  • Stay Curious and Eat Your Grits & Eggs | Deante Kyle
    May 21 2026

    In this collaboration episode of Curiosity Theory and Grits & Eggs Podcast, Dr. Dakotah Tyler and Justin Shaifer sit down with Deante Kyle and Big Ice Kup Kat for an unfiltered conversation about AI, capitalism, social media, internet culture, and the future of humanity.

    They discuss the rise of artificial intelligence, billionaires and wealth inequality, the psychology of social media addiction, and whether modern technology is actually improving human life. The conversation also dives into online culture, work, relationships, movies, internet misinformation, and the increasingly strange direction society seems to be heading.

    This episode is more explicit and unfiltered than a typical Curiosity Theory episode, but we wanted the conversation to remain authentic and uncensored.

  • The Media Literacy Crisis Is Crisis-ing
    May 6 2026

    Dr. Dakotah Tyler and Justin Shaifer talk through media literacy, scientific literacy, and why people can watch the same piece of content and walk away with completely different interpretations.

    They discuss misunderstood clips, fluoride and the naturalistic fallacy, AI water usage, statistics without context, confirmation bias, AI-generated media, satire, comment sections, and why curiosity has to include the ability to slow down and ask what is actually being said.
