Episode 2127 | The Peacock Paradox: Beauty or Instinct?

18 Nov 2025

Description

In this episode, our group dives into the strange but fascinating world of peacocks and what their dramatic feathers reveal about beauty, attraction, and choice in nature. We explore how biology explains the purpose of the peacock’s display, how psychology interprets preference and decision-making in animals, and how philosophy tries to understand what “beauty” even means. Along the way, we question whether beauty is instinct, illusion, or a shared experience across species. Our discussion connects animal behavior to human behavior in surprising and relatable ways. Join us as we break down science, challenge assumptions, and uncover why something as simple as a feather can spark such a big conversation.
