About this episode
Corruption is bad, right? If people were to only stay true to who they are, the world would be better... wouldn't it? Though I've argued this very point in the past, the truth is that this viewpoint - though correct under a certain reference frame - is actually incomplete.If you really think about it, any socio-cultural affects on our personality are essentially corruption to our "true selves". You can imagine if one were to grow up in purgatory how different one's perspective, thoughts, etc. would be. In no way am I implying this is a bad thing - indeed, some corruption is actually required. Why? It's all explained here, in this podcast episode. Learn more about your ad choices.
