About this listen

Are we truly civilized — or just playing the part? In this episode, we question the very foundation of what we call “civilization.” From pandemic panic to Black Friday brawls, we explore whether our politeness and morals are deeply rooted... or just fragile performances that vanish under pressure.

We dive into philosophy, psychology, and real-world behavior to ask:

  • Is civility natural or trained?
  • What happens to morals when survival takes over?
  • Did COVID-19 reshape how we see and treat each other?
