There are a lot of really complex technical hurdles ind the complexity of something like like i'm fully on board with that. That doesn't seem intractable to me, no. But connecting that to your anxiety about death, that's the link that i'm saying is might be, in principle, with the methods that are even, like, really good methods that are available to social psychologists. Ah, that might not be just something that you can draw any kind of insight from,. certainly not as much as you could draw through other forms of inquiry, through a more descriptive study, or just a work of art, or something like that.That would be more enlightening than this, yes
David and Tamler try to control their emotions (with varying success) as they go deep into Franz Kafka's masterful novella "The Metamorphosis." What kind of a story is this? A Marxist or religious allegory? A work of weird fiction? A family drama? A dark comedy? Why does a story about a man who turns into a giant insect get under our skins so much?
Plus a study that links insomnia to our fear of death. What a cheerful summer episode! (Actually we're fairly proud of this one... As always we suggest reading the text before you listen or soon after).
