Have you heard of the government’s Nudge Unit? It’s a department that applies behavioral science to subtly influence our decisions and steer us toward actions they prefer.

Find out more with my interview with David Halpern.

lol, fuck governments.

That’s Orwellian

good old industrial psychology

Great episode! I side more with your view how this can lead to a slippery slope, but enjoyed hearing David's perspective and learning how policy's like this are put into practice. 🫡

Happy New Year, Peter! Great interview and such essential info!

As usual, you let this parasite get away with a lot of rubbish propaganda regarding #markets.

The #gangsterment distorts ALL markets by distorting the cost of money, taxes(including inflation) and legal tender "laws".

They foist their fake money on everyone, then brainwash about markets being inefficient, when their manipulated, self-serving money is half of every economic transaction!😡

Did I miss you mentioning that at some point?

Is there a difference to normal advertisement? Besides the goal, nudging us for different behaviour while most ads want us to to improve the image of a company and someday buy something?

Linktree link did not work.

Peter, have you heard of Rory Sutherland? Would be a great guest for your new show imo. Expert on behavioral science and a great speaker.

Can put you in touch if you’re interested.
