Control: The Reason behind Wars and Colonialism

Control: The Reason behind Wars and Colonialism

Every war ever fought. Every empire ever built. Every colony ever established. Behind all of it lies a single, deeply human instinct - the need to persist, influence, and control. In this episode of Know Man's Land, we unpack the psychological and evolutionary roots of this behaviour, understand why uncertainty is humanity's greatest fear, and examine how this trait has shaped, and continues to shape the world we live in today.
