talk about the show Rick and Morty. What is the appeal of Rick? Isn't his crude, antisocial, irreverent and disrespectful disdain for hive mentality the opposite of the millennial mindset? Or is Rick somehow a heroic sublimation of millennial aspiration?

We continue talking about humor for the millennial mind. What makes a joke an act of aggression? What is the role of oppression and victimization in humor, and when are these topics acceptable? When does a joke fall flat? How is the Millennial's sense of humor a guiding light for humanity? And why is compassion such a necessary component for a good joke?

We tackle humor in this episode. Why are jokes that were well received by older generations missing the mark? And if they have no sense of humor, then what is it that Millennials are laughing about anyway? Want to buy buy us a coffee? http://ko-fi.com/koyotetheblind
