My name is Ricardo Lopes, and I’m from Portugal. Thank you for visiting my podcast.
Over the past few years, I have conducted and released more than 900 interviews and talks with experts and academics from a variety of areas and disciplines, ranging from the Arts and Philosophy to the Social Sciences and Biology. You will certainly find a subject of your interest covered here.
New interviews are released on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays.


Themes and summary (AI-generated based on podcaster-provided show and episode descriptions):

➤ Interviews with experts • Evolutionary psychology • Philosophy and ethics • Social sciences • Human behavior and cognition • Religion and society • Science and technology • Politics and history

This podcast, hosted by Ricardo Lopes, offers an expansive exploration of multidisciplinary intellectual discourse through interviews and discussions with experts from diverse fields. The episodes delve into topics ranging from evolutionary psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience, to social sciences and environmental studies. Many episodes focus on how evolutionary principles apply to human behavior, personality, and society, examining themes like personality adaptation, social status dynamics, and the biocultural evolution of religion.

A significant number of discussions center around the intersection of science and society, analyzing the role of neuroscience in understanding morality and cognition, and the societal implications of technological advancements and data quantification. Philosophical topics frequently surface, with explorations into understanding causality, moral responsibility, and the critique of established epistemological norms.

Additional episodes probe into the dynamics of human societies, touching on issues like democracy, economic inequality, and the historical evolution of political ideologies. There's a consistent focus on the psychological aspects of human behavior, including emotion regulation, decision-making, and the quest for happiness and well-being throughout life.

The podcast also highlights scientific approaches to understanding culture, religion, and history, often from an evolutionary or psychological perspective, and explores their implications for contemporary society. By presenting a blend of scientific inquiry and philosophical debate, the podcast invites listeners to reflect on complex themes, encouraging a deeper understanding of human nature and societal development. Each episode serves as a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, contributing to a broader conversation about the forces shaping individual and collective existence.
