More nuance as we all get older?

I like this podcast a lot. And benefits subscriber. And I certainly support the mission in that it is entertaining and relatable. The one thing I would perhaps critique is that a lot of the perspectives of the podcast is based on the premise that everyone is essentially the same; (the fat part of the bell curve). While this is a valid opinion, it underestimates "why" everyone is the same. So rather than easily dismissing people that choose to be on social media, or dating apps or consume popular media, realize that people that engage with these forms of media are influenced by it and their behavior, actions, and opinions are directly impacted by how they engage with certain forms of media. That is all to say, both hosts are clearly very smart and passionate, but more interesting and nuanced conversations would result from engaging with others. There are very interesting and amazing people and ideas unrelated to dating app ghosting and prepubasent instagram behavior.They have done this sometimes by bringing on Dan Savage or when they tiptoed around the concept of sexual racism with Ronny Chieng. Finally, I feel Jordana has so much to offer. I mean she is the prototype of an accomplished, beautiful, intelligent woman who is navigating relatable life circumstances in a lot of different ways. Her perspective is worth is weight in gold and I feel she takes a back seat.
