Listen to the March 30, 2018 episode of the NPR podcast Invisibilia. This podcast, which focuses on the invisible forces that shape human behavior, begins their fourth season by digging into the concept of behavior patterns -- asking if it's possible for us to truly change and to elude behavior patterns that have become ingrained or that we grew up with -- it explore the notion of instinctual behavior and looks at how patterns and assumption of patterns have been used to oppress people, particularly in criminal law. And the podcast ends by urging us all to consider the importance of not being bound by pattern thinking -- as a political project.
