  • virtue signalling, moral superiority and cost
    Aug 23 2026
    It's easy to call out virtue signalling or performative activism but what if is more nuanced and deeper than that?

  • assimilation, belonging + us vs them
    Sep 20 2026
    new ep is about how assimilation isn't actually a switch (integrated or not) — it's more like a dial you're turning all day without even clocking it. pulling in some genuinely wild research + getting into why that hits different here in Aotearoa specifically. also getting into why "us vs them" thinking kind of falls apart once you actually look at how identity really works, and who even gets to choose where their dial sits vs who doesn't.
