5ft.philosophyWhy Do They Make Decisions That Hurt The Public?In this episode of 5ft.philosophy, I question whether the system that claims to serve us is actually working against us.Jobs feel unstable. Healthcare gets tighter. Food support shrinks. Environmental protections roll back. And public health decisions seem more influenced by profit than by people. This episode explores the tension between power and people, policy and reality, language and truth, and profit versus public health. From environmental rollbacks to regulation debates, from addiction to overconsumption, from short-term gain to long-term survival the system keeps asking for more while giving less. If profit depends on people… why make de...

5ft.philosophyI Don't Make Enough Money!In this episode of 5FT. Philosophy, I examine the mindset of “it’s never enough” in a culture built on comparison, consumption, and constant chasing. From athletes and celebrities to everyday people working regular jobs, the finish line keeps moving. The more you make, the more you spend. The higher you climb, the more you compare. This episode explores lifestyle inflation, wealth hoarding, artificial scarcity, and the psychology behind why even people with millions can still feel broke. There are enough resources in this world but the system rewards accumulation, not contentment. Better than some. Worse than others. I keep...

5ft.philosophyIs There Room For You In Their Future?We like to think dystopias are science fiction.Something that happens later.In this episode of 5FT. Philosophy, I break down how that future is already being built quietly, legally, and for profit.Using recent revelations about an AI company’s secret initiative known as Project Panama, this episode looks at how tech elites are extracting culture, labor, and knowledge to fuel artificial intelligence systems without consent or transparency.Millions of books were purchased, destroyed, and scanned to train AI models. We only know because of unsealed court documents....

5ft.philosophyWhy Are We Letting Them Edit History?History doesn’t disappear.It gets edited.In this episode of 5FT. Philosophy, I explore who gets to decide what history remembers and what happens when power controls language, memory, and storytelling.Using George Orwell’s 1984 as a lens, this episode looks at Newspeak, revisionist history, and the quiet removal of uncomfortable truths from public memory. From softened narratives about American founders to the dismantling of slavery exhibits in museums, this is a breakdown of how history is rewritten without being erased.
