Sinopsis

Warning: features awesome David Attenborough impression. In this ep, I chat about why it's no surprise that when we are conditioned by what makes money rather than what stimulates our bodies and minds that we end up depressed, achey, and adrift. Minus the pay, why would we sit down for eight hours a day and get a sore back and shit posture? The natural world, and (some) healthy bodily stress makes us happy and makes us feel "alive", which is what our bodies and minds want. Money isn't a part of the natural world, nor part of the evolutionary processes that created our bodies, so the fact it incentivises our behaviour is a faulty North Star.
