Join me as I explore the psychological and social mechanisms that make it so difficult to question the ideas we hold dear. We’ll delve into new research on screen time, touch on the ever-controversial topic of politics, and discuss the dangers of clinging to outdated beliefs.

Let’s embark on a journey of intellectual humility and discover the profound transformation from reassessing and understanding our beliefs. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages critical thinking and self-reflection.
