Hey Podcast listeners, Shankar here. We have an anniversary to celebrate. We've been bringing you Hidden Brain for one year now. We're so glad and thankful you've come along with us, and we've learned a lot about what you like, and a lot about what we like. So now it's time to double down on that with a string of ambitious new episodes. Here's a sneak peek. We'll have moments of danger. I could tell as soon as I had jumped in that it was a weird situation, I felt uncomfortable as soon as I got through the doors.

There was a knife fight, and the friends turned on him. I just saw him walk in, pick up a newspaper, and leave, at which point I screamed, he's outside. Moments of lives changed. Everyone turns out to be pretty interested in what they're doing with their life. And nobody was given a toolkit for how to figure that out. I was raised, you know, right every day,

right 1500 words a day, go to graduate school, and, you know, Twitter gave me back my voice. Moments of shocking coincidence. He's like, oh, you waited on me in Columbus, Ohio, and X-Year, the guy just froze. And he said, yeah, you're right. I think the odds are about 18 septillion to one against it happening. You wouldn't have gotten that scan down when you did

if it hadn't been for the incident. But the incident was truly horrible. Yep. I don't know how to process that. He and me both. As always, we'll give you new ways of seeing the world and ways to rethink the challenges we all face. If you can't do anything about it,

if it's not actionable, it's not a problem. It's a circumstance. And a lot of's not a problem. It's a circumstance. And a lot of people have a problem that isn't a problem. It's just a circumstance. You're saying that this thing that we're relying on to keep ourselves safe, to run security systems at airports and other places, that this is a fundamentally bad system? That is exactly what I'm telling you. It's about interpersonal relationships. You have to be honest and straightforward about what you need and why.

And most importantly, I think you need to be human. Join us starting September 27th.
