Nautical Knowledge and Nonsense

40. Hell at Sea- The Wreck of the Medusa


Listen Later

THIS EPISODE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN!!

This is, in my opinion, the worst sea disaster ever recorded, and also one of the least known to the general public. I think there are many lessons that can be taken from this event that can help people directly. The madness that occurred on the Wreck of the Medusa can help explain why humans are so easily able to be manipulated, and why we can so easily be turned to violence on one another. At the end of the episode I give practical advice and tips on how to avoid this sort of surprisingly common manipulation.
