November 03, 2020S5 Ep21: IQ: An Arbitrary Number?If you’re looking for a bit of a lighthearted break on Election Day, we’ve got you— This week on the podcast we’re talking about IQ scores and testing. Is this actually a fair and complete way to measure intelligence? And are IQ scores something to flaunt if you’ve got a high one? We’ll dissect our own feelings about being labeled “smart” and whether we’d rather you call us “smart” or “kind” with some sincere honesty. So, are you smarter than us? Or are you smarter than Ashton Kutcher? PS— we hear they add a couple extra points to your IQ score if you vote. It’s like writing your name on the SAT. 🗳...more1h 30minPlay

October 27, 2020S5 Ep18: SPOOKTOBER Moral Hypocrisy: Not Killing Your Friend to Save Ten StrangersThis week on the podcast, we dive into our final topic of this year’s SPOOKTOBER. It’s been a ride of unpleasantries this month as we’ve analyzed some of the worst parts of our humanity. This week is no exception as we face the fact that we might all be moral hypocrites. How can we expect positivity from humankind if we’re oriented to contradict our own morals and values? We’ll get into it as we do a round up of some of our darker contradictions. AND stay tuned, because we’re back *tomorrow* with a special mini SPOOKTOBER wrap up where we’ll question if humanity is actually just doomed based on all we’ve dissected this month......more1h 10minPlay
October 20, 2020S5 Ep17: SPOOKTOBER Attracted to Evil: Our Leaders and LoversThis week on the podcast, as SPOOKTOBER continues we dig into even more darkness within. We’re talking about our attraction to evil— whether we want to fuck you, date you, or have you perhaps lead our country, we seem to be inherently attracted to some pretty ugly qualities in other people. How can that be? Is it evolutionary or are we just gluttons for punishment? All that sinister stuff and so much more as we enter our very own Treehouse of Horror this month....more1h 23minPlay
October 13, 2020S5 Ep16: SPOOKTOBER Karmic Justice: Not So Enlightened After AllThis week on the podcast, we’re bringing you this year’s second installment of SPOOKTOBER.

For better or for worse, topics we’ve decided to call the ‘darkness within’ are showing themselves in real time. So what do you know about Karma? Is it all religious? What about Karmic Justice— is there ever a good time to believe people deserve what they get?...more1h 10minPlay
October 06, 2020S5 Ep15: SPOOKTOBER Schadenfreude: Enjoying Others’ Pain and More Words You Can’t PronounceOn this year’s first installment of SPOOKTOBER, we take a look at some hard to pronounce German words. We’re digging into Schadenfreude and what it really means to enjoy the suffering and misfortune of others. We’ve also got some questions about the anger and resentment that sometimes accompanies other folk’s good fortune. Is this ever okay? And how did we end up like this in the first place? Follow along this month, as we explore the darkness within......more1h 14minPlay

September 29, 2020S5 Ep13: Time Loops: The Repeating Universe of Personal PatternsThis week on the podcast, we’re diving into theories behind time loops. Are we living in one? Will time travel ever be possible? And what has some of us subscribing to these ideas anyway? Maybe just all the repetitious nonsense we get ourselves into and the fact that sometimes we make the same mistakes over and over. So what do you think— are we trapped in a circuit?...more1h 4minPlay
