Is the Internet Killing Us... Softly? Deep-Dive Discussion

Love, discipline, community, joy, optimism... To those of us who are older, these feel fleeting. To the younger folks? Perhaps nothing more than surreal fairytales in movies or old TV shows.

Krystal and Saagar deep-dive into a shocking study on their Youtube news channel, Breaking Points: Viral Chart EXPOSES Internet Fueled Personality Destruction and, in my opinion, provide a pretty solid discussion based on their own observations and study.

You can skim the study by data journalist John Burn-Murdoch here: https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/collapsing-conscientiousness. He uncovered a harrowing decline in the personality trait of Conscientiousness, which describes the ability to plan, maintain focus, follow-thru and remain disciplined. And this effect is strongest amongst Gen Z and Millennials!

What to Expect
This will be group deep-dive discussion followed by plenty of organic social time. Let’s make it a goal to connect deeply with as many people as possible! I challenge each one of you to learn the names of anyone you speak to and try to remember something interesting about them. I don't want to hear "I'm bad with names."; choose to be better!

Your food and drink choices are up to you. I will do my best to facilitate and make sure everyone is connected and gets to know each other.
