Everyone's talking about whether the war on Iran was justified. That's not the most important question The real question is what happens to you, to geopolitics, to society, and to your brain when we go to war, where powerful people publicly demonstrate that the rules don't apply to them. And that logic isn't just confined to Iran. It's the neuroscience of what it does to ordinary people when they watch it happen and it's one of the most important and least discussed stories of what is happening right now in the middle east.

This channel digs into how systems of power shape our identity, behaviour, and beliefs, and how we can shift the stories we tell ourselves and each other about poverty, inequality, and who’s to blame.
