#29 - Deconstructing "It Was Better Before" - Pt. 1
Update: 2025-09-18
Description
Do you ever think music was better in the past, or that people were more polite when you were younger? You're not alone. Today, we're exploring "The Architecture of Nostalgia"—why our brains are wired to believe things were better before, even when they probably weren't.
I'm Alice, and joining me is Marc, a sociologist who studies how we construct meaning from our experiences. Together, we'll uncover why every generation thinks the next one will destroy civilization, how our minds edit memories like sentimental film editors, and why this beautiful human tendency can sometimes be exploited.
Prepare to question your most cherished assumptions about the good old days.
