What if the same trust that keeps society working also makes us easy to influence?

This episode looks at how media, politics, and group psychology exploit our wiring for safety and belonging. We explore why anger spreads faster than reason and how outrage cycles erase nuance.

You’ll learn simple ways to spot manipulation, question intent, and stay steady in a world built on emotional triggers. The goal isn’t cynicism, but clarity, high trust in people, and high scrutiny of incentives.

Follow the show, share with a friend, and leave a quick review with one trigger you’ll watch for this week.
