Vikas Divyakirti on Relationships, Money, Fame, Cheating & Social Norms | FO435 Raj Shamani
Dr. Vikas Divyakirti, educator, author and founder of Drishti IAS, sits with Raj Shamani for a sweeping conversation on love, marriage, money and fame. He explains why the relationships of people at the very top are almost always broken or single, why cheating is far more common than any data will ever show, and why male loneliness is the bigger epidemic. He opens up about growing up in financial scarcity from 17 to 25 and how it left him unable to spend without vigilance even today, why fatherhood is a cultural rather than natural arrangement, how the contraceptive pill in 1961 quietly rewired marriage, and why his public image as an ideal man is only one side of his personality. A rare, honest look at the biology and sociology underneath modern relationships. (Sponsor: Porter.)
