Volatile Times With Daniel

"I don't trust anyone. I don't think I can trust again". Many of us have been here (including myself). Some have conquered this, and some of us are still dealing with it. But the statement got me into a spiral of questions: What is Trust? What factors motivate trust? etc. In a series of upcoming episodes including this one, we'll explore the concept of trust to better understand it, and how we rel...

A rhetoric that commonly surrounds anti-lgbt content and personalities is the idea that their existence is of existential threat and danger to children. I have found that this is just one of the reasons we give ourselves to justify the dehumanization of those we consider "other". Homosexuality is a sin, but sins are still committed by humans. ----------------------------- Social Media and donation...

Every day men are out here living their life, each as complex yet simple as the next person.

Masculinity like many other things today is complex, with a lot of nuances and idiocy to it. This episode focuses on one of those idiocies. The concept of the alpha male as regards modern men is a phenomenon that has been plaguing the internet for almost a decade. Let's dive in and explore a bit, what the concept of the alpha male is. PS: talking about this was mentally exhausting ----------------...

Cutting people off is one of the social phenomena of the 21st century. It's the go-to self-love advice for solving problems and taking control of your life, except it isn't. It's mostly just immature garbage, and we're here for it. --------------- (tags: ghosting, cutting off, toxic vibes, scissors) ---------------- Social Media Handles: Instagram: @danielbriggz Twitter: @danielBri...

The "if you don't love me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" mantra is well justified, but sometimes is not so final as we assume it to be.

Okay, this is a hear me out episode, but an important one, I think. It's all bout men's hair in this episode, our perception, prejudice and judgment of it. Join me as I go on this journey of exploring men, masculinity and its suppression through the policing of hair. ---------------- (tags: hair, black hair, colonialism, men matter, men's hair, EndSars) That article about the morality...

As a finale to the ongoing series on Romance, go on this auditory journey with me as we talk about our e(x)s and what marriage vows should be like. Headphones and the like, deeply recommended.

The idea of settling currently in our society is very controversial for not so obvious reasons. In this episode, the conversation with Rita revolves around the question "Should we settle or we have no choice but to settle?".

This is the second part in an ongoing series about Romance. In this episode, Daniel goes through various romantic beliefs about how we're supposed to love, and also how Beauty and the Beast is Trash! Enjoy. ^Content focus by Alain de Botton - https://youtu.be/sPOuIyEJnbE^.

We all have our encounters with romance and the romantic. Directly or indirectly. But what inspired our modern approach to love and romance? ^Content focus by Alain de Botton^ Romanticsm by Alain De Botton

Every African child (I think) has had that faithful encounter with dear 'ol cane. Our view of what it means to discipline a child is weirdly broken (in my opinion). So, listen to me rant on and on about it. But there are gems here, tho!

According to google, Useless means (informal) having no ability or skill in a specified activity or area, and yeah I'm going to have to agree with that. But here's another thing, that still doesn't change the absolute feeling of shittiness that accompanies it most of the time, so let's address that.

Happy Fathers Day. I bet this isn't something that's gonna ring loud in a lot of households on June 20, 2021. Why? Because most people won't even realize it's Fathers Day and this, is just sad. Fathers are a very controversial bunch, to be honest, but one other thing they are is a sacrificial bunch. Fathers are not unneeded, Fathers are ESSENTIAL to parenting, and I just wish they&...

FREEDOM! Such a broad term that sometimes I wonder why we use it. But, in today's episode, I simply give my thoughts on how I think it should be defined and approached in life.

In a world riddled with identity politics and community-centric ideas, more people are looking to be identified outside the groups we find ourselves in. To be identified as ourselves first, before any attachments. ------ Follow on Instagram: instagram.com/volatilewithdaniel Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/danielBriggz Visit the website for newsletter and more: msha.ke/volatiletimes

Have you ever had something nice done to or for you by a total stranger? Was it a strange experience the few times you've experienced it, as it was for me? I think it's something special, beyond normal, when it happens. Have you ever been that Stranger?

The phrase "I know my value," like any other well-meaning phrase, has been used to justify pride, ignorance, and even as an insecurity cover. I and Tobou discuss how value is a subjective thing, especially if it's to have monetary profit.

Nowadays, an ordinary life is akin to a cosmic sin. The demand for greatness on everyone is taxing, and even small gestures of goodness are deemed to be not enough; you need to do MORE. DON'T FORGET TO SHARE.

"We're all a little narcissistic," Psychology says as it laughs in our faces. In previous episodes, it's established that to develop oneself is to embark on a selfish crusade. But what if that crusade turns sour? Well, here's something to help you watch out for that and maintain balance, especially as we all embark on a New Year's journey. Happy New Year, by the way.

Yes o, finally made it to the end of season 1 of this podcast. Truly and truly, it's been an amazing time, but now it's time to rest a bit and come back later
