Clive de Carle | Big Pharma, Natural Cures, & The Sickness Conspiracy
Pharmaceutical Influence, Hip-Hop Trends and Medical Incentives
The host reflects on the perverse incentives of the capitalist medical system, comparing it to planned obsolescence in manufacturing. A trend in modern hip-hop music is noted, where lyrics have shifted from cannabis to pharmaceutical pills like Xanax and Percocet, effectively acting as advertisements for Big Pharma. Artists like Post Malone are cited as examples of this cultural shift toward glamorizing prescription drug use.
