David R. Samson - Redefining Tribalism for Good: Discussing 'Our Tribal Future' | STM Podcast #185

On episode 185, we welcome David Samson to discuss our current understanding of how tribes form, tribalism as political polarization, why the Bloodline storyline in the WWE is so popular, why some of the smartest people are also the most irrational, the consequences of our tendency to prioritize group loyalty over truth, the label of ‘critical thinker’ and why it’s another cognitive trap, our tendency to favor broader groups over those closest to us, what to do when you’re loyal to opposing groups, how group pride both supports self-esteem and conflict, and the role of mental immunity in combatting the toxic aspects of the tribal drive.
David Samson is an Associate Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Toronto and Director of the Sleep and Human Evolution Lab (SHEL). David’s research has been internationally profiled in venues such as BBC, Time, the New York Times, The Smithsonian, CBC, NPR, and National Geographic.

Reviews for "The Radiant Magician: A Journey through the History of Magic"

1. Jennifer - 2/5 stars - I found "Magical Radiant Magician" to be incredibly boring and predictable. The plot was unengaging, and the characters felt one-dimensional. There were no surprises or twists to keep me interested, and the dialogue felt stiff and unnatural. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating magical story.

2. Robert - 1/5 stars - "Magical Radiant Magician" was a complete waste of time for me. The story was poorly developed and lacked any creativity. The worldbuilding was minimal, and I found it hard to imagine myself in the magical setting. The characters were forgettable and lacked depth, making it impossible for me to connect with them. I struggled to finish this book and was left feeling unsatisfied with its lackluster plot and execution.

3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Magical Radiant Magician," but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the story dragged on without much excitement. The magical elements felt forced and underdeveloped, leaving me unimpressed. Additionally, the writing style was dull and lacked any sense of charm or uniqueness. While some may appreciate this book, it didn't capture my attention or offer anything memorable.

4. Michael - 2/5 stars - "Magical Radiant Magician" was an average read, at best. The plot felt cliché and didn't offer anything new to the fantasy genre. The protagonist was a typical chosen one with predictable character development, and the supporting characters were forgettable. The magical system was poorly explained, leaving me confused and disengaged. Overall, it was a mediocre book that didn't leave a lasting impression on me.

5. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I couldn't bring myself to finish "Magical Radiant Magician". The writing was disjointed, and the pacing was all over the place. It was challenging to follow the plot due to inconsistent storytelling and lack of clarity. The characters felt like cardboard cutouts, and I struggled to connect with any of them. As a fan of fantasy novels, this was a major disappointment for me.
