Think Bait

I sat down with Dean Dart to discuss the Neo-Nazi poster incident. Dean was one of the three students suspended for his involvement in the creation of these posters. The posters caused a tremendous uproar due to the Nazi imagery however the cause and purpose of the posters was never revealed due to his speech being censored. On this episode of Think Bait we hear what he has to say.

This week I sit down with Rapture Boy and Ami-lex Amiel from Amiel Entertainment to talk about the state of the modern music industry, the art of collaboration and the personal details that drive our creativity. The music from this episode was all taken from Rapture Boy's album: Two Sides of a Story.    In his own notes, Rapture describes the album My life started in South Africa, Cape Town, growing up in a good area, but having to witness things from a young age from both worlds which I was exposed to. (Two Sides of a Story) is what I would call an explanation of character. Apart from people getting to know me I let them experience my life through rap, telling stories of a kid growing up, divorced parents, step siblings from different areas in Cape Town and their habits. Learning from life and others is what we all should do. This album explains my success and mistakes and what I learned from them. Honesty and being real has made this time doing the album a great experience. I

This is going to be a very controversial and awkward topic but I feel its something that is important to discuss given our increasingly hostile political environment. Its also something that has been on my mind for a while. Today I'm going to speak about race and why I believe that it is a flawed concept. 

Emojis are changing the way we communicate but is this a concern?

This episode is a brief look at why feminism has become so focused on attacking masculinity, and why feminists cannot be blamed for adopting this approach. 

On episode 2, I had a chance to sit down with one of the most interesting and clever individuals, Wesley du Plessis. We talk about many of the social movements that have been a part of the rising identity politics. 

In the primate world, friendships are maintained through the practice of picking fleas and dirt from the fur of other members in the group. Known as social grooming, it's quite literally a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" kind of relationship. Although grooming does serve a hygienic purpose, cleaning the fur and skin of insects and debris, it also solidifies friendships.   Humans also engage in social grooming—doing each other's hair, primping each other's clothes. But according to Dunbar, we've found an easier, more effective way of building and maintaining relationships—idle chit-chat. In other words, for us, gossip serves the same purpose of social network building as does mutual grooming for chimpanzees.
