b'We discuss Royal Duty versus self interest. Megan is apparently suffering from anxiety and trauma. We look at just how common trauma really is an reveal some startling statistics that suggest modern daily life is not suited to humans. We are anachronisms in a society of our own making. Andy posits it is as simple as making choices. Theo explains that as humans very little of what we do and the decisions we make in daily life are under our conscious control partly because almost all decisions are emotional so that voting reflects not what people think but what they feel and secondly because we are hard wired to respond to structure and authority and therefore not only are we easily led but we seek leadership. In fact generally most people do not want to and cannot think. We discuss how a lot of modern psychology is fundamentally flawed and how we can all start taking control.'
