The History of Psychoanalysis
The History of Psychoanalysis

One of the theories that put psychology into the mainstream was Psychoanalysis, or Freudian psychology. We review the history of Freud and the development of psychoanalytic theory/therapy and the subsequent divide. We also spend a little time on the theory itself, you know, in case you repressed the memory of learning it in school.

Freedom (part 2)
Freedom (part 2)

Behavioral and psychological "freedom" are couched more empirically inside of the concept of freedom from restriction and coercion, and the natural boundaries and contingencies of everyday circumstance and evolutionary trajectory. That is, freedom might mean freedom from restrictive policy and there is some stuff that we just can't biologically do. Also, freedom for one at the cost of freedom for others is not real freedom.

Freedom (part 1)

We all use the term colloquially. But what does "freedom" mean? There is freedom in the biological sense, political sense, psychological sense, and many more. We start exploring the various definitions of freedom and what it is not.

What Happens When We Die? (part 2)
What Happens When We Die? (part 2)

Today’s episode concludes our discussion about what people believe when they don't believe. We ask and answer the question what we believe happens when we die, as well as polling our patreon supporters. Atheists categorically reject the existence of gods and the practice of obeying any sort of higher power. Abraham defends the idea that atheism and agnosticism are the same. Shane makes some beautifully elegant points about what it all means at the end of the day.

What Happens When We Die? (part 1)
What Happens When We Die? (part 1)

Today’s episode discusses religion, but rather the lack thereof. Atheists categorically reject the existence of gods and the practice of obeying any sort of higher power. How does this develop? Where do they generate their morals from without a bible, torah, Quran, etc? While religion has united people around the world in admittedly prosocial and enriched ways, it has influenced others to commit unspeakable acts of violence too. Perhaps the same variables influence people differently, and maybe there is more to the story.

What Listening to This Episode Says About You Personality
What Listening to This Episode Says About You Personality

Like astrology and psychics, online personality tests generally use the Barnum effect to trick you into thinking they have something meaningful to say. They're tricksy like that. But they have also been used for extremely nefarious reasons, and in one instance, an implementation that lead to the beginning of the end of democracy in America. Also, we take some personality tests in real time.

193 | Character v Circumstance
193 | Character v Circumstance

What do Rush Limbaugh David Lee Ross, and Fidel Castro have in common? They are all part of a discussion about fundamental attribution error! This human bias is ironically self-referential. People tend to attribute causes of their own behavior to external characteristics while assuming that others’ behavior is due to characteristics endemic to that person. Or at least in western cultures they do. We discuss what it is, skepticism about it, and how to avoid it.
