Episode notes

Are impulsive purchases just filling up a hole in our lives? Are those impulsive moments just to get the rush of a new purchase, the thrill of buying that new object?

“What do you think about people who purchase things because they just like gadgets, but don’t really need the item?”

A very straightforward question sent in by Bobby in Pasadena, California, USA, which leads to an in depth discussion between Stuart and William you co-hosts.

They really dig into what impulse buying is from their own perspectives, and where it potentially comes from, what the motivations are around it could be, and they also touch upon the effect tech has on our daily lives.

This podcast's overall themes are nature, philosophy, climate, the human condition, sustainability, and social justice.
