Episode 70: Most People Don’t Think for Themselves (Here’s Why)

from Zero Distortion with Russ Bates · host batesruss3

Most people believe they think independently. They don’t. Human beings are wired to conform—to fit in, to belong, to avoid standing out. And most of the time, we don’t even realize we’re doing it. From groupthink to social media echo chambers to politics, conformity shapes how people think, act, and make decisions more than they’d ever admit. So ask yourself this: Do you actually believe what you believe… or are you just following the crowd?
