Reclaiming Power and Agency When Everyone's Depressed (with David Storey)
Another engaging riff with David Storey, Boston College philosophy professor and Spartan Race athlete. This time I take center stage. We explore why Americans are collectively depressed, why Democrats ignore power politics, why turning off phones and turning toward each other feels great, and how all of this is related. I make a case for phone-free schools. Dave helps me see even bigger benefits. We get political. We get personal. We refuse to give advice or answer the question, "What should the average person do?" **Key takeaways** 11:00 Feeling bottled up?

Six Ideas for Democrats Who Have Not Given Up
In this five-minute episode of How My View Grew, I offer six ideas for Democrats and Never-Trumpers who haven't given up: Doing something is better than doing nothing. We're lousy at predicting the outcomes of our actions. The 2026 mid-terms are super-important. Winning in 2026 requires two distinct tasks. Dems and Never Trumpers need a new mood. Biden-to-Trump voters need permission structures, not shaming. **Subscribe to the podcast** To hear the origin stories of more big ideas, subscribe to How My View Grew on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts. **Share the love** Leave me a rating or review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Status Differences Matter
Status differences, real and perceived, and the resentment that comes with them. Republicans use them to fire up voters and win elections. Democrats largely ignore them. To regain power and reverse the authoritarian tide, Democrats will need to take status differences seriously.
