We’re here! Your favorite down-to-earth newsletter to concisely explain your curiosities, explaining the psychology behind the latest madness.
Are you dying to know why Andrew Tate says the things he does and how that’s a disastrous marketing scheme?
Do you want to learn about the psychology behind “The Great Shift” (a ‘movement’ where south Asians are finally seen as attractive) and how it might be an excuse for cultural appropriation?
Are you curious about the maladaptive daydreaming trend, where everyone seems to forget about the fact that it’s a trauma response? (It’s an actual condition!)
Do you want to know why if anything controversial or morally distraught action or tendency is common enough or done by powerful people, we tend to condone it and how that’s shaped human society as a whole while people blame external factors for it? (That was a mouthful.)
Well, whether you’re looking for a perfect way to spark your next hyper fixation or find the inspiration behind your next research topic, this will be a hub for all things psychology and neuroscience, society and culture, and influence. Every human tendency and action starts at the brain, that’s why it’s important to understand that lump in your head - and others - so you can find peace in the chaos of the world. Every Sunday, there will be a new article about bizarre real-life situations, cultural shifts, societal tendencies and the psychology behind them. Not only that, you’ll also be introduced to a range of new perspectives and psychological theories. You’ll learn how each and everything you see online and in real life shapes the way you see the world. At the end of each article, there will be a link drop, NeuroNote, and a prompt to send you down your next research rabbit hole!
🧷 Link drop: One link to a study, news article, or video about the psychological phenomena discussed in the article.
🧠 "NeuroNote": A one-line brain fact related to the post.
🪞 Reflection prompt: A provocative question for the reader. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
Beyond the pushing and pulling of opinions, this newsletter is simply to teach and foster something we’ve been lacking lately, empathy. For everyone. The first step to understand the “why” instead of simply letting emotion take over. This newsletter is to give you a breath of fresh air.
