Why Do We Participate?

Why do we spend so much time criticizing certain things… while also giving them enormous amounts of attention?In this episode, Matti explores the strange contradiction behind the way humans participate in culture. We roll our eyes at celebrity events, mock award shows, question trends, and hear endless horror stories about cruises… and yet we still don't avoid them.Together, we unpack some of the psychology behind outrage, spectacle, social participation, and the very human need to feel connected to the conversation happening around us.And along the way, maybe we gain a little more understanding — not just about culture, but about each other.
