Welcome to exploring reality.
A podcast by two guys on the search for a more objective view on life.
Reality is complex. Whereas science provides us with endless knowledge about nature and ourselves, it's hard to connect all the dots. Why? A big reason is perception. No two people see things the same way.
We discuss the topics that influence our perception, from cognitive biases and thought patterns, to systems thinking and mass psychology.
Each episode we focus on one theme we've found to be significant in our life. We'll dance around this theme by connecting it with personal experiences, global events, and insightful resources. The idea is to provide you with some mental models and enough associations that you can define your own reality for each theme.
Entrepreneurship is a gladiator sport and with it comes many trials and tribulations. Beirem and Kosta walk through some of the highlights and lowlights of their entrepreneurial journey and discuss some of the lessons they have learnt in their journey.

#5 - How News & Social Media Affect Us
The news has become a merchant of chaos, drip-feeding cortisol (and sometimes dopamine) non stop 24 hours a day. Beirem and Kosta discuss the origins of the news, how fits into the evolutionary biology and the role social media has started playing in all this as well.
