In this episode we look at who you are, or rather who you think you are, and how that can impact your thoughts and actions. We’ll talk about how your brain can use some magic to allow you to do things that go against your core beliefs but somehow keep your identity intact. We’ll also chat about how you probably think your opinion today is the right one… and the one you’ve always had. And we’ll look at how this all affects you and how you might think about others in future. For more content and to support, visit: patreon.com/AllowMeToBeFrank
