Modern Madness: When Suffering Has No Meaning

2 years ago
8

We scoff at the exorcisms and supernatural psychology of the past, but it's our view of mental illness today that's a novel invention. Hereditary shows us why for most of our history, being plagued by our "demons" wasn't just a metaphor.

Our most unhinged episode yet: Twitter as self-inflicted schizophrenia, action-movie Jesus, modern-day possession, and your demons versus your daemons.

Humans have been at war with forces within themselves that they can't quite control for thousands of years. Hereditary stands on the border between our mystical and mental illnesses.

This episode is free, but we have to eat!
