The Sean M. Sullivan Podcast

James and I take a look at DIE and how it's more idol worship than actual attempts at fostering a sense of belonging.

It's been a while since I've had a conversation for this podcast. James is my guest for this episode, where we discuss our sense-making apparatus and how technology has complicated things. Still, perhaps it is not that things are complicated, so much as we are overwhelmed by all of the information available.

James also brings up how there is a difference between the width of knowledge versus the depth of knowledge.

James and I lay out a landscape of the problems affecting men. The level of analysis hits the existential, philosophical, psychological, and theological levels.

The problem seems to be isolation and nihilism, which can lead to some bad places.

James and I discuss a recent protest against Drag shows, and we try to think it through on reasonable positions being hijacked by unreasonable people.

The conversation digresses to other topics and points as we go along.

Clinical social worker Lizzie Bradshaw joins James Benton and me to discuss the philosophical and psychological ideas nested inside the book of Exodus from The Bible.

The idea is to discuss themes brought to the fore during Jordan Peterson's seminar for the Daily Wire and to explore any ideas we may have in the process.

James and I discuss the book of Exodus from the Bible/Torah in response to the Seminar that Jordan Peterson, along with scholars, authors, and artists such as Jonathan Pageau, Greg Hurwitz, and Dennis Prager, among others

I review Jung's Psychology and Alchemy and briefly discuss Gad Saad's book The Parasitic Mind. I enjoyed both, and I hope you enjoy them.

In this episode, I interview and discuss psychology and other topics with Julie Boynton, a former colleague at Central State Hospital. The audio goes a bit haywire toward the end, but it was still a good discussion.

Here are some reviews of the books I have read so far: Aesop’s Fables - Aesop; The Origins of Nazi Genocide: From Euthanasia to the Final Solution – by Henry Friedlander; Analytical Psychology: Theory and Practice – by Carl Jung; Fear and Trembling – by Soren Kierkegaard; Faust – Johannes Goethe; and Man and His Symbols – by Carl Jung

James returns to the podcast, where we discuss the book I am working on about personality as an interface with the world. We also hit on some other topics as well. I hope to be able to record and upload new podcast episodes in the future.
