The Pagodcast: When Life Feels Like a Question We Can’t Answer
by Mark Jumuad
Before You Choose a Side What shapes our beliefs more: truth, identity, or the need to belong? In this episode of The Pagodcast, we explore the psychology behind our opinions, the power of confirmation bias, the attention economy, and the courage to think independently. This isn't about telling you which side to choose. It's about asking whether we've truly examined the reasons behind the side we've already chosen. Before you choose a side, choose to think.
Ever caught yourself overthinking life and wondering what it all means? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Pagodcast, we’re talking about existential crises—why they happen, how they make us feel drained, and what we can do about them. With insights from philosophers like Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Camus, we’ll break down why we sometimes feel lost, why overanalyzing life can be exhausting, and how to deal with it without getting stuck in endless thoughts. Let’s figure this out together—because questioning life is normal, but maybe we don’t need all the answers right away.
In the very first episode of The Pagodcast, we dive into The Art of Getting Started. Whether you're launching a new project, exploring a passion, or simply trying to take that first step, this episode breaks down the mindset, strategies, and practical tips to overcome hesitation and start strong. Join me as we discuss real-life experiences and insights that can help you move from planning to action.
