Jeff Bezos on Taxes, Morning People, and the Lies We Don’t Tell

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at Jeff Bezos saying that the bottom half of earners should pay zero income tax. Then we talked about why some people are naturally morning people, and what an evolutionary biologist says that might reveal about human behaviour.

Four-Day Work Weeks, High School Stress, & The Case for Expiring Marriages

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at new research showing that student well-being often drops after the move to high school and explored why the transition can be so difficult for young people. Then we talked about 15 Australian companies that switched to a four-day workweek and why the experiment worked better than many expected.

Science, Polarisation, and Why Nobody Trusts Politicians

In the first part of today’s show, we explored how teaching the history of science could help students navigate increasingly polarised times and encourage more critical thinking in public debate.

AI Hate, Gen Z University Skepticism, and the Real Secret to Learning Languages

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the growing wave of AI backlash and why some people are beginning to actively resent artificial intelligence. Then we discussed why Gen Z increasingly sees university degrees as “useless,” despite 20 years of data showing that graduates are still the least likely group to be unemployed. Today’s unpopular opinion was: learning a language is mostly about habits, not talent. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name a good habit for learning a foreign language.
