#2 - The Psychology of Brexit

In this episode we discuss the psychology of Brexit and ponder the question, “Why can’t we communicate?”. We talk about what Locke from Lost has got to do with Brexit, what evolution has to say about our behaviour, and why one side (literally) sees the forest while the other sees the trees. Can we learn anything about politics from personality traits and the psychology of group behaviour? We get into it over a bottle of gin in another episode of Abstracts. *** For all references used in the episode please head to: www.abstractspodcast.com ** Media Coffee by Cambo (Theme) https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Cambo/~/Coffee_1919 BBC – Dimbleby Annouces Result https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqAk4iGcARw Guardian News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RJwuqNGbKk DW News Brexit Prepping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFNsQfVx8bk Boris Johnson We want to do a deal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivj5XG0y8sI
