Mads nortmo arnest is i. Les gest t will be guesting on yoel imbar and mcenslick aa podcast. Two psychologists, four beers. We're going to be joining them to have a discussion about who knows, who knows but that should be fun.
David and Tamler dive into Sigmund Freud’s world of unconscious drives, death instincts, and thwarted incestuous urges in his classic text “Civilization and its Discontents.” If society has made so much progress, why are human beings perpetually dissatisfied? Can religion help us or is it a big part of the problem? What’s really going on when you piss on a fire to put it out? Also: how seriously should we take Freud today given some of his wackier ideas? And is he a psychologist, a philosopher, or something else entirely?
Plus we select the finalists from a huge list of suggested topics for the Patreon listener-selected episode!
