Emmet, John, and Canada Mike talk through two pieces: one on the superfluous men of history by Alex Gendler and another about bullshit jobs and people quitting the workforce by John Michael Greer. They talk about the Great Resignation, the strivewave, why men have been historically superluous, incels, and ponder if we need new ways to think of being modern.
