About this listen

Is anyone truly good—or are we all just one bad situation away from crossing the line?

In this gripping episode, we unravel the tangled web of human morality and ask: what really separates good from evil? Dive into the infamous Lucifer effect and the shocking lessons of the Stanford Prison Experiment, where ordinary people became villains under the right (or wrong) circumstances. Discover how authority figures, toxic group dynamics, and unchecked vices can twist even the best intentions, leading to bullying, violence, and moral decline.

We’ll challenge everything you think you know about ethics, exploring how situational influences—not just personality—shape our choices. With real-life stories, controversial experiments, and a dash of dark humor, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Would I do the same?”

Stay tuned till the end for practical tips on protecting your moral compass in a world full of pressure.
