Social Media Detox - Episode 35
Social Media Detox - We're influenced on our daily life by our favourite Social Media Persona. Sometimes so heavily that we don't even realised when we are going out of character. Taking sometime off can make you realise how Toxic and how fake this social media is. Even so, the question to be asked is "Is Social Media even Social ?" We tend to act rude without realising there is a real human with feelings at the other end of the screen.

Better than Plato - Does Pro Black mean Anti-WhiteEpisode 30b
Does Pro Black mean Anti-White ? Malcolm X was an advocate of cultural and social reconstruction until a balance of equality was shared “by any means necessary” - this phrase was often misused, even in todays time. Pro black advocates and activists misuse Malcolm’s words to spread violence and to justify their agenda. Segregation as history shows isn’t productive and doesn’t allow diversity to embrace itself. Not only diversity in race but more importantly diversity in the existence of oneself and the believe systems chosen by the individuals themselves.
