Why are MBTI types on LinkedIn bios and why are people proud of them? Why do consultants love putting everything into a 2x2? And what exactly do we do with a SWOT analysis once it’s made? In this episode, we tear into some of the most overhyped, oversimplified, and overused business theories; from the Myers-Briggs cult to Maslow’s misunderstood pyramid, the 10,000-hour myth, and the classic consultant trap of “strategic-looking nonsense.” Also, a frog gets eaten. Sort of (Only metaphorically, we assure you). It’s an episode for anyone who’s ever considered doing a SWOT analysis for their life and then did nothing about it.  Important links:1.

Don't Know, Do Care

Don't know who's buying this bullshit (business theories edition)!

In this episode, we share the weirdest info we could find; the kind that make you go “Wait, what?” and then proceed to ruin your entire day. But given that it's Monday, are we really ruining it any more than it already is? Be honest with yourself.  From the original use of chainsaws (brace yourself) to poop particles on your toothbrush, zombie fungi, cows with regional accents (yes, we tried some), and frogs getting married for rain, it’s a slippery slope of fun, filth, folklore, and fuckaboutery. You won’t be the same again (or you might, no promises either way). And neither will your mattress (Get your mid out of the gutter, you filthy pig). Don’t Know, Do Care is the brainchild of Ashmita, Sandy, and Prakhar, three friends from different backgrounds and interests. Ashmita works in sustainability, Sandy's an entrepreneur (puke) who’d rather not be, and Prakhar works with Sandy and is just trying to make sense of it all.  Three mildly confused friends, one weirdly specific topic each week.

Don’t know how to feel about this info!

Why does every YouTube thumbnail look like it’s mid-panic attack?Why do we spend more time scrolling than actually watching anything?Why is this even a topic that we want to talk about? (Don't listen in case you'd rather suffer in silence) In this episode, we dive into the chaotic world of clickbait faces, screaming thumbnails, and the science (yes, science) behind YouTube’s attention trap. We talk about the paradox of choice, limbic system hijacking (sounds pretty serious, probably isn't), and why your brain can’t resist a face screaming “I lost everything in 24 hours.” Come for the thumbnails, stay for the amygdala! P.S: Also stay to learn WTF is the amygdala.

Don’t know why YouTube screams at us!

In our first-ever episode (debut in French), we try to figure out what the hell carbon lock-in is, and why it feels like we’re stuck in an escape room powered by coal and every other fossil fuel imaginable. We talk about fossil fuel inertia, why solar panels aren’t the saviours we hoped for, and how even clean energy has a dirty side (not the kind we like). There’s also some mild existential dread, questionable facts about purple being the colour of surprise, and at least one shoutout to Jeff Bezos. If you’ve ever asked “Wait, are we… screwed?” - this one’s for you. If it's any consolation, don’t worry, we don’t know either. But we do care. Sort of. Important links:1.

Curious minds welcome, clueless takes guaranteed! Don’t Know, Do Care is a curious mix of comedy, commentary, and casually intense learning. Every episode, one of us brings a topic the others know nothing about and tries to "educate" them, just enough for them to feign interest. Do we learn anything? Absolutely not. Do we care about the topic? Probably not. Are we curious, though? Potentially yes. We're not experts by any stretch of our already stretched imagination, but we're just trying to get a bit smarter, one strange question at a time. Curiosity might have killed a cat, but will it kill us? Only time will tell. Join us on our journey to learn something you didn’t know you cared about.
