User Generated America EP2: Benny via TikTok Live

Benny, a young man from The Poconos in Northeast Pennsylvania, shares his thoughts on philosophy, religion, race, economics and government. His gamer background leads to amazing insights and lessons.

Benny hails from The Pocono Mountains region of Pennsylvania. His diverse background speaks to the great strengths of the United States. I was fortunate enough to have the fates behind the TikTok Live algorithm send him into my stream. You and I are even more fortunate that Benny agreed to stick around for nearly an hour while I interviewed him.

As we do here at We Unite We Win’s User Generated America Podcast, Benny and I had a wide-ranging discussion covering philosophy, religion, culture, billionaire oligarchs, justice, taxes and government. Central to Benny’s approach to life is his belief that each of us knows what it takes to be a good person. He recognizes many of us fail to make the good person mark; however, within each of us is the ability to be good to ourselves and to be good to everyone around us.

Benny is a gamer and creator. He shares some amazing metaphors about what makes a game great over time—fairness, competitiveness, clear rules that everyone has to play by—and how these ideas relate to real life. Most strikingly to me, Benny spells out how game makers absolutely intervene in games to ensure that no one is taking advantage of others and that no one is being taken advantage of over the long-run. He believes there are clear lessons from gaming that we can apply to our economy, government and politics where everyone has a different result while always being in the game.

I know I learned a lot from speaking with Benny. I’m excited to hear what your takeaways are. Enjoy the pod!
