Why we feel a sudden, irresistible urge to break the rules
In short: From walking on manicured grass to stealing a lick of a friend's ice cream, we all experience the impulse to do something wrong. Psychologist Paul Bloom explores the hidden psychology behind these minor transgressions.
In this talk, Paul Bloom examines the human condition of wanting to do something bad just for the sake of it. Rather than viewing these impulses as purely negative, he suggests that this desire to deviate from the norm can reveal a clever, creative, and beautiful side of our nature, ultimately making the world more unpredictable and fun.
