True to Your Self

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

Why do we, as humans, have a sense of self? One new theory is that a "self" actually contributes to a stronger and more robust group dynamic. In order for a group to be more capable of surviving, it needs to be made up of specialized individuals who are drawn to disparate tasks. Anthony and Jeff selflessly tackle this subject, and try to figure out if being one is better for the many. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
