Description

This podcast tries to go behind some of the problems and silly things that are keeping us from making the world better, and living better lives.

We’ll explore the hidden, invisible and often unexpected structures and peculiar drivers shaping our world. Revealing deeper mechanisms, and underlying and sometimes surprising forces that you didn’t even think had a role to play.

This podcast will be your weekly dose of new and fresh perspectives, insight, thought experiments and hopefully new ways of looking at the world.

I will take you through psychology, philosophy, common sense, science insight, the baffling quirks of human nature, statistics, peculiar combinations and overlaps, odd facts and new ways of seeing things - and of course the occasional sanity check. In order to reach the invisible causes behind the curtain of what is actually wrong with this place?
