Dive down the rabbit hole as we ask, “What is reality?” and reveal why everyone lives in a personal “reality bubble.” This philosophical redpill (no manosphere nonsense) breaks down how social-media algorithms, filter bubbles, echo chambers, upbringing, trauma and confirmation bias plug us into unique versions of the Matrix. You’ll see how mainstream vs. alternative news craft conflicting narratives, fuelling polarization, anxiety and doom-scrolling and why even offline friends and family inhabit totally different worlds.
More importantly, the episode shows practical hacks to shape your own reality: curate a healthier information diet, seek diverse perspectives, practice mindful media consumption, use humor as a coping tool and build positive hobbies that boost mental health.
