Episode 43: Do We Ever Learn
from The Big Vibe with Tev and Ty Hosted by Tevin & Tyler
The power of the people isn't always cracked up to what we think it is. This week the boys explore the phenomenon of social influence. Why are we so receptive, is there a way out of it and how do we manage it? Ty kicks us off with news of the greatest festival to never happen! That's right, Fyre fest is back and (apparently) bigger than before. And surprise surprise, it's SOLD OUT. We unpack why people still flock to support. Tev breaks down the components that make up social influence. What it is and how to identify the signs. This is before the boys list what they believe to be scams that have become normalized by society. The boys finish off the show with a few top tips to help you practice critical thinking. All that and more in this week's episode of The Big Vibe of Tev and Ty. ---------------------------------------------------- (00:00) Tyler's unshakable values and morals (01:21) Fyre Fest 2.0 baby!
