I think the only way to explain natural phenomena will be through science. I'm not sure how an experiment could communicate to us like i'm not sure, you know, even if there was some sort of link,. we wouldn't be able to communicate it through these rotades. We have a new sponsor, dave, and it is prolific. You am really excited about this. Prolific is a research service that allows you to collect data from what now is consists of a pool of 70 thousand regularly active participants in northand north america, in europe. Let's we come back with a discussion of koka's metamorphosis.
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).
This episode brought to you by Prolific.co, and by the support of our listeners.
