This week we start out with what our minds have led us to believe is a 120% accurate exploration of the evolution of self-deception.

Your MUMsters of Ceremony™ consider how the ability to deceive and detect deception in others has shaped how we systematically deceive ourselves in testable ways.

They laugh about how new insights can unlock an embarrassing cascade of memories that lead to beautifully cringey epiphanies. Crying can feel like a drug, but don't get hooked... forcing that much-needed cry is perhaps the second most awkward therapeutic release.

Ramin informs Shane that not everyone naps in a terrifying fractal swamp of rejuvenation. And finally, the MUMsters™ hope that going to see Tony Robbins while on acid will help build their MUMpire.
