What If You've Never Had a Single Original Thought?

Right now, you think you are thinking. You feel the spark of something new forming in your mind — and it feels like yours. But what if every idea you have ever had was borrowed, assembled from pieces you absorbed before you were old enough to question any of it? In this video, you'll discover what neuroscientist Uri Hasson found when he watched two brains sync in real time, why psychologist Lev Vygotsky believed thought is social before it is ever individual, and what anthropologist Joseph Henrich's decades of research reveal about how little of what you believe you actually chose. The answer will change the way you think about thinking — permanently. If this made your brain do something strange, hit like and subscribe.
