Carl Jung was an undeniably brilliant and original thinker, but that means he does what all true thinkers do: challenge what we know. In this episode, we give serious consideration to things we've previously dismissed, like astrology, and things we generally accept as unfounded, like UFOs. Seriously. Whether you want to believe or don't, this episode on some of Jung's more esoteric ideas is an exercise in giving serious thought to things that live entirely in the realm of the unknown or unproven. In this episode: ⋗ Giving astrology its due (begrudgingly) ⋗ Speculation on outer space ⋗ What the hell is the Age of Aquarius? ⋗ How any system of ideas can become dogma ⋗ The everyday doors of perception ⋗ Being conscious of how we choose to interpret our world ⋗ Skepticism without cynicism ⋗ The beauty of trying to understand ◬ Book discussed: Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal: https://amzn.to/3FHBkVR ◬ Watch the full episode: https://www.patreon.com/silvereyesociety ◬ Listen to the podcast via: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0os9rvF...

Matilda is a magical child that saves weak adults from tyrannical authorities, but Matilda is just a movie character. In the real world, when adults rely on magical children, it's less of a fairytale and more of a warning. As our society tears itself apart searching for safety and goodness, authorities have turned to children for advice while treating adult citizens like children themselves. Luckily, comedy stands to save us all by defeating every threat with the latest weapon of mass destruction: jokes. ◬ In this episode: ⋗ Kindness without courage is still cowardice ⋗ How others suffer when everyday people don't take responsibility ⋗ When adults look to magical children for salvation ⋗ Does overvaluing safety indicate a childish society? ⋗ Protecting child soldiers from comedy specials ⋗ Integrating childhood trauma to become whole ⋗ Netflix is the new Blackwater: Can comedy defeat the Taliban? ⋗ Religious extremists & western leftists: 🤝 banning comedy ⋗ Misanthropy as a gateway mindset to authoritarianism ◬ Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/ONePW2kbiRs ◬ Watch part 1 of this series: False Authority Deserves Mockery https://youtu.be/kybmxF9jBxU ◬ Listen to the podcast via: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0os9rvF...
