52. The End (Kinda) | Thinkin' Bros Podcast

🧠 Thinkin’ Bros Podcast is hosted by intellectual phenomena Alex and Chris. We make psychology and philosophy accessible through informal discussions and try to find ways to use these disciplines to enhance our everyday lives. 👉 In this season 2 finale, we discuss Plato's "The Apology". Although not an apology at all, Socrates defends himself in front of the Athenian court in his usual masterful way. His argumentative skills are unmatched and seem to check every box of a modern debate club specialist. Despite the 2000-year difference, it seems like politics haven't changed much, and persuasion seems to overshadow truth in this dialogue as well. P.S. Thanks to everyone who supported us during this journey. This is not an ending, but a break that will make us come back more skillful than ever. Your constructive feedback has been a major reason for our progress, but now that we've plateaued, we will take some time off to break through it.

51. Me No Know Virtue | Thinkin' Bros Podcast

🧠 Thinkin’ Bros Podcast is hosted by intellectual phenomena Alex and Chris. We make psychology and philosophy accessible through informal discussions and try to find ways to use these disciplines to enhance our everyday lives. 👉 We discuss Plato's "Meno", a dialogue on virtue. After somewhat determining what virtue is, Socrates moves on to determining whether virtue is innate, can be taught, or something else. Despite Plato's many peculiarities and rich ideas, such as the theory of forms and the distinction between true opinion and knowledge, we believe we did a good job at deciphering the point of the book. 🤔 “Figured it Out” rating: 8/10 Do you agree with our conclusions? 🌐 Website: https://thinkinbros.com 📧 Email: thinkinbros@gmail.com ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkinBros/featured 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ThinkinBros 🕺 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thinkinbros 🐥 X: https://www.twitter.com/thinkinbros *Note that none of the introductory clips actually refer to Thinkin’ Bros Podcast.

50. Passions Within Reason 2 | Thinkin' Bros Podcast

🧠 Thinkin’ Bros Podcast is hosted by intellectual phenomena Alex and Chris. We make psychology and philosophy accessible through informal discussions and try to find ways to use these disciplines to enhance our everyday lives. 👉 We discuss Robert H. Frank's "Passions Within Reason: The Strategic Role of Emotions". As stated last week, this book gives us an economist's perspective on the role of emotion in optimal decision-making (which can often not be solved through rationality). This is the second and last episode of a two-part series. 🤔 “Figured it Out” rating: 8/10 Do you agree with our conclusions? 🌐 Website: https://thinkinbros.com 📧 Email: thinkinbros@gmail.com ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkinBros/featured 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ThinkinBros 🕺 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thinkinbros 🐥 X: https://www.twitter.com/thinkinbros *Note that none of the introductory clips actually refer to Thinkin’ Bros Podcast.

🧠 Thinkin’ Bros Podcast is hosted by intellectual phenomena Alex and Chris. We make psychology and philosophy accessible through informal discussions and try to find ways to use these disciplines to enhance our everyday lives. 👉 We discuss Robert H. Frank's "Passions Within Reason: The Strategic Role of Emotions". This book is a Very Bad Wizards favorite, so we could not miss it. Frank is a professor of economics, and gives us a look into the interplay between reason and emotion on an interpersonal and societal scale. To illustrate his points, he gives various thought experiments, evolutionary pathways, and mathematical frameworks, which makes his work very holistic and straightforward. Easy to understand, rich and with a deep point. This is the first episode of a two-part series. P.S. Sorry for the bad audio, we had to improvise. 🤔 “Figured it Out” rating: ?/10 Do you agree with our conclusions? 🌐 Website: https://thinkinbros.com 📧 Email: thinkinbros@gmail.com ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkinBros/featured 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ThinkinBros 🕺 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thinkinbros 🐥 X: https://www.twitter.com/thinkinbros *Note that none of the introductory clips actually refer to Thinkin’ Bros Podcast.

48. I Wonder if the Joke Will Land | Thinkin' Bros Podcast

🧠 Thinkin’ Bros Podcast is hosted by intellectual phenomena Alex and Chris. We make psychology and philosophy accessible through informal discussions and try to find ways to use these disciplines to enhance our everyday lives. 👉 We look into the rich but confusing work of Lewis Carroll. "Alice in the Wonderland" has become a classic, and it seems well-deserved. But is its message any good? How does the story influence children? What can be extracted from it for adults? Are the disturbing elements about Carroll relevant to the interpretation of the story? All of this is discussed in the episode! 🤔 “Figured it Out” rating: 6/10 Do you agree with our conclusions? 🌐 Website: https://thinkinbros.com 📧 Email: thinkinbros@gmail.com ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkinBros/featured 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ThinkinBros 🕺 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thinkinbros 🐥 X: https://www.twitter.com/thinkinbros *Note that none of the introductory clips actually refer to Thinkin’ Bros Podcast.
