This week Pete and Tommy dive into the totally and completely grounded world of humility. Why is humility so often misunderstood as self-deprecation? What is it about the cultural and historical shifts in how these concepts are perceived that makes being truly humble so hard?
We begin with a JOURNEY THROUGH TIME (cue the echo), examining how ancient Greek society valued pride over humility and how this perspective flipped with the rise of Christianity. They delve into the role of Jesus Christ's crucifixion in redefining humility as a virtue (which was a BIG DEAL (echo again)), pondering how this transformation occurred so swiftly and profoundly. We also explore secular perspectives, highlighting David Hume's emphasis on modesty and intellectual humility.
Plus, we have another segment of our one-segment gameshow about how we can possibly "eat humble pie" and Pete tries not to humblebrag but he’s just terrible at it … at … not … doing it. Whatever.
