In the first part of today’s show, we explored a fascinating question at the heart of human existence: are we ever truly free to make decisions? A new study suggests there may be a universal process in the brain shaping how we choose. Then we turned to the growing phenomenon of hikikomori, asking whether psychological resilience can help prevent extreme social withdrawal.
Today’s unpopular opinion was simple but provocative: independence is overrated.
In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name a situation where dependence is normal.
