10: Why are people oftentimes behaving irrationally?

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 21:29:09 +0200

The topic of our 10th episode is the question why people seem to behave irrationally oftentimes. Many people do things even though they know this is not going to work out for them in the long run. At the same time there are many people who don't do certain things, even though they know they would be very good for them. We think these are very important questions, worthy of our time.
