Sinopsis
In this episode, I discuss how we like to protect our sense of self by shutting down, or questioning, actions of those that go against the grain. If we've bought into a certain lifestyle / narrative / capitalist paradigm, then those who go against that can seem to be a threat to the "sense" of our own lives and our sense of self-narrative, and so it seems rational to question their decisions. But perhaps this is just an ego self-defence mechanism, and one that, ultimately, benefits the rich and powerful.
