The origins of Delphi reveal an ancient mountain with a shameful past that's difficult to swallow. These stories go beyond mythology, erasing the borders of sanity and morality.Long before the orderly rise of Apollo, a feral psyche clung to the cliffs of Parnassus, practicing the chaotic magic of Dionysus.Today's episode uncovers the raw, forgotten pre-history of the Oracle of Delphi. We will strip away the layers of bureaucracy, wealth, and politics to explore the primal environment that birthed the world's most famous sanctuary.
Did you know the U.S. Military invades foreign soil every 1.7 years and it loses nearly every time. Violence is our soil's chief export. The Department of Defense is the nation's largest employer.

The self-domestication of man can be blamed on language. It also gave us morality. Looking at the work of anthropologist Richard Wrangham we see a 300,000 year long pruning of our species by a majoritarian coalition who conspired against the alpha-males and the cheaters of every group. Over 12,000 generations of eugenics have slowly create the semi-cooperative society we have in place and all of it came from conspiratorial murder by majority rule.
Why were slaves buried with their King? This question has always intrigued me. A man becomes a dangerous animal under threat of death, but we have all of this history of it happening willingly. Perhaps the early mind lacked the autonomy and power to resist the obedience of civilization. Perhaps the psyche was a primitive beast, unable to consider an autonomous future or afford self-preservation.Let's have a closer look at the Death Pits of Ur, the retainer sacrifices of Abydos, the Roman rites of Terminus, and the 13,000 victims of the Shang Dynasty. All of them teach that civilization is an organism made of human fodder with a xenophobic caste system that views outsiders as subhuman raw materials and the self holds no value.
Why has humanity repeatedly institutionalized the surrender of its young? In today’s show, we trace the heartbreaking and complex history of infant exposure, ritual sacrifice, and societal safety nets from antiquity to the modern era.
