If there's one thing that we seem to be insatiable about, it's trying to make ourselves the heroes of our own narratives. Some of our egotistical methods are painfully obvious. Others however are fairly subtle, especially when we employ gaslighting. I believe moralism is one of these methods. Today we will be discussing the various flaws, corruptions and destructive tendencies of moralism.

The topic of bafflegab and needlessly controversial Christian conversations has been brought up a few times before. Today I bring them both up again, but in a new light. These can also be used as a distraction and a smokescreen. "To what, and for whom?" you may ask. Find out in today's episode!

Among the many deep words that we have rather weak definitions of, joy certainly is. I've been thinking about and answering questions (my own and others') about what joy really is. Recently I've had a few more revelations about it, and today would like to share these thoughts with you.

There is a difference between what people believe and what a culture accepts as its collective belief or orthodoxy. America has gone through a couple pendulum swings at least in its cultural orthodoxy, all of which have been authoritarian and oppressive as they always are. Today we'll be taking a theoretical journey through those swings. I hope you find it engaging!

Anxiety can be quite crippling to us in life. Preventing us from everything from potential relationships to entire career paths. So where does it come from? Is it a good thing or bad? What can we learn from anxiety itself? Today we'll be exploring some deep human psychology and connecting some subjective feelings to objective realities.

How many people have you known who seem to have a skill to take the energy out of almost any idea, or plan, or whatever? Don't they seem rather proud of themselves? In my opinion however, such people, pessimists, are among those most to be pitied. In today's episode, we'll be going through why I think pessimism is an ominous trait.

Have you ever noticed that people can often use the word "fear" in one of at least two ways, but we are rarely given a definition? The more obvious definition would have to do with being afraid, but what is the other? Today, we'll be exploring two primary ways that fear is expressed by human beings, and what that means.
