Elder Obsolete

Elders Obsolete explores what happens when a society built on progress forgets the people who carried it here. From ancient civilizations where elders were honored as living libraries of wisdom to today’s families struggling to care for aging parents, this episode examines how we’ve shifted from reverence to neglect. We’ll look at the rising costs of elder care, the commercialization of death itself, and what it would take to reclaim dignity for our elders and for ourselves.
