Living on Autopilot: How Programming Shapes Our Choices
Manage episode 480991256 series 3556206
In this solo episode, Tim Salmans reflects on the idea of programming and conditioning—how the habits, beliefs, and responses we carry often come from the environments we’ve grown up in or the systems we’re part of. He shares personal thoughts on decision-making, marketing tactics, and how people often react automatically, especially in charged topics like politics or religion.
Tim also draws an interesting comparison between human behavior and algorithms, encouraging listeners to notice the patterns they follow without thinking. It's not about judgment, but about becoming more aware of how and why we respond the way we do.
The episode is a reminder to check in with yourself, stay present, and notice where your choices are truly yours—and where they might just be part of an old routine.

- What programming and conditioning really mean
