In this episode I discuss the nature of the tyrannical soul. The tyrant is lawless in the sense that he is unwilling to submit to any order (in this sense, he tries to live beyond good and evil), and for this reason he becomes enslaved to his own passions. I discuss the notion of creating needs which enslave us (e.g., social media can be experienced as a created need which we feel enslaved to). I also compare the tyrant to Raskolnikov from Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment.
