In this episode of the BJPod, we talk about how everything but our aptitude/interests shaped our career choices. Further, the hosts discussed why they think the STEM graduates in India often lack in critical thinking in comparison to their counterparts in the west. Further, we talk of how the schooling system in India does not encourage questions and out of the box thinking, potentially creating a fertile ground for authoritarianism. Also, we touch upon different ways in which we are fed propaganda during our school days. In the final segment, we discuss the changes we'd like to see in our education system to tackle these challenges.

The hosts apologize if this episode sounds too self-indulgent, or like a therapy session.
