Are we truly civilized — or just playing the part? In this episode, we question the very foundation of what we call “civilization.” From pandemic panic to Black Friday brawls, we explore whether our politeness and morals are deeply rooted... or just fragile performances that vanish under pressure.

We dive into philosophy, psychology, and real-world behavior to ask:

• Is civility natural or trained?
• What happens to morals when survival takes over?
• Did COVID-19 reshape how we see and treat each other?

What if nothing around you is real — not the people, the places, or even your own thoughts? In this episode of Mind Jungle, we dive into the simulation theory: the idea that our reality might be an advanced computer program created by a higher intelligence.

We explore the origins of the theory, the science behind it, recent academic studies, and the eerie parallels with religion, consciousness, and quantum physics. Is there any proof we’re living in a simulation? And if so... does it even matter?

Curiosity meets code in this mind-bending thought experiment.

In this episode, we dive into the ambitious proposal for the Golden Dome, a massive project championed by President Donald Trump. What is the Golden Dome, and how could it reshape America’s landscape, both politically and technologically?

We explore the science and engineering behind this grand vision, the potential costs and funding mechanisms, and the global implications of such a monumental structure. Will this spark a race for similar projects worldwide, or is it just another bold idea?

Tune in for an in-depth discussion on the feasibility, controversy, and long-term effects of the Golden Dome proposal.

Think you’re supporting a local business? Think again. Behind many mom-and-pop shops, indie brands, and neighborhood favorites are the same private equity giants and corporate umbrellas quietly buying everything in sight.

In this episode of Banana Dose, we peel back the illusion of choice in today’s marketplace. From dental offices to pet care chains and beyond, we explore how companies exploit antitrust loopholes to build monopoly power — all while making you believe you're shopping small.

Who really owns your favorite “local” spot? Why don’t regulators step in? And is competition just a story we’ve been sold?

Banana Dose — feeding your mind, one curious thought at a time.

What if you’re only six handshakes away from anyone in the world—your favorite actor, a random monk in Nepal, or even the President? In this mind-bending episode of Planet Monkey, we crack open the truth behind the Six Degrees of Separation theory.

We’ll explore:

• How six steps could connect you to literally anyone 🌎
• The experiments that shocked scientists 📚
• How Facebook, AI, and cosmic webs prove we’re all closer than we think 🧠
• And why your tiniest actions could ripple across the planet like a secret chain reaction 🦋
