Aflevering Home Is Where The Zeitgeist Lives

In this AI-generated episode, two hosts explore the cultural undercurrent shaping how we live, build, and protect our homes. Drawing from the insights of zeitgeist expert Niels Hansen, they reveal how housing is far more than bricks and beams; it’s a mirror of our collective mindset. Why are we quietly fortifying our homes, even when anxiety isn’t visible? What does the shift from openness to control reveal about our trust in the world and in each other? And how does this subtle form of unease shape the way we design, inhabit, and secure our private spaces? This episode unpacks four cultural mindsets: Mi Casa Su Casa, No Place Like Home, The Twilight Zone, and My House is My Castle, and highlights a deeper question for architects, builders, designers, and policymakers alike: do we give people what they ask for, or what they truly need? A sharp, intimate journey into home, trust, safety and the hidden psychology of walls.
