What if some of the things we treat as “real” are actually carefully maintained stories?
In this episode, we dig into social constructs like money, race, genius, leadership and how they shape power and perception. From Einstein’s mythos to Zelensky’s unlikely rise from entertainer to wartime president, we explore where real people end and constructed personas begin. We look at how narratives are built, why societies need them, and how media, institutions, and collective belief can turn ideas into reality. Not conspiracy, just a hard look at how the stories we agree on end up running the world.
