Dr. Viktor Frankl said that “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
But is that true? Are our thoughts being hijacked? If so, by whom? And what role are we playing in our own conformity?
In this episode, inspired by Eric Hoffer’s “The True Believer”, me and Tiff discuss the possibility that even people who adamantly insist that they're original thinkers may in reality be imprisoned by their own certainty and identification with ideas that they've not fully examined.
Certainty is the enemy of learning and creativity. Creative expression, openness and diversification may be our best antidote to indoctrination.
We explore these subjects; plus, the worst haircuts we’ve ever had. The most dangerous position you can take is thinking that bad hair can’t happen to you.
Enjoy!
