  • Summary

  • Gurwinder Bhogal is a writer and researcher known for his deep insights into psychology, technology, and the way humans process information. He joins Zuby to share his experiences infiltrating an extremist group in a British town north of London. They dive into the psychology of conservatives and liberals, the balance between IQ and common sense, and why intelligence alone doesn’t guarantee wisdom. They also discuss the West’s shift away from common sense, the rapid rate of change shaping the next 50 years, and the growing divide in humanity’s future.
