I work with a kid who I know listens to JRE often. He’s kind and very smart. What I’ve found is that he lacks confidence and prefers not to speak even when he thinks he has the right answer, for fear of being wrong. He’s depressed, and around this time last year checked himself into a hospital for a week. I know he recently started going to church, likely to try and find answers and support. He seems to mean well. All this to say, listeners of JRE may not be stupid or bad people. Some of them, a lot of them, I’d be willing the guess, are confused young men being brought to bad conclusions because they sound like answers and are wrapped with an “I’m just asking questions,” bow.




Id be willing to bet the entire image is AI. Seems odd to only do those icons, when it’s arguably the easiest part to source of the entire image. Makes me question the validity of the numbers, especially now that I realize there don’t appear to be citations.
