Did a PGX Ideas episode with Gad Saad. In case you guys aren’t familiar with the format — I take one central question and chase it with the guest. With Gad, I asked: Why do we want what we want? That led us to questions like: - Why humans are wired to consume - Why we over-consume and compare - Why men chase power - How marketing exploits evolutionary instincts - Why people buy ideologies, not just products - And how technology will change human desire itself The Hindi-dubbed AI version is also attached in this thread. Timestamps: 00:00 — Why are humans wired to consume? 05:27 — Why do people avoid emotional principles? 08:36 — Why do we over-consume? 13:04 — Why do men chase power? 17:32 — How do humans consume? 29:40 — Are fake smiles a form of social deception? 33:11 — Why did Mamdani win? 39:40 — What do marketers understand about humans? 43:24 — Why do we buy through comparison? 45:44 — What’s broken in modern society? 48:10 — Why do intellectuals dress poorly? 56:14 — How marketing psychology actually works 1:05:00 — How do generations differ in consumption? 1:07:44 — The Sydney Sweeney controversy 1:10:33 — Does morality shape evolution? 1:15:35 — How will technology change consumption? 1:22:46 — Questions for me
