In the first part of today’s show, we explored the idea that your smartphone may be more of a parasite than a tool, at least from an evolutionary standpoint. Then we looked at a bizarre but fascinating study that claims standing next to uglier people can make you seem not just more attractive, but also more trustworthy.
Today’s unpopular opinion was: Participation trophies are good for kids’ self-esteem.
In the show’s second half, we asked 100 humans to name something they learned at school that turned out to be totally useless.
