Welcome to exploring reality.
A podcast by two guys on the search for a more objective view on life.
Reality is complex. Whereas science provides us with endless knowledge about nature and ourselves, it's hard to connect all the dots. Why? A big reason is perception. No two people see things the same way.
We discuss the topics that influence our perception, from cognitive biases and thought patterns, to systems thinking and mass psychology.
Each episode we focus on one theme we've found to be significant in our life. We'll dance around this theme by connecting it with personal experiences, global events, and insightful resources. The idea is to provide you with some mental models and enough associations that you can define your own reality for each theme.
