Summary

Angel Eduardo is a writer, musician, photographer and artist. He and Bridget discuss the discipline of being a professional artist, the moral panic around art these days, self-censorship and the fear of being cancelled, victimhood culture, exercise & discipline, Bridget's ideal super power, why mistakes are like wrapping paper, what to do when you're lost, and the ground we're losing in the equality movement. Angel explains his concept of "star-manning" a way of engaging in discourse with each other that acknowledges a person's point of view and their intentions in a conversation as a means of finding common ground, making them feel heard, and making them more likely to listen to you in return. He believes that most people mean well, and we often lose sight of that fact and depersonalize them in a disagreement, particularly over social media.
