Today I Learned

Are Humans Fundamentally Individualistic or Collectivistic?


Listen Later

Partly inspired by Pluribus and its philosophical questions, but mostly by the shared experience of living in Malaysia, tonight’s episode attempts to understand whether humans are - at our psychological base - more inclined towards an individualistic way of life, or in the compromise required to live collectively. Is there something inherently ‘Western’ or ‘Asian’ in this way of thinking? Can we change? Eugene Tee joins us to try to unpack it all.
