Aliens, Incentives, and the Secret to a Happy Life

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today's show, we looked at why scientists worry about breaking news about life in space — and why a discovery that sounds exciting could actually create confusion, misinformation, or even global panic if it’s not handled carefully. Today's unpopular opinion was: People don’t lack discipline; they lack meaningful incentives. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something you need for a happy life.
