Rod and Kale are joined by Sean Clifford, proud husband, father of four, and an anti-pornography advocate. He is CEO of Canopy, a company dedicated to the safety of families and children amidst the scourge of online pornography.
We discuss why many parents and leaders are not equipped to deal with the hyper-novelty of what Sean calls "new porn." In other words, this is not your fathers stash of girlie magazines. High def, ubiquitous, and easy access video porn is everywhere, and it has its design on our attention and ultimately our souls.
Sean talks about the ratchet effect, and the way in which new porn shapes your desires and dominates your attention. The science on online porn use is clear, and many are suffering.
They go on to talk about the "failure to launch" many young men are facing, and what possible role porn plays.
Are we equipped to deal with hyper-novelty in the virtual/sexual realm?
Sean has launched a company called Canopy.us, and the impressive AI they deploy to work with families struggling to utilize the good of technology, without the filth. Check it out.
