Should you delete Instagram or learn how to use it better?
The debate around Instagram has become intense. Rising teen anxiety, sleep disruption, body image pressures, addictive doomscrolling, and the sharp spike in mental health issues since 2012 have led many to call it toxic. Some even argue it should be banned in schools. But that’s only one side of the story.
For millions of young people, Instagram is where friendships deepen, creativity flourishes, communities form, and careers quietly begin. It’s a portfolio, a classroom, a networking platform, and sometimes even a launchpad all in one app. So what’s really happening? Is Instagram the problem? Or is unmindful use the real issue? This conversation moves beyond outrage and defensiveness. It explores data, psychology, parental fears, teenage realities, algorithm control, doomscrolling vs connection, and what responsible use actually looks like.
Because maybe the real question isn’t “Delete Instagram?”
It’s “Are we mature enough to handle it?”

The Economic Survey of India 2025 - 2026 has taken a serious look at a question many people casually debate. Why do Indians behave abroad but not in India? Why is the metro clean and disciplined while city buses in the same city feel chaotic often used by the same people?Does this mean the issue will finally be resolved?According to the Survey, the problem is not awareness. Swachh Bharat had sustained communication, funding support and public participation. The problem is not values either. Indians are deeply committed to cleanliness inside their homes. In fact, the gap between private cleanliness and public disorder may be among the highest anywhere.The real issue, the Survey argues, is inconsistent enforcement, unclear penalties and weak institutional design.Using concepts from behavioral economics, coordination failures, Schelling Points and the Prisoner’s Dilemma, this episode explains why metro systems create disciplined behavior while bus systems struggle. It is not about culture. It is about credible enforcement, system reliability, identity formation and governance capacity.

What if Raam is actually your ancestor but you don’t have a single gene from him? What if a mother can fail her own child’s DNA test, identical twins don’t have perfectly identical DNA, and your family tree explodes to the size of the entire world in just a few dozen generations?
This episode dives into the deeply unintuitive world of DNA, ancestry, and heredity where math breaks our common sense and biology refuses to behave the way we expect. We explore real court cases where women were accused of fraud because genetics said they weren’t their own children’s mothers, the strange reality of chimeras, and why being someone’s ancestor doesn’t guarantee you inherit anything from them.
And yes we directly tackle the big question:
Was Raam really your ancestor?
Not as a matter of faith or belief, but using population mathematics, genetic inheritance, and historical constraints. By the end, you’ll know what science can (and cannot) say about that claim and why the answer is far more subtle than a simple yes or no.
Along the way, we bust popular myths about ancestry tests, explain why family trees collapse into each other over time, and show how identity, heritage, and genetics are far more complicated than “who your genes came from.” This isn’t about proving mythology right or wrong. It’s about understanding how science reframes ancient questions and why intuition often gets it wrong.
