À propos de cet audio
Lust is older than love songs, older than Tinder, older than Hollywood scandals, it’s one of the most primal forces driving human behavior. In this episode of Deep Dives Rewired, Charlie and Laura dive into the raw mechanics of lust: why it grips us, how it blurs the line between desire and destruction, and why entire industries are built on exploiting it.
Laura unpacks the biology, from dopamine rushes to evolutionary hardwiring, showing how lust is designed to override logic. Charlie pushes back, asking whether trauma, emptiness, and cultural pressures amplify that hunger into something more dangerous. Together they explore how religion tried to contain it, how advertising feeds it, and how social media makes it impossible to escape.
From ancient myths to modern neuroscience, Charlie and Laura dissect lust as a force that shapes our relationships, culture, and sense of self. The conversation doesn’t just expose the problem, it also asks whether lust can be transformed into something deeper, leading to stronger intimacy and inner peace.
