We're taking a ride back to the dawn of left and right handed folk. Where does it come from? Why are we like this? Is there a deeper meaning? Rob's in the know.

Rob's come across the Wim Hof Method, and he's skeptical. Can some fast paced believing really make you immune to the cold? Could be worth a go. Dubious.

Rob couldn't choose between two fascinating topics today, so he's here with both. Running us through the origin of the orange (the word not the fruit), asking which came first? And why don't we call yellow, banana? Always asking the hard questions. Secondly, Rob educates us on the fastest moving ant. Wow.

Rob's talking about the Pavlovian theory this morning, something he's not a huge fan of. From dog food to bells, this marketing technique is one that Rob reckons is just stink. Tune in to find out more about this classic conditioning.

This week on The Mind Trench, we're digging our way through the placebo effect. How does it work? Does it really cure you? Is paracetamol even real? Interesting stuff.

We're coming close to home with a personality trait that it seems more common than you think. Rob's introducing us to the Dunning–Kruger effect, a cognitive bias in which people mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. We're all pretty familiar, right?

Rob's got a light hearted story for us, followed by something that hit him close to home. Talking Lord of the Rings and Greta Thunberg's UN speech which you can watch here. Important words from Rob, as always, this morning.

Rob explores The Mind Trench for money. What does it really mean? Is it really worth anything? Is there any alternative? Rob's breaking down capitalism one step at a time.
