0:57Now PlayingIn this video, we explore what happens when truth, grief, and money collide in the modern media age.
Candace Owens’ recent claims about Charlie Kirk — accusing him of “loving money” while declaring she would “burn everything down for proof” — reveal more than just a feud. They expose a deeper tension between moral conviction and monetized performance, between truth-seeking and algorithmic reward.
Through a philosophical lens, we’ll unpack the psychology of projection, moral superiority, and the tragedy of posthumous reputation in the digital age.
🔍 Topics we cover:
The psychology of moral performance
How grief and outrage become content
The role of algorithms in shaping public truth
The ethics of speaking for the dead
What it means to tell the truth when truth itself is profitable
🎧 This is not a gossip piece, it’s a reflection on our culture’s relationship with truth, attention, and authenticity.
