We’re all being brainwashed.Show more

It’s happening all around you. All the time, and everywhere. Any time you see an ad, watch a video, read an article, or even glance at the news while you’re on the treadmill at the gym. These things are all designed to evoke a response in your brain to take some kind of action. To buy a product, to get you to click or scroll to the next thing, to stoke your fire of righteous indignation and cast a vote for this politician or that.

Luckily, you can learn to spot the signs of brainwashing, and help yourself and people you care about avoid the big traps. In this episode we identify some of those signs, critique a political model, and discuss a “fresh” new way of getting out of the national debt.
