The article highlights a podcast called 'Future Makers' that delves into the attitudes of the younger generation in Spain towards societal change and political ideology. During a recent event, the audience was captivated by Leor Zmigrod, a young neuroscientist and psychologist. Zmigrod engaged the crowd with psychological games that revealed how our biology and psychology can predict not just our political beliefs, but also the flexibility of those beliefs in response to new information.

A significant moment of the talk involved a seemingly simple question posed by Zmigrod: "What would you use a cup for?" This question served as a metaphorical tool to classify responses. She explained that people generally fall into two categories: those who think of multiple beverages to fill the cup and those who consider alternative uses, like storing toothbrushes or using it as a planter. This exercise illustrated the broader mindset of individuals—whether they lean towards a more conventional or creative perspective—which indirectly correlates with their political ideology.

The implications of Zmigrod's discussion extend beyond mere academic interest; they suggest that understanding one’s psychological tendencies could play a crucial role in fostering open-mindedness and adaptability in today's polarized political landscape. As young individuals continue to shape the future, recognizing these psychological patterns could help bridge divides and encourage more inclusive dialogue about beliefs and values in society.
