We'd love to hear from you. Click here to send us a text.Join us as we discuss the concept of "torture culture," exploring why humans inflict pain on each other and themselves. From schadenfreude and laughing at friends falling down to the banality of evil, we take a look at where the human capacity to do harm (and enjoy it!) comes from. We explore the division in America and the competing mythologies of our nation and the importance of facing ourselves and our personal pain. The discussion concludes with a reflection on the role of stories in shaping individual and collective realities.We want to hear from you! Please rate and review us wherever you find this podcast.
