0:00Coming up next on the Jordan Harbinger Show.

0:03If you were to summarize all of behavioral science over the last hundred years, it's basically that we make a tiny fraction of our decisions for ourselves.

0:10The vast majority of the time we're making decisions on autopilot.

0:14These companies are like, oh, we can prey on people's instincts.

0:17Are we going to use it to empower the best parts of being human, that tiny sliver of us, the cool part of being human?

0:24Or are we going to try and make money off of the instinctive stuff, the tribalism and all of the instinctive stuff that we've spent literally 200,000 years trying to get away from?

0:38Welcome to the show.
