Think and Unwind with Nathan James
Hosted by Nathan James · EN
What? Why? Who? And many more stupid questions like those about a wide range of topics are terribly explained by me, Nathan James. Should you believe everything I say? No, because I'm just seeking to understand the world just like you. So join me on this journey full of thoughts and BS to just contemplate everything and unwind. Maybe sometimes we'll just relax and tell stories to learn more about each other.

16. Religion
Nov 8, 202000:41:43Tap to summarizeEver wondered about the nature of religion and why it seems that the majority of people on Earth need something to believe in?

Nov 1, 202000:51:29Tap to summarizeEver asked yourself if what you're seeing in front of you is actually there? Or if it's actually different from how you see it?

Transcribe →13. Anxiety Disorder and Depression
Oct 18, 202001:05:01Tap to summarizeMany people use terms such as OCD, Phobic, or depressed for things that really are nowhere near the actual disorder. This is fine in some contexts, but only as long as you actually understand the real thing and how devastating it can be for people who suffer from them. I talk about a multitude of Anxiety Disorders, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder. With some nice examples and details. Hope you guys enjoy!
Transcribe →12. Who Are You Really?
Oct 11, 202000:55:57Tap to summarizeIdentity is a concept that's been increasingly troubling for us. How do we define who we actually are? What makes someone a person? It might seem like a dumb question at first, but it can actually affect our entire society and how we treat other living beings. Hope you guys enjoy!
Transcribe →11. What is the good thing to do?
Oct 4, 202000:49:37Tap to summarizeIs there even a true universal right or wrong? This is a question many great thinkers have tried answering for centuries, so don't expect much from me. Well anyway, here's the episode. Hope you enjoy!
Transcribe →10. Don't Let Politics Divide Us
Sep 27, 202000:48:41Tap to summarizePeople like avoiding discussion about politics with family because they know the power it has to split a household in two. But should we really just avoid it and let it continue to divide society? Why are people so defensive with political opinions and what must we do to advance? I give my view on the matter and my hopes for our future. Hope you enjoy!

I'd appreciate the feedback!

Sep 6, 202000:44:39Tap to summarizeI made a poll and you guys chose this, so here it is. Love is something that everybody experiences at some point, but what is the science behind it? Is love really just a reaction of chemicals? I mean kinda, but there's a bit more to it. So enjoy!
