Listen Later

Could you imagine a world where everyone feels content to be exactly the way they are? It sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? It does sound great, but keep in mind that your favorite brand would most likely go out of business.

Capitalism is fueled by self-hatred. From the moment you exit the womb, you’ve been fed messages encouraging you to hate yourself. How else would they sell you the car note, the consumer credit, and the student debt?

In this episode of Feelings You Can Trust, we discuss the history of eugenics and the “one superior race” theory. We also discuss how to unlearn all this self-hate garbage so that we can get rid of those useless thoughts and make room for new loving thoughts to take their place.
