Everybody Wants to Rule the World — The Philosophy Hidden in an ’80s Classic
In this episode of The Daily Morningcast, Alex breaks down the deeper meaning behind Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.”
It’s more than an ’80s hit — it’s a philosophical meditation on control, choice, and the freedom that comes from letting go.
We explore how the song echoes Stoic wisdom, Buddhist non-attachment, and the modern struggle to stop chasing certainty.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to manage every outcome, this episode offers a grounded reminder: you don’t have to rule the world — just your own inner one.
