A look back at season 2

In this episode the guys continue the exploration of what’s wrong with modern psychiatry and mental health leading into the ever widening raft between progressive, emancipating ideologies and a conservative, rigid way of conceptualizing reality.

A propos the tragic homicide of a homeless man on the NYC tube the RII crew discuss the prolongation of psychic and socioeconomic pain as kind of cries into the wilderness - they all somehow trigger a need to remain asleep in those who refuse to see that torch of hope and community beyond the confines of shortsighted economic gratification.

Together with guest Noreen Anderson, Martin and Dan probe questions of spiritual, social and material importance and try to envision a future of solidarity, even in times of AI and exteded mind. Tune in as we explore truth telling in the digital era!

The guys chat about their week and probe the timeless riddles of pain and healing, fantasy and archetype, and the comforting but unpopular truth that mind and body are one.  anchor.fm/real-it-in-cast

Today, we try something risky and avant-garde: What happens when, live, on camera, someone gets asked “How was your week?”. The Real Boys head right into an exploration of holidays, family and friends, the clan we’re born into and the ones we create, and how the bonds are made and frayed. Being who we are, we dive into the socioeconomic, psychosexual,  and cultural twists impacting human bonds and their complications.
