Tonight’s Topic: Are You in Control, or Is Your Brain Controlling You? (Part 2): A Conversation w/ neuroscientist Heather Berlin

What really drives the choices you make—your conscious will, or powerful processes running beneath awareness? In the second hour of our two-part series with neuroscientist Heather Berlin, we’ll dive into the latest research on the subconscious and how it shapes behavior moment to moment. From automaticity and habit loops to the “illusion of control,” we’ll explore how much of life is steered by preconscious brain activity—and when our conscious mind can step in.

Through vivid cases—sleepwalking and parasomnias, anesthesia and the edge of awareness, competitive strategy and game theory—we’ll examine the brain’s hidden playbook and its shortcuts for survival. You’ll leave with practical tools for decision hygiene: how to build a pause between impulse and action, strengthen metacognition, and design environments that help your better intentions win.

‘Fentanyl Capitalism’: How Tech Venture Capital Is Eating the World In this explosive episode of the Nerd Reich Podcast, host Gil Duran sits down with Catherine Bracey, founder of Tech Equity Collaborative and author of “World Eaters: How Venture Capital Is Cannibalizing the Economy.” Together they unpack “fentanyl capitalism”—the idea that if capitalism is heroin, venture capital is its far more potent and dangerous form. From the whaling origins of VC to blitzscaling, MAGA politics, and Silicon Valley’s god complex, Bracy explains how tech’s obsession with unicorns, power laws, and exits is warping innovation, democracy, and faith itself.
