Hobby horse

from The Fink Tank Hosted by Cam and Col Fink

People are weird. Our lives of abundance have meant we often feel compelled to satisfy ourselves in illogical ways with our hobbies. Col is three sheds deep into a scientific enquiry into how humans often love buying stuff more than they like having it or using it. This episode is a sprawling ode to that deeply relatable, slightly unhinged truth. Humans have strange and dumb ways of finding joy and distraction in our post-capitalist hellscape of privilege. Also, is anyone out there willing to admit they spent $500 on a pair of running shoes?
