"Message the show"

Life itself forces us to posit values—this is Nietzsche’s insight, and it’s inescapable. Every desire, every choice, every “yes” and “no” reveals what we truly value. But have you ever questioned the structure of your desires? Have you peeled back the layers of rationalisation to uncover what lies at their core?

In this episode, we undertake a radical investigation into the bedrock of human motivation, exposing the forces that shape our wants, drive our actions, and dictate our sense of meaning. Only in this way can we understand what really drives us, equipping us with knowledge that will enable us to apply ourselves more effectively to achieving fulfilment in life.
