"Now I'm 18, I'm an adult and I know everything that is best for me.." - Prefrontal Cortex Artwork

On The Peak of Mount Stupid Podcast

In a time when strong opinions are fashionable and pulling other people's views down seems normal, have you ever spent time considering why you think the way you think? On The Peak Of Mount Stupid is a podcast that introduces you to different ways of thinking and areas of philosophy and psychology that could help you to understand your biases and the lenses through which you view the world, all explained in a light-hearted and simple way. The aim isn’t to tell you what to think, but to explore different principles and ways of thinking. The format of the podcast is simple - each week Sam brings a philosophy or area of critical thinking to the table that Andrew doesn’t know about and explains it to him. They talk about it, try to get to grips with it and then try to apply it to day-to-day life.

"Now I'm 18, I'm an adult and I know everything that is best for me.." - Prefrontal Cortex

February 11, 2020 • Sam Hardy and Andrew Stansbury • Season 1 • Episode 5

There has to be an age in which we allow humans to be classed as adults. We all need to learn where we are placed in this world and we all need to learn from and be held accountable for our mistakes at some point. The chosen age in the UK and in may other places is 18, which is a great age, but research shows that our brain is not fully developed until we are in our mid twenties. This research shows that our decision making/ logical brain isn't at full working capacity up until this point and decisions can be predominantly emotionally made before then. Is this a bad thing? Who knows... Listen to Sam and Andrew discuss this topic in more detail and maybe it will help you understand yourself a little bit more.

Episodes are released at 7am on Tuesday mornings.
