Elucidate 68 - G Talk 3

In this episode I carry over a little bit of the last podcast and elucidate further on original thought and choices. I also discuss the contrast of my minimal social media life (A few years ago I was on it constantly) and those around me who use the internet far more than I do. Lastly, I talk about the mass insecurity I've witness and have taken part in when it comes to being a consumer in a consumer based society.
