Temporary Insanity

This week, Larry and Daniel discuss the flaws in our criminal justice system. These topics lead to interesting conversations that make us solidify our idea that reform is needed.

On this loose fit episode we put on our comfort robes and discuss some things that we find taboo but may be regular parts of life in other countries.

A short update as we pay tribute to a close friend of the family.

In the words of Neal Stephenson, “we are all susceptible to the pull of viral ideas. Like mass hysteria. Or a tune that gets into your head that you keep humming all day until you spread it to someone else. Jokes. Urban legends. Crackpot religions. Marxism. No matter how smart we get, there is always this deep irrational part that makes us potential hosts for self-replicating information.” This speaks true to today’s topic. Humans seem to have an urge to be in constant chaos; sometimes to the point where they will intentionally create scenarios to cause it. Take a ride with us today as we go over some cases where mass hysteria has gripped society. Its usually not until it passes that we begin to think rationally and question why it affected us so much. This is Temporary Insanity.

This week Larry and Daniel put on their relaxed size spandex jeans and cover the most unthinkable and bizzarre jobs that people hold.

I once found myself saying that we are a generation of trembling hands reaching out for happiness that comes in a 30-day bottle. At the point when I made that statement I was in a very low period in my life. The thing is, the more I think about it, the truer it becomes. You see, when you look into the history of mental health, you find that until this day, it was a taboo thing to talk about. In a way, it still is. Sure, there are many outspoken people now days but who is really benefiting from it? Are the medicines that are supposed to help us just a trap to keep us dependent for our lifetime? Who is really the product here? Today, we will take a look into a business that has adapted to its surroundings, but maybe not in the best way. A business that promises happiness and relief, at face value that sounds great, but what is really behind what we know as big pharma and its control on our mental health. This is Temporary Insanity.

The year is now 2021. We live in a world that is controlled by technology. To some, the things humanity has developed is mesmerizing and incredible. From medicine to cell phones and computers, all the way down to the toys we buy our kids. The development in this tech has moved at warp speed since the early 2000s. At the same time, there are some people that believe that there is a price to all of this development. What is the price? How does it affect us… or should I say control us? Do we pay this sum with our hard-earned money or is there more? How much of this is real and is there a chance that this is all “too good to be true”?Today, along with our guest Daniel, we will take a glance behind the dark curtain we know as the ever-changing technology.

In this pilot episode, we re-connect with an old friend and dive deep into what tore us apart. Addiction and loss.
