i feel like we'll be putting a button on it with some kirke gard, and maybe even later with some dostoevsky. The one i was going to say is doing something like fear and trembling from kiregard. I think both are really interesting ideas. All right, so i'll do my next one. Then, a bunch of people asked us to do morboros stories,. One called the immortal and one pierre mernard, author of don quixote. And i feel like somehow borhes is a good summer episode. Absolutely.
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!
