Human Nature vs. Society (Featuring Arash Kolahi)
Human nature hasn't changed much in thousands of years, but society has changed dramatically, especially over the past few centuries. Has society advanced in such a way that it enhances our happiness, or does it detract? Does it bring us together, or does it isolate us? Does it enable us to actualize our potential or does it hinder and stifle our personal and spiritual growth? Of course the answer is somewhere in between, layered with nuance, but let's dive into the philosophy of it all. Here to help us out is Arash Kolahi, who is an economist and social theorist. His research focuses on economic theory, behavioral economics, human nature, psychology, and sociology, so he has a unique perspective from which to assess this very question. This one gets pretty heady, so strap in!
