In this episode, I explore a simple but uncomfortable truth: modern humans still live with primitive brains. While technology, AI, social media, and financial systems have evolved at breathtaking speed, our neural structure remains largely unchanged from that of early humans. Likes on social media trigger the same reward systems as tribal approval around a campfire. Fear, anger, and anxiety arise faster than reason. By examining brain structure, dopamine, and social behavior, this episode explains why modern life feels overwhelming—and why we so easily fall back into instinctive reactions. Understanding this gap between civilization and biology may be the first step toward regaining control.
