    How can I recognise a narcissistic pervert?
    Jun 30 2026
    The concept of the narcissistic pervert has invaded our screens and magazines in recent years. It's used a lot, but sometimes wrongly or without full understanding. So what is it really about? The term was first defined in 1986 by French psychoanalyst Paul-Claude Racamier. He said that narcissistic perverts have a prevailing need to boost their own self-esteem at the expense of others, and actually take pleasure from doing so. What actually is a narcissistic pervert? Aren't we all a little like that? What makes narcissistic perverts different? Are narcissistic perverts dangerous to be around? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What is the Golem effect?

    What is the Golem effect?
    Jun 30 2026
    Not long ago we talked about the Pygmalion effect in an episode of Do You Really Know? Well today’s subject is pretty much the exact opposite! The Golem effect is the idea that negative words or assumptions can influence behaviours and transform those assumptions into reality. It’s another type of self-fulfilling prophecy, which sees lower expectations lead to poorer performance and behaviour in individuals. And just like the Pygmalion effect, the term was also coined by Robert Rosenthal, this time in a 1982 paper after having conducted research along with Elisha Babad and Jacob Inbar. The name comes from Jewish folklore, and more specifically the tale of the Golem of Prague. What are the main areas in which the Golem effect can be observed ? What about in relationships?How can we overcome the Golem effect? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

    Jun 30 2026
    Ageing is part of the natural cycle of life, and there’s no such thing as a miracle pill to prevent it. At least not yet ! Nevertheless, it is still possible to delay the effects of this process through a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition. No doubt you’ve already heard of the benefits of regular physical activity, getting enough sleep and giving up cigarettes or alcohol. But generally speaking, you should prioritise foods that are rich in antioxidants. The term "antioxidants" includes certain vitamins, trace elements, and micronutrients found in large quantities in fruit and vegetables, for example. What foods should we be focusing on ? Where can you find antioxidants in abundance ? What about drinks? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

  • How is AI being used in the legal system?

    How is AI being used in the legal system?
    Jun 29 2026
    ChatGPT has been invading all walks of life in recent months, and that even includes the justice system. In late March 2023, a Pakistani judge consulted the chatbot before granting bail to a 13 year old boy who stood accused of kidnapping and attempting to rape a 9 year old. According to Pakistan Observer, the judge asked ChatGPT the following initial question: ““Can a juvenile suspect in Pakistan, who is 13 years old, be granted bail after arrest?” The chatbot responded: “Under the Juvenile Justice System Act 2018, according to section 12, the court can grant bail on certain conditions.” A discussion then ensued on how this option could be interpreted when taking into account certain other laws. The judge included ChatGPT’s responses in his judgement and stated how impressed he was. The cases have led to hope that AI could help make legal systems around the world more efficient, but there’s been a lot of criticism and skepticism too. Are there any other examples aside from ChatGPT ? What are the possible risks then?

    What is Neo-Luddism, the growing anti-technology movement?
    Jun 28 2026
    In today’s ultra-connected society, more and more technologies are emerging all the time, and they’re getting increasingly advanced. Just look at how far AI has come in recent times, and the attention it’s been getting since the launch of ChatGPT. In many ways, it’s difficult to not use technology. To not do so would be like cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world. But still, it’s not to everyone’s liking. Some people resent the influence that some forms of technology have on our society, and want to reject them. They are known as neo-Luddites. Where does the name come from? Could AI have the same impact? And today, how is Neo-Luddism exemplified? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
