Summary

Yannis Pappas delivers a sharp, hilarious rant on how data has a way of dismantling our perceptions and deeply held beliefs, while most people would still rather cling to a good story. He riffs on how we’re conditioned from childhood, first through the stories our parents tell us, and then through the narratives we continue to absorb as adults. With his signature mix of humor and insight, he offers condolences to laid-off tech workers before diving into what the data actually reveals about capitalism versus communism. He caps it off with a compelling breakdown of Poland’s rapid transformation into an economic powerhouse in just one generation, using it as a real-world case study that challenges popular narratives.
