In this 2025 Year-End Wrap-Up episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by a special roundtable featuring Deante Kyle, Jason “Jah” Lee, and JoJo Alonzo for a wide-ranging reflection on the defining political, cultural, and personal moments of 2025. The conversation opens with a sweeping review of the year’s political climate and cultural shifts [00:52], setting the tone for a thoughtful breakdown of how public policy, media narratives, and social movements shaped everyday life.

From there, the panel transitions into personal reflections on navigating 2025 as individuals [03:37], leading into an honest discussion around neurodivergence and identity [04:06], including how language, labels, and self-definition evolved throughout the year [05:22]. The group examines stereotypes and community dynamics [08:03], before unpacking the lasting societal impact of the pandemic [10:15] and how it reshaped ideas around corporate responsibility, humanity, and social justice [11:59].

As the conversation deepens, the hosts challenge modern ideas of victimhood and accountability [13:12], segueing into a critical analysis of celebrity involvement in politics [16:33] and the outsized influence public figures wield within Black communities [18:19]. They discuss the rise of controversial personalities [20:56], emphasizing the urgent need for stronger, more intentional Black voices in media [23:08] and increased investment in Black-owned platforms and storytelling [25:56].

The episode also interrogates celebrity idolization through the lens of figures like Diddy [27:48], expanding into broader conversations around cultural representation in entertainment [30:09], performative allyship [32:00], and the dangers of celebrity worship [34:19]. The panel revisits the complexity of victimhood narratives [36:34], questioning how money, power, and morality intersect in public discourse [39:12].

In the final stretch, the discussion turns toward the future—examining the rapid evolution of AI and technology [41:15], the environmental concerns tied to innovation [46:41], and what these developments mean for humanity moving forward. The episode concludes with reflective final thoughts on lessons learned in 2025 and the importance of individual action, community care, and accountability as society looks ahead [50:22].

This year-end conversation offers a layered, unfiltered look at politics, culture, technology, and identity—cementing Selective Ignorance as a space for critical thought, honest dialogue, and forward-thinking reflection.

Am I Ignorant? Tipping Culture, Birds & Monsters | Bonus Episode

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4b4d8806-2541-4f1e-9477-b3b1001dd048/transcript

In this expansive episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B sits down with super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and Jason “Jah” Lee for a deep, multilayered conversation that bridges culture, technology, ethics, and identity. The episode opens with Mandii’s intro and book promo [00:00] before the crew dives into the evolving intersection of sci-fi and reality [00:54], exploring how futuristic concepts—from AI to virtual identity—are rapidly becoming part of everyday life.

They quickly shift into the impact of celebrity controversies and the algorithm-driven world of social media [02:17], highlighting how online behavior distorts public perception. This leads to a candid exploration of ignorance in social interactions [03:49], examining the blurred lines between intention, offense, and personal accountability.

The discussion broadens into cultural biases and stereotypes [21:25], unpacking how upbringing, environment, and media shape the ways people interpret the world. That conversation sets the stage for a rich breakdown of Apple TV’s Pluribus[31:45], where the group examines its philosophical themes, including collective identity [34:44], the pursuit of happiness [37:39], and the role of suffering in defining human experience [40:11].

As the hosts navigate cultural perspectives and language barriers [42:28], they reflect on autonomy, free will, and the human experience [45:18], tying these concepts to larger societal structures like capitalism versus socialism [48:09]. This flows into a discussion on the ripple effects of individual actions [51:34], especially in relation to convenience, overconsumption, fast fashion, and how happiness often comes with hidden ethical costs [54:38].

The complexity of choice becomes a major theme, as the group unpacks the illusion of choice and the manufactured nature of happiness [01:00:02], eventually highlighting why genuine choice remains essential to humanity [01:02:44].

Race, identity, and internal community dynamics surface next, with an honest conversation about colorism and its impact within the Black community [01:11:55]. From there, the hosts turn to tipping culture and stereotypes [01:17:06], exposing how social expectations shape perceptions of class, service, and respect. That leads to a humorous yet pointed discussion on punctuality [01:23:45], exploring the deeper cultural meanings behind being late—or being on time.

The episode wraps with a reflection on accountability and growth in public discourse [01:28:59], and finally, the complexities of family dynamics, misinformation, and how beliefs evolve over generations [01:37:11].
