If you are in an environment where you're constantly told you know guns are bad and people are dying all the time, you're likely to believe that far more people are killed by guns Each Year than are right.
Have you ever wondered why you hold certain beliefs or make specific decisions? In the debut episode of 'Factory Settings', Bridget Phetasy and her co-host, Jeren Montgomery, dive into the concept of 'factory settings'—the built-in biases and assumptions we all carry. Bridget, having waded through the murky waters of culture wars, began to notice how many of her own beliefs were unexamined.
This episode is a deep dive into understanding these default settings and how they shape our worldview without us even realizing it. Bridget and Jeren discuss how our upbringing and culture subtly influence our thoughts and actions. They tackle tough questions about confirmation bias and the challenge of confronting ideas that don't align with our own.
The duo doesn't shy away from discussing the lack of empathy in today's polarized society and why it's so tempting to stick with our 'tribe'. You'll also hear about the importance of exposing yourself to different cultures to broaden your perspective. From personal anecdotes to professional insights, Bridget and Jeren offer a compelling discussion on the importance of self-reflection and the courage it takes to question your default settings.
The episode wraps up with thought-provoking questions like 'What do you believe about yourself?' and 'What do you consider a meaningful life?' These questions are designed to make you think deeply about your own beliefs and motivations. Whether you're interested in politics, mental health, or just curious about why you think the way you do, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the hidden forces shaping your life.
Tune in to 'Factory Settings' and start questioning your own factory settings today.
