Description

We are told that success is earned, that effort leads to reward, and that free will shapes our destiny. But what if meritocracy and free will are just comforting myths — narratives designed to preserve social order and justify inequality? In this episode, we explore the philosophical, psychological, and economic roots of these illusions, tracing how modern societies transformed moral ideals into convenient fictions. A dissection of belief, bias, and the invisible mechanisms that keep the system running.
