  • Summary

  • Vienna, Austria.

    What makes us fall for easy solutions in a complicated world? In this episode, I explore the rise of populism with the case of the US in mind, the isolation of modern society, and how it's trying to hold on from anything simplistic to make sense of it.

    Drawing from personal reflections, political observations, and philosophical insights, this episode dives into how loneliness and frustration lead us to trust ideas, leaders, or promises that often fall short.

    This is not just about politics—it’s about us, our inner struggles, and the stories we tell ourselves.
