WHY

Are we obsessed with being special?
1

I think this is one of my favourite episodes. I found it fascinating.

Why are we so obsessed with being special? Today, we’re diving into the strange modern urge to define ourselves at all costs. Online, in politics and beyond identity has become our currency. But as the world tilts into climate collapse, A.I. dread, and whatever mess Donald Trump’s cooking up, maybe it’s time to ask: who are we without all the labels?



I’m joined by Alexander Douglas, philosopher and author of Against Identity, to explore why clinging to identity might be doing more harm than good.
