Uncolonized - Episode 19: You Can’t Take It With You
This week on Uncolonized, Gavin Stephens talks about losing his stuff in a fire—and not in a metaphorical, "finding yourself" way. Like, literally. Gone. Every DVD, vinyl, collectible—poof. So now I'm living in the future: a full-on subscription-based model for everything I used to own. Yay capitalism.
I get into what it means to live in a consumer-based society where we don’t own anything anymore—except debt, anxiety, and maybe a Spotify playlist. I also explore the deeper truth that none of this stuff really goes with us when it’s all said and done. Death: the ultimate unsubscribe.
It’s capitalism, it’s comedy, it’s mildly traumatic—but hey, at least it’s ad-free... sort of.
