On this episode of Curiosity Theory, Dr. Dakotah Tyler and Justin Shaifer sit down with Hank Green for a wide-ranging, honest conversation about curiosity, consciousness, credibility, and what it means to be human.

We talk about why humans are wired to be curious, how confidence and visibility often replace expertise online, how our brains guide decisions without our awareness, and why losing curiosity can fuel anxiety and dissatisfaction. The conversation weaves through evolution, animal behavior, free will, intelligence, science communication, and the challenge of staying thoughtful in a noisy world.
