Who is truly responsible when tragedy strikes due to online content? Join Deacon Mike Hayes and Father Damian Ference as they tackle the heartbreaking case of a 10-year-old girl who lost her life after attempting a dangerous "blackout challenge" she saw on TikTok.
We dissect the moral and ethical implications for content creators and platforms alike, drawing parallels to the provocations of MTV's "Jackass." Leaning on the teachings of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we scrutinize how ignorance, duress, and fear influence moral culpability. This episode navigates the treacherous waters between freedom of speech and the urgent need for ethical guidelines in today's digital landscape.
On a lighter yet equally important note, we explore the transformative power of saying "no" and prioritizing what truly matters in life. Personal stories illuminate the importance of morning prayers, exercise, and building genuine friendships, while highlighting how teaching offers intellectual and creative satisfaction. Discover practical strategies for setting boundaries and organizing your life to protect personal time and well-being.
