In this first episode of Long Form, I have the privilege of hosting Ashlea!

Ashlea is a colleague of mine at work with a real interest in human psychology. We often spend countless hours discussing different facets of human psyche, human behavior and try to understand why people do what they do! This is especially pertinent given our work within the criminal justice system!

One of the greatest philosophers of our time, Bertrand Russell, has defined true altruism as ‘acts which promote, directly or indirectly, the well-being of other people'.

In this episode, Ashlea and I delve into what altruism looks like for us and share some of our views about how the rise of social media has perhaps altered intrinsic altruistic behaviors. Oh and we really went off the rail on this episode! ;)
