Hello and welcome to a solo edition of Ask Me Anything of I Way with

Jamele podcast against shame.

I hope you're well.

I am all right.

I'm traveling at the moment, so that's why I don't have a guest,

but I'm going to do my best to answer your personal and wonderful questions today.

Kicking off with a very light-hearted, how do you think culture has shifted post-Covid?

I think the way in which it's improved is that we have developed more awareness because the world stopped moving so fast and we had time to actually think about things properly and start to learn more about ourselves and the world.

And I think a lot of us changed our valley systems because we

realized that we were just in this, I think a lot of us realized anyway that we've been in this rat

race and what if everything just ends tomorrow? What if we all just die from this terrible new virus?

Have we lived our lives properly or have we spent our entire lives at work waiting until we're dead or retired to rest. And so loads of people left

their big jobs and moved out to the countryside and started growing their own vegetables and

living more holistically. Other people became more grateful and aware of their health. So I think that was good. However, I also feel as though COVID brought about hyper-individualism because we were in lockdown we were isolated from each other we were on our own

we were spending far too much time online social media algorithms are designed to be

divisive and to pull us apart and to stoke outrage. Outrage is what you know

travels the fastest. It used to be sex that would sell but now it's outrage that

really sells and I think it created a monster within our society a real beast.

I think that we became the most tribal I have ever seen us in my lifetime.

I'm sure there have been more tribal periods throughout history, but in the 30-something

years that I've been alive, I have never seen people behave this way. It became very us versus them,

whether it was the vaccine or whether it was the masks or any of these things.
