EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Mark Normand and Chris Williamson, Beauty Standards, Twitter & AI Girlfriends - Mark Normand explores comedy, Culture Wars, AI Girlfriends, And Ambient Anxiety In 2023 Chris Williamson and comedian Mark Normand use dark, rapid-fire humor to explore modern culture wars, online outrage, beauty standards, and digital life. They discuss the realities of comedian tour life, concept creep in racism and bigotry, and the rise of contrived corporate ‘woke-washing’ campaigns from brands like Dove, Bud Light, Miller Lite, Nike, and Starbucks. The conversation ranges into social media’s psychological impact, AI girlfriends and bots, ethics around “virtual” harm, and why stand-up comedy may be one of the safest jobs from AI. They close on male–female dynamics, charm as “makeup for men,” safety and decay in New York, and Mark’s new special and tour.
