Episode 1: The Biological Limits of the Human Mind

This episode explores one of the fundamental underpinnings of psychology: the brain.

While our society has changed massively in the last 10,000 years (or even the last 500 years), our brains have not had time to catch up.

You and I are equipped with a tool that – while wonderfully sculpted by evolution to thrive and reproduce in the world of hunter-gatherers – is riddled with shortcuts and processing errors that can manifest in mistakes, calamities, and all around terrible decisions.
