Episode 263 - How Myths Warp Our Past & Endanger Our Future

As Karen Armstrong writes, "human beings have always been mythmakers." We seek meaning, we seek protection and comfort. But not all myths are created equal. Some myths are incredibly dangerous - they distort and cover up a harsh reality that unless faced, will destroy us. In this tour of the nerdery, Eleanor slides along the spectrum of dangerous myths and offers up some ideas on how we could use acculturation to face the facts and dig up the truth of our past, so that we might build a better future.   artkillingapathy.com
