What actually are human rights?

Do they come naturally, or are they something we invented? Do they exist to define what it means to be human, or to control how humans behave? Are they legal, moral, or something cosmic? And most importantly… do they even work?

In this week’s episode, I explore what a “human right” really is, how we’re meant to use them, and whether they actually serve the people they claim to protect. With the help of thinkers like Camus, Weil, Arendt, and Giorgio Agamben, we might just discover a better way forward... though it may demand something we’ve all grown a little uneasy with: trust.
