Is Canada choosing assisted death over disabled lives? The Breach Show · Episode

"Medical assistance in dying has radically transformed every way in which we view disability and chronic illness, along with pain and suffering of any form." Canadian #sociology PhD student Megan Linton discusses the impact on disabled people and other who might become ill

Schwalbe nails why sociology faces such political hostility: we teach people to see power structures, inequality, and social construction of "common sense." That's exactly what authoritarians fear most - citizens who can critically analyze society. #sociology #AcademicSky

Are You Suffering From Future Shock? (Alvin Toffler) Think about the single biggest source of anxiety in your life right now. What if the root cause isn't what is happening to you, but how fast it’s happening? Today, we crack open Alvin Toffler's legendary 1970 book Future Shock to diagnose the exact psycho-biological condition modern society is battling. We break down the mind-bending '800th Lifetime' concept and the framework of transience to explain why human beings feel completely overwhelmed by the premature arrival of the future. Enjoyed this? Upgrade to Momentum Premium for the full 20-minute masterclass. We’ll deconstruct Microsoft's brilliant corporate survival strategy, reveal Toffler’s biggest missed prediction about human resilience, and give you the actionable frameworks to build a psychological immune system against the chaos of modern change.
