    EP29 - Freewill & Determinism | جبر و اختیار

    این قسمت رفتیم سراغ یکی از فلسفی‌ترین درگیری‌های ذهنی تاریخ: جبر یا اختیار؟ از فلسفه و فیزیک کوانتوم تا زیست‌شناسی و مغز. و البته که تو هیچکدوم تخصصی نداریم :) با هم گشتیم دنبال اینکه خودمون چطوری به زندگی نگاه می‌کنیم، و اینکه اصلاً این سوال به‌ظاهر تئوریک، چطور توی تصمیم‌های روزمره‌مون دخیل می‌شه.  In this episode, we explored one of the most profound philosophical dilemmas in history: free will vs. determinism. From philosophy and quantum physics to biology and the brain—and of course, we’re not experts in any of them :) Together, we reflected on how we view life, and how this seemingly theoretical question actually shows up in our everyday decisions. 📚Book mentioned: -Free Will by Mark Balaguer Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yekonimpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast@yekonim.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠yekonimpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Intro/outro song: Smile - Ebrahim Monsefi

    EP26 - Patriarchy | مرد سالاری

    ‎توی این قسمت از سه‌گانه محمدرضا، رفتیم سراغ یکی از ریشه‌دارترین ساختارهای اجتماعی: مردسالاری. از تاریخچه‌ش گفتیم، از اینکه چطور مشکلات امروزمون رو شکل داده و حتی چطور خودش به خود مردها هم آسیب میزنه. ولی مهم‌تر از همه، از مسئولیت‌پذیری جامعه مردها در برابر این ساختار حرف زدیم. In this episode of Mohammadreza’s Trilogy, we explored one of the most deep-rooted social structures: Patriarchy. We talked about its history, how it has shaped today’s issues, and even how it harms men themselves. But most importantly, we discussed the responsibility of men in today’s patriarchal world—because real change isn’t possible without it. 📚Books mentioned: -The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls by Mona Eltahawy -The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir The will to change by bell hooksAll About Love: New Visions by bell hooksHalal Sex: The Intimate Lives of Muslim Women in North America by  Sheima Benembarek  ✍️Authors mentioned: -Nawal El Saadawi -Audre Lorde -Angela Davis 🗣️Podcasts mentioned: -The Fifth Floor by Faranak Amidi Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yekonimpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast@yekonim.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠yekonimpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Intro/outro song: Smile - Ebrahim Monsefi

    EP25 - Masculinity | مردانگی

    مردانگی یعنی چی؟ چرا بعضی ویژگی‌ها رو “مردونه” و بعضی رو “زنونه” می‌دونیم؟ اصلاً این مفاهیم طبیعی هستن یا یه چیزیه که جامعه به خوردمون داده؟ تو این قسمت، مردانگی سمی و سالم رو زیر ذره‌بین گذاشتیم، یه کم هم درباره‌ی زنانگی حرف زدیم و سعی کردیم بفهمیم این برچسب‌ها از کجا اومدن و چرا هنوز باهامون هستن. این اپیزود شروع یه سه‌گانه‌ست که تو قسمتای بعدی قراره بریم سراغ مردسالاری و رابطه‌ی ما با پدرانمون. What does masculinity mean? Why are some traits considered “masculine” and others “feminine”? Are these concepts natural, or are they something society has imposed on us? In this episode, we take a closer look at toxic and healthy masculinity, touch on femininity, and explore where these labels come from and why they still shape our lives. This episode is the beginning of a trilogy, with the next ones diving into patriarchy and our relationships with our fathers.
