Short Reads Social #10: The Tyranny of Expectations (July 28th)

Short-Read Socials are back! Come meet with like-minded and unlikeminded people to talk about the topic of the month.
---
How does it work?

• The event is casual. You can talk to anyone there with or without our prompt sheets, either about the month's topic or about whatever you want.
• Open philosophical discussion, including for controversial topics, is welcome but be respectful :)
• If you've read/watched/heard anything related to the topic of the month, feel free to bring it in! Not necessarily physically, but you can if you want...
• If not, here are some thought-provoking reads to start you off (read as many or as few as you want):
• The Jackpot Age
• The Particular Misery of College-Admissions TikTok
• Why Tracking Your Symptoms Can Make You Feel Worse
• What Data Can’t Do
• P.S. bypass paywalls here
• Feel free to post other recommendations (blogs, movies, tv episodes, video essays, etc.) in the comments!
