Unpopular Culture

This 30 minute preview talks the psychology of one of our favorite Game of Thrones characters Go to patreon.com/upcpodcast for the full episode. Thanks for listening!

Michael Drane (@upcmd) & Ryan Lee sit down to discuss this mindf*ck social phenomenon where the public has a false memory about certain things. The term "Mandela Effect" was first coined in 2013 after Nelson Mandela's death, because many people mis-remember him dying in prison in the 1980s. There are many examples of this, and the conversation surrounding the Mandela Effect has even escalated to the possibility of alternate realities and parallel universes. What are YOUR thoughts?

In this special episode of the podcast, we address 10 questions from our Stalker/Patrons! Including:

1. Sarah in Stalker group: "You guys are always talking about technology addiction, sometimes I find myself genuinely worried about how much time I spend on my phone or computer. What scares me more is how anxious I feel when I'm not using it. Any tips for a struggling iPhone addict?"
2. Heather in the Stalker group: "What are your thoughts, is this moral?" https://ia.meaww.com/read/technology/company-creates-suicide-machine-that-will-assist-patients-with-their-death/wp?utm_source=wp&utm_campaign=influencer&utm_medium=4697
3. Cadence in the stalker group: "A debate that I currently run into as whether or not Boderline Personality Disorder is really a personality disorder or the result of complex trauma. A colleague of mine won't utilize the name BPD and instead refers to it as complex trauma. Just an idea!"
4. The Psychology of Comedy requested by famous stalker John & also Cadence in the stalker group shared this article: https://themighty.com/2017/09/pete-davidson-borderline-personality-disorder-manipulation/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Mighty_MH_Page
5. Kendra in the stalker group: "Forgive me if this has been discussed I'm a little behind. Has there been a episode on the effects of music on your mood: Personally work has been insanely stressful the last few weeks(had my first panic attack in roughly 5 years last week) and music has been helping calm me. So I'm wondering if that is universal."
6. Typical American lifestyle: Now vs. the 50's
7. Tracy in the stalker group: "I'm not sure if you guys have ever done a little bit of this in an episode, but have your ever thought of doing an episode on the psychology of forgiveness? I saw this documentary a few years ago and followed her path, as I held grudges so badly. It was just ruining my life. I've become so much happier since then and find it so interesting." http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0489707/
8. Online Personality tests like Myers Briggs

[Narrative Analysis] Now is the time to address a horrific event that we've seen happen too many times in our country: mass shootings. The left wants to argue gun control, the right wants to argue mental illness. I argue for the fishnet solution. But these are just my thoughts—I want to hear yours!
