Two young men in California became so depressed that they committed suicide because they were circumcised as infants. Psychologists need to become aware of this issue in order to help those affected. This is something that I believe has a severe toll on people and all of us are affected in one way or another by what I see as a human rights violation.
David and Tamler break down a recent classic in the philosophy of mind: "The Extended Mind" by Andy Clark and David Chalmers. What is boundary of your mind? Is it contained with your body, or does it extend to the external environment--to your laptop, notebook, smartphone and more? Is this a purely terminological question, or one with practical and moral significance? And what is the role of intuition in providing an answer? Plus, Dave shares an email alerting him to the psychological trauma of male circumcision along with an exciting all-natural method for restoring the foreskin (that was stolen from us as infants).
