About this listen
In Episode 6 of Extreme Brains, “When Brains Pretend,” we explore why humans are wired to act, imagine, and play. With guest Craig Clyde—actor, writer, and director—we trace the roots of pretending from early ritual to modern media. We dive into how acting shapes empathy, identity, and society and examine the psychological and evolutionary power of fiction. From cave paintings to AI-generated characters, this episode uncovers how pretending helps us connect, survive, and evolve.
