The last episode of 2020 is here! Zubair introduces the idea of intellectual bubbles, and wonders how they affect our perception of the world and our identities. We investigate the forces that pull people into bubbles and, conversely, what drives us to break out of them. We refer back to conversational blackholes from Ep.09 and suspect that incompatible bubbles may be the underlying cause. On the other hand, we explore the benefits of having a constellation of bubbles and combining them to forge new ones. Finally, we look at bubbles gone bad: echo chambers and intellectual shells.

A discussion about debates.

unfocus is a podcast between two friends discussing social psychology, the human condition, and the structures that make up everyday living. As we like to say, sit back, have a cup of chai, and unfocus!
