It's a thrilling story that many of you may be able to relate to, about a young man living overseas who finds his way into an online community where all is not what it seems.\nIt's an examination about what happens when you take appealing, but bad ideas to the extreme, how we all get lost in our screens, kick around more dangerous ideas than we're willing to own up to, and what the consequences of that might be in our connected age.\nIn our conversation we discussed:\nThe origins of CONTENT, where the main character Jason came from, and how the story took shape\nHis personal journey as a writer, and how interests in previous eras of his life fused together into his newest work\nThe difference between art and entertainment, enchantment and spectacle, as demonstrated by the Marvel Cinematic Universe\nAnd the essential, and often forgotten role the arts have to play in bringing us together, along with other questions of philosophy\nIt seems in many ways that men these days compete to see how many books they can read, sometimes up to 50 a year. I've read my fair share, that's for sure.\nBut CONTENT? That one will stay with me. Once you listen to MT White, I think you'll understand why.\nLINKS\nPurchase CONTENT on Amazon\nFollow MT White on Twitter\nFollow Punch Riot on Twitter\nPunchRiot.com\nTom Wolfe \u2013 \u201cThe Bonfire of the Vanities\u201d\nNikolai Chernyshevsky \u2013 \u201cWhat Is To Be Done?\u201d\nEric Weber \u2013 \u201cHow To Pick Up Girls?\u201d\nUnderworld \u2013 \u201cBorn Slippy\u201d\nSPONSOR\nI've partnered with Derek Arellano of Volition Training to create a new fitness transformation program exclusively for Renaissance of Men Listeners:\nVolition Renaissance\nhttp://volitiontraining.com/renofmen\nIt's a 12-week, all-encompassing program to create your physical rebirth, from two men passionate about masculine personal development, and physical prowess.\nIt includes not just technological support, customization, and weekly check-ins, but a direct line to former Top-10 US Bodybuilder Derek Arellano.\nVisit: https://volitiontraining.com/renofmen to learn more, and sign up today.\nTHE RENAISSANCE OF MEN\nCheck out my website at https://renofmen.com\nConnect with us on Instagram and Twitter.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/077d5416-18ed-4332-a23d-bbdca2b970df/j_NeNa4rnItxJ1OYds7sRGv3.jpg"}
