Lucky and Unlucky Days — When Time Itself Feels Cursed
This episode explores humanity’s fascination with lucky and unlucky days, from Friday the 13th and the fear of the number 4 to the celebration of the number 8 and auspicious dates. It explains how psychological mechanisms like pattern perception, confirmation bias, and the illusion of control lead people to assign meaning to random dates and events. The episode shows how culture, religion, and emotion shape our relationship with time, turning calendars into systems of hope and caution. Ultimately, it concludes that superstition about time isn’t about the days themselves—but about the stories we attach to them.
