Heather Berlin is a cognitive neuroscientist and Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine.
All humans have a subjective experience of reality, but why? What does it mean that a collection of atoms, arranged into a particular configuration, is able to consider its own existence? How can it dream, reflect and not only be a passenger within its environment but to also become captain of the ship and affect its own destiny?

But what even is therapy and what does it do? Should it only be used by the people who are at the end of their tether? Who is it for? And why is it so stigmatised?

#124 - James Lindsay - Social Justice Explained: The Foundations Of Wokeness
James Lindsay is an author & researcher.
I've been exposed the words Social Justice Warrior, Wokeness and Post Modernism a lot over the last year, but I don't really have a strong grasp on their origins or where they came from.
Thankfully James is the perfect man to explain them to us as he's spent much of his recent career diving head first into the academic literature which underpins these movements. Enjoy.

#120 - Professor Paul Bloom - What Do BDSM & Meditation Have In Common?
Paul Bloom is an author and a Professor of Psychology at Yale.
Why is suffering a cause of pleasure for some people? What do BDSM, being robbed, extreme sports and meditation have in common? How does pleasure work? Why is empathy bad and what is the case for rational compassion? Why do we love people who have died?
One of my favourite conversations this year, do not miss this.
