674 - Stew for Demons (10/24/22)
Added 2022-10-25 03:23:18 +0000 UTCIt’s Halloween season so we’re taking a look at the increasing amount terror many Americans are now experiencing previously-benign concepts like “school” and “voting.” We also take a look at the “retvrn” type traditionalists, and how the fantasy of what they want to “retvrn” to so badly keeps getting more and more recent.
We are going to do a CALL-IN show in the next week or so. Email us an audio question of NO LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS to calls@chapotraphouse.com by end of day 10/25/22 and we may answer it on an upcoming episode.
Finally, last few days to grab your tickets to Ft. Lauderdale. This show is ALMOST sold out so buy while you still can. Three big acts, Donzii, [STAND-UP NAME REDACTED] and of course us at Chapo. Tix here: https://www.jointherevolution.net/concerts/chapo-trap-house/

2022-10-30 06:39:33 +0000 UTCI didn't have a smartphone until I was 30. I had no friends, got lost a lot, read a lot of books, and believed in myself and other people. I still believe in myself, but less so, and certainly less in others.

2022-10-28 21:35:22 +0000 UTCHave you ever heard of the Citations Needed podcast? bc you need a citation for that shit you makin up lol
2022-10-28 19:56:14 +0000 UTCWell I’d say the reason the “social” aspect is important here is because the internet, and instant access to social media through your phone is a very unique SOCIAL invention so yes it will have and has had profound social impacts (Take a hit everytime you read social)
2022-10-28 18:41:37 +0000 UTCMore hobo content please.

2022-10-28 11:46:54 +0000 UTCPeople bemoaning the social ills of new tech aren't always wrong. And there's a difference between a tool being available and a reconfiguring of society around everyone being dependent on that tool. Cars were widely opposed on the grounds that they were killing a lot of people and coopting a lot of public space. Whatever the use of a car in an individual situation, I think it's pretty safe to say that reconfiguring our society around car ownership was pretty bad for the people in the society and the cohesiveness of that society. Likewise smartphones are, sometimes, the right tool for a given task, but reconfiguring society around everyone having a smartphone and routing so much social interaction through it has pretty clearly been bad. It's been 15 years of them, we kinda know what the effects have been by now.

2022-10-27 20:16:29 +0000 UTCthe problem with the witchcraft believers is like Will was saying about the crime on the subway: it's lower than it used to be but it seems to be on the *up*, which is not supposed to happen

2022-10-27 17:22:42 +0000 UTCif you mean physical effects, sure, there's not really any way to know and we're all just guinea pigs. if you mean "social" effects, people said the same thing about literally every technological advancement in human history and if anything i'd say 20% of people believing in ghosts and demons is probably better than the 90% that believed in ghosts and demons before industrialization

2022-10-27 17:16:56 +0000 UTCSmartphones are to us what cigarettes were to people in the 50s. We are only barely aware of the damage caused by chronic constant.
2022-10-27 17:06:12 +0000 UTCfelix moved to Los Angeles and he doesn't have a driving license, no wonder he's freaking out about loneliness
etienne
2022-10-27 14:57:30 +0000 UTCgod damn what is with felix and this 70-year-old man "put ur dang dumb-phones away kids" stuff lately. there were just as many, probably more, morons who believed in secret satanic cults and demons and magic in this country 40 years ago as now

2022-10-26 16:18:53 +0000 UTCAC/DC means “all children deceive Christ” so all you ROCKERS out there in the school hallways better watch out cuz HELLS BELLS will be ringing in your ears throughout eternity or at least until 2024. KISS on tour one last time? If you head down to the local skate rink or rock hall you’ll just be another KID IN SATAN’s SERVICE, so have fun washing the devils balls throughout the hereafter or until 2024.
