Episode notes

The modern way of living has turned assets into liabilities, causing bitterness, conflict with distant individuals, spreading misinformation leading to indoctrination, and distraction from personal goals.

Our bodies have evolved for continuous movement, yet we spend most of our time indoors in a sedentary position, which leads to negative impacts on our circulatory systems created for active movement.

Gurwinder Bhogal is a programmer and a writer.

Gurwinder is one of my favourite Twitter follows. He’s written yet another megathread exploring human nature, cognitive biases, mental models, status games, crowd behaviour and social media. It's fantastic, and today we go through some of my favourites.

Expect to learn why every debate is fundamentally an argument about the definition of words, whether modern men are right to believe they would be better off living in medieval times, why people fighting injustice might actually be suffering with an identity crisis, why so many people go shopping for their opinions online, how the culture divide we have today stemmed from our tribal roots, why over analysing Tweets is a waste of your time and much more...
