    1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity
    Jan 27 2026
    Why do we rubberneck accidents and binge true crime? Behavioral scientist Coltan Scrivner explains the surprising psychology behind our morbid curiosity.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1276What We Discuss with Coltan Scrivner:Morbid curiosity isn't a character flaw — it's an evolutionary feature. The same instinct that makes us rubberneck at accidents helped our ancestors learn about threats without becoming victims themselves. It's your brain's built-in threat-assessment system, gathering intel from a safe distance.Horror movies work because of a specific formula: an overwhelmingly powerful villain versus a vulnerable protagonist. That imbalance — think Pennywise hunting kids or Jason stalking camp counselors — triggers our threat-detection systems in ways action films simply can't replicate.True crime's massive female audience isn't random. Women face threats primarily from people they know, so their curiosity focuses on spotting danger signals and understanding how predators operate. Men, who historically face violence from strangers, gravitate toward watching combat simulations like UFC.Decades of research and millions of dollars confirm: violent video games don't create violent people. The Mortal Kombat moral panic of the nineties produced the ESRB rating system — but the generation raised on those pixelated fatalities turned out just fine.Engaging with scary play — whether horror films, spooky games, or even childhood tag — actually builds emotional resilience. Kids who experience controlled fear learn to regulate anxiety, giving them psychological tools to handle real-world stress as adults. So don't skip the haunted house.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

    1275: Incels | Skeptical Sunday
    Jan 25 2026
    Are "incels" dangerous radicals or just lonely guys punching walls online? Nick Pell takes us to the basement to find out here on Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1275On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The term "incel" was originally coined by a woman in the late 1990s as a gender-neutral, supportive community for lonely people — but it transformed over time into something darker as those who improved their lives left, leaving behind increasingly bitter participants.The "blackpill" philosophy — the belief that genetics predetermines your romantic fate — functions as a psychological trap that offers simple answers to complex pain while simultaneously absolving incels of responsibility to change their circumstances.Despite media portrayals, incel violence is statistically rare — only 12 incidents of "misogynist terrorism" worldwide over 40 years — though the broader phenomenon represents a warning sign about male loneliness and social disconnection at scale.A UK Home Office study revealed surprising demographics: 25% screen positive for autism spectrum traits, 42% are non-white, most identify as politically moderate, and 80% are neither employed nor in education — complicating the simplistic "angry white basement dweller" stereotype.Ex-incels exist and lead normal lives — they escape by building social skills, joining communities, finding purpose, and focusing on self-improvement like fitness, therapy, or hobbies rather than fixating on dating failures — proving that the "blackpill" worldview is a choice, not destiny.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

How I found Jordan, I do not know. But I am so glad that I did. He is one of the best interviewers I have ever heard and his guests are always top-notch and extremely interesting. His easy conversational style, knowledge of his guest's area of expertise make EVERY podcast better than the next. If asked which is my favorite, my answer is ALL OF THEM.

One of the best!

I've been a long time listener. I love the range of topics. Jordan and Gab are probably some of the few people on the planet that can have an actual qualitative, objective interview with anybody. Jordan is thorough and the conversations are always interesting...pick an episode and get addicted!

LOVE this podcast!

I listen to this show every day! There are so many different topics to choose from, and the feedback episodes further the variety even more. All interviewees are very intelligent, and Jordan interviews them in a way that allows them to tell their stories in thoughtful ways. The humor of Jordan and guests is authentic and lightens some of the darker topics in a respectful way. He is very neutral with his political views so as not to have the show lean any particular way. The show has introduced me to new topics and information that I share in day-to-day conversations.

Easygoing, Educational, and Entertaining

This is the one podcast that I always listen to. He asks interesting questions and has a real discussion. There are many things to learn from and be entertained. I've been listening to him for 8+ years now. FYI, Mike likes it too.

awesome podcast
