Why You Think the World Is More Dangerous Than It Is

الوصف

Every day, invisible stories shape how you think, without you being aware of them. They affect how you watch sports, how you talk about illness, and even how nations go to war. Psychologists call these stories master narratives. In this video, we explore one of the most powerful master narratives in American culture: the redemption arc. And we find out what happens when reality refuses to follow the script. ____ Hidden Brain, hosted by me, Shankar Vedantam, is finally on YouTube! Like my podcast, this new video series will explore the unconscious patterns driving human behavior, our choices, and our relationships. ____ FIND HIDDEN BRAIN ONLINE Website: https://www.hiddenbrain.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiddenbrain/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiddenBrain/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hiddenbrain.bsky.social X: https://x.com/HiddenBrain LISTEN TO HIDDEN BRAIN ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST APP Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hidden-brain/id1028908750 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/20Gf4IAauFrfj7RBkjcWxh hiddenbrain.org: Patreon/Hidden Brain+: https://www.patreon.com/HiddenBrain https://www.hiddenbrain.org/
