EP29 - Freewill & Determinism | جبر و اختیار
این قسمت رفتیم سراغ یکی از فلسفیترین درگیریهای ذهنی تاریخ: جبر یا اختیار؟
از فلسفه و فیزیک کوانتوم تا زیستشناسی و مغز. و البته که تو هیچکدوم تخصصی نداریم :)
با هم گشتیم دنبال اینکه خودمون چطوری به زندگی نگاه میکنیم، و اینکه اصلاً این سوال بهظاهر تئوریک، چطور توی تصمیمهای روزمرهمون دخیل میشه.
In this episode, we explored one of the most profound philosophical dilemmas in history: free will vs. determinism.
From philosophy and quantum physics to biology and the brain—and of course, we’re not experts in any of them :)
Together, we reflected on how we view life, and how this seemingly theoretical question actually shows up in our everyday decisions.

EP28 - Rise of Nerds | ظهور نردها
از ریشهی کلمهی نرد و اینکه چطور یه زمانی مسخره میشد، ولی الان شده نماد باهوش بودن و حتی باحال بودن. همچنین دربارهی اینکه چطور کامیونیتی نردها میتونه برای ما «یک و نیمیها» حس تعلق بسازه گپ میزنیم.
We talk about where the word nerd even comes from, how it went from being an insult to a badge of honor—and even coolness.
We also explore how nerd communities have created a sense of belonging, especially for us 1.5-generation kids who’ve often felt like outsiders. If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one obsessed with “weird” stuff, this one’s for you.
