Why We Hate People Like Us | Modern Art, Picasso, and the Struggles We All Face

Good Afternoon Planet Earth With Dominic Leonelli and Amy Jans

In this episode of Good Afternoon Planet Earth, we dive into the complexities of human behavior, unpacking why we sometimes dislike people who remind us of ourselves. We explore how comparison shapes our perceptions, the dangers of playing the victim, and why we often romanticize struggle in ways that aren't helpful.

We also take a critical look at modern art and question whether it’s truly artistic expression or just a product of consumerism. Plus, we discuss Picasso’s early works and how he evolved as one of history's greatest artists—sometimes starting from humble beginnings.

Join us as we reflect on self-awareness, the impact of surrounding ourselves with positivity, and the absurdities of modern life. If you're looking for a dose of introspection, a critique of societal norms, and a bit of fun along the way, this episode is for you.
