This episode, we address one of the biggest myths that drives the hopes and expectations of people in the adult world: the idea that there is a finish line. Power and authority are deeply codified in our culture as something real that can be possessed.  The idea that you can study and work and achieve the secret of this power is one of the ways that we deny our own actual power or authority. One of the wisest fairy tales, "The Emperor's New Clothes," speaks to the dissolution of this myth; that power and authority are not innate, but are an outgrowth of common belief. A cynical, yet liberating lecture.
