Explore the pressing question of our time: How do we counter authoritarianism without falling into dogma ourselves? In this thought-provoking conversation, John Atack and Jeremy Sherman tackle the rise of absolutist movements, the role of irony and curiosity in challenging dogma, and the existential challenges facing humanity in an increasingly complex world.

Jeremy is anxious to prevent a dissociation death spiral in our culture. We explore further his approach to Trump supporters and Jon offers some portmanteau words - Jeremy's speciality - including Magavellian, utopiates and fascilitators. Links: Jeremy's videos: "Ruin A Trumpist's Day The Nice Way" and "How to Stage Interventions With Trump Addicts"

in his "How to roll trolls and stump Trumpists", Jeremy has outlined his own approach to disappointing Trump's followers. Jeremy lays out his fascinating analysis of the 'herobot' the follower who avoids self-doubt by attaching to the 'dumbergogue' Trump. As usual, Jeremy is eloquent and spills over with ideas that will make you smart. Jon suggests an approach to deconverting Trumpsters. Watch for some excited moments as we find that far from playing three-dimensional chess, Donald Trump is simply eating the pieces.

Jeremy gifts us some of his new words that portmanteau concepts. Criticism of Malkin's model of narcissism ('feeling special') and Jeremy's embrace of the doctrine of foregone inconclusions. A delight for the eager mind. Jeremy's Book, Neither Ghost Nor Machine, can be bought here: https://www.amazon.com/Neither-Ghost-nor-Machine-Emergence/dp/0231173334/ Notes: From Scouting for Boys, 1908: “The practice is called ‘self-abuse'. And the result of self-abuse is always - mind you, always - that the boy after a time becomes weak and nervous and shy, he gets headaches and probably also palpitations of the heart, and if he still carries it on too far he very often goes out of his mind and becomes an idiot. The use of your parts is not to play with when you are a boy but to enable you to get children when you are grown up and married. But if you misuse them while young you will not be able to use them when you are a man: they will not work then. So for all reasons be on the look out against this temptation, it is easier to stop it at first than when it becomes a habit. The next time you feel the desire coming on don't give way to it; resist it. If you have the chance just wash your parts in cold water and cool them down. Wet dreams come from it especially after eating rich food, or too much meat, or from sleeping with too warm a blanket over your body or in too soft a bed or from sleeping on your back. Therefore avoid all these. Avoid listening to stories or reading or thinking about dirty subjects. You will soon find that the temptation will not worry you so much. Be strong and don't give way to it.” And this, from Scouting For Boys, 1911: In this chapter much has been said of the active measures which a boy should take in order to become strong and well. We should be equally concerned in saving and storing up natural forces we already have. In the body of every boy, who has reached his teens, the Creator of the universe has sown a very important fluid. This fluid is the most wonderful material in all the physical world. Some parts of it find their way into the blood, and through the blood give tone to the muscles, power to the brain, and strength to the nerves. This fluid is the sex fluid. When this fluid appears in a boy's body, it works a wonderful change in him. His chest deepens, his shoulders broaden, his voice changes, his ideals are changed and enlarged. It gives him the capacity for deep feeling, for rich emotion. Pity the boy, therefore, who has wrong ideas of this important function, because they will lower his ideals of life. These organs actually secrete into the blood material that makes a boy manly, strong, and noble. Any habit which a boy has that causes this fluid to be discharged from the body tends to weaken his strength, to make him less able to resist disease, and often unfortunately fastens upon him habits which later in life he {233} cannot break. Even several years before this fluid appears in the body such habits are harmful to a growing boy. To become strong, therefore, one must be pure in thought and clean in habit. This power which I have spoken of must be conserved, because this sex function is so deep and strong that there will come times when temptation to wrong habits will be very powerful. But remember that to yield means to sacrifice strength and power and manliness. For boys who desire to know more of this subject we would suggest a splendid book by Dr. Winfield S. Hall, entitled, "From Youth into Manhood." Every boy in his teens who wants to know the secret of strength, power, and endurance should read this book.

Jeremy has been working with neuroscientist Terrence Deacon at Berkley for 30 years. He shares insights about his head on challenges to true believers which contrasts with Jon's more gentle approach to mindchanging.

Jeremy seeks fundamental explanations for life and motivation. He invents a new word a day to better describe his insights. He calls himself a 'psychoproctologist' because he studies the psychology of a-holes (i.e. humans). Jeremy has a different, fascinating, and entirely non pompous view of the world. He was also the inventor of the Sherman Effect, which is the propensity to name things after ourselves.

Insurance vs the Station Nightclub Fire Without giving my age away entirely, I will admit…I'm a child of the 80s. I've been lucky enough to have seen several of my favorite 80s artists perform their greatest hits.  It never crossed my mind that something could go wrong during a concert and I might be in danger. But on February 2, 2003, more than 400 people who also loved the 1980s attended a concert at the Station Nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island. But that night, something went wrong. A fire broke out at the concert, resulting in 100 deaths and 230 injuries. When bad things like this happen—insurance should respond. That's what it's there to do. But what if the people responsible don't have enough insurance to compensate those affected by the disaster? Well, then things get complicated. This is a story about how small decisions can result in tragedy; how fire spreads faster than you imagine; and how the people who are responsible are sometimes not the people who are held accountable.

Three years ago, when I started thinking about making a podcast about insurance and history, I had only one topic in mind: slavery. It took three years of reading and researching before I was ready to share it with you, but this episode represents part one of a three-part series about insurance and slavery—an overview of the Atlantic Slave trade and how insurance contributed to and supported that trade. It's a tough topic, but an important one, for insurance professionals and history buffs alike. This is a story about how capitalism developed in Europe and the Americas, about colonialism, the cost of labor, transcontinental marine shipping of kidnapped human beings, and how insurance supported all these things. And how underwriters decide what to insure, and how to insure it.

For the first episode of Season 3, I'm talking about Enron and the company's spectacular rise and even more spectacular fall. It's a story about how creativity can sometimes mean stupidity, how culture impacts a company's survival, how hiring decisions matter, how ideas mutate, and how companies that put stock price and profits above all else can easily be the architects of their own demise. And--how blind people can be about a lot of things if what they are doing is making money. Who was responsible for Enron? What were the major causes of its bankruptcy? Who spoke up, and who listened (or didn't?) And what insurance responds when half of your executives are being criminally charged, and the shareholders and creditors are suing everyone they can think of? Join me to find out!

How can insurance save a company from bankruptcy? How does litigation funding work? Why did a lawsuit about a famous wrestler's sex tape become a warning to journalists everywhere about the power of Silicon Valley? Welcome to the Insurance vs History Podcast! In this episode, I talk about a case called Bollea v Gawker, which involved Hulk Hogan's sex tape, and Gawker, one of the first big online news organizations. It also involved tech mogul Peter Theil and a vendetta that resulted in Gawker's demise. This is the story of how insurance could have saved Gawker, but didn't—and the very real issues brought up by the trial, namely, the issue of litigation funding, bad deposition preparation, hubris, the rising power of Silicon Valley, and how much privacy public figures are entitled to today. What's covered by insurance? Where did Gawker go wrong regarding insurance coverage? What does their bankruptcy mean for journalism today? Join me to find out!

EPISODE 1496: In this KEEN ON show, Jeremy Sherman, the author of WHAT'S UP WITH ASSHOLES, offers a psycho-proctological analysis of why there are so many assholes around these days Once there was no life. Then there was life. Now there's so much strife we might end life as we know it. Jeremy Sherman researches all of that - strategy from the origins of life to everyday and political life. With a Masters in public policy and a Ph.D. in evolutionary and decision theory, he has collaborated for 20 years with Harvard/Berkeley scientist Terrence Deacon trying to solve the biggest mystery in science today: How mattering emerges from matter, life from chemistry, means-to-ends trying from cause-and-effect phenomenal. Sherman's new book, Neither Ghost Nor Machine: The emergence and nature of selves (Columbia University Press) harvests altogether new scientific perspectives on value, significance, purpose, information, free will, and society. Sherman has also written over 1200 articles for Psychology Today on everyday decision-making, under the heading Ambigamy: Insights for the deeply romantic and deeply skeptical, and many articles elsewhere on political decision making. Delivering what Psychology Today's editor in chief describes as, “mind candy for people who aren't afraid to think” Sherman is playful yet rigorous, opening worm-cans of wonder and stirring readers to locate their everyday lives in the very big picture. His latest book is What's Up With Assholes? (2023) Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

But truth can be elusive - it can slip through your fingers before you can fully grasp it and then off you go chasing it again!Today's guest joins me for a conversation about truth - and even though we don't agree on everything - the conversation was eye-opening! Jeremy Sherman, Ph.D., MPP, is a social science writer/researcher with a Masters in Public Policy and a Ph.D. in evolutionary epistemology, which simply means a focus on how different kinds of organisms make an interpretive effort.

How has the NRA impacted insurance? And why are insurers being asked to regulate the gun industry? Welcome to the Insurance vs History Podcast!

I've long maintained that a**holes are decent people minus a sense of humor. And I want to preface this episode by making sure that my audience knows I welcome as guests those with differing opinions and positions across humanhood and the political spectrum - as long as you bring your ability to laugh at life and its mysteries. My guest this episode is Jeremy Sherman, PhD, who shares my core belief that humor is the saving grace of humanity.

He's authored 1000 articles, with 10 million readers, for Psychology Today, and his latest book is called What's Up With Assholes? How To Spot And Stop Them Without Becoming One. Our chat is a marvelous romp through the amusing yet imposing garden of assholia, where egos run amuck. The good news? There's nothing here that some earnest psychoproctology can't resolve. And by resolve, I don't mean cure. True a**holism is incurable. By “resolve,” I mean “to firmly determine." In this episode, we firmly determine what a**holes are, how they present, why they persist - and how indeed we might someday stop them.   Key Takeaways:A**holes are the biggest threat faced by humanity, representing a more immediate existential danger than climate change or nuclear arms.Call out an a**hole as soon as possible - they are like vampires, burned by the light Yes, a**holes can be shamed; they will not feel remorse, but they are vulnerable to embarrassment!More About JeremyJeremy Sherman, PhD, is a cradle-to-grave science researcher and writer studying the unbroken chain from the origins of life from chemistry to humankind's grave situation today.

He's also a popular blogger for Psychology Today, a researcher who studies how life has emerged from chemicals, and a funny guy.

In this edition of "Unscripted," Jennifer Furlong interviews Dr. Jeremy Sherman, social science writer and researcher. Jeremy's research is cradle to grave: from the chemical origins of life to our grave situation. Psychology Today, for which he has written more than 1,000 articles, describes him as “mind candy for people who aren't afraid to think.” Jeremy is a specialist in a-holery and jerkology. He calls himself a psychoproctologist, which means he is engaged in careful scientific research on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of buttheadedness. How does one become a specialist in a-holes and jerks? One way is by carefully studying how language has influenced how humans adapt (or not) to reality. This is an enlightening, entertaining, informative, and stimulating discussion about words, perception, and critical thinking.

I have a conversation with Jeremy Sherman PhD. Jeremy studies evolutionary epistemology, or how organisms interpret and adapt to circumstances. He has written 1000 blog articles for Psychology Today. He has been studying 'assholes' going beyond the dark triad. He recently wrote a book called What's Up with Assholes? How to Spot and Stop Them Without Becoming One. You can find out about Jeremy on his website jeremysherman.com

How do you deal with buttheads without becoming a butthead yourself? My guest Jeremy Sherman has been studying multiple disciplines in human sciences in several of the top US homes of academia. As a self-proclaimed psychoproctologist, he helps us explore the asshole mindset and how to counter the tactics they often employ in arguments and why not countering assholery could be the end of us all. This and much more in a fun but adult conversation. (You will notice in this episode the US/UK divide. In the UK we call people arseholes as a derogative and in the US it's assholes. They mean exactly the same thing, so please consider them interchangeable for this episode and this is my unique rendition of the Gershwin classic 'you say asshole and I say arsehole, let's call the whole thing off!') In this episode: Why Yoda was wrong in Star Wars What is psycho proctology? What allows us to say someone is an asshole? Do assholes know they are being assholes? Irony as a tool of persuasion? How to tackle trolls and more besides. You can find out more about my guest at JeremySherman.com and his book is called What's up with Assholes. Jeremy's book recommendations are Style: lessons in clarity and grace by Joseph Williams (definitely not in everyone's budget, sorry) and https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Building-Great-Sentences-Exploring-the-Writers-Craft-Audiobook/B00DB6BS7Y?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp&shareTest=TestShare (Building Great Sentences By Brooks Landon) available in audio as part of Audible's Great Courses series.

He's friends with famous intellectual thinkers, has been a close research collaborator with Harvard/Berkeley neuroscientist Terrence Deacon for over 25 years and is a one-time elected elder on the world's largest hippy commune. Jeremy is the author of these three books: 'Neither Ghost Nor Machine - The Emergence and Nature of Selves' 'What's Up With Assholes? - How To Spot And Stop Them Without Becoming One' 'Negotiate With Yourself And Win! - Doubt Management Skills For People Who Can Hear Themselves Think' In this stimulating chat, we touch on science, evolution, the birth of language, The Stoned Aped Theory, 'Trying', Free-will, Natural Philosophy, the third scientific revolution, love, panpsychism, virtual virtue, the second self, social media, technology and much, much more.

In this fun episode of The Nick Lugo Show, Jeremy Sherman answers this question: can you calculate your chances of life success? He's a super fun guy, here to answer some serious questions. I loved this episode. SPONSORS SneakerCreatures: https://www.sneakercreatures.com/ USE PROMO CODE: NICKLUGO for 10% discount on all sneakers Jeremy Sherman is a lead researcher on one of today's most prominent and promising topics: trying and how it started. In other words how mattering emerged from matter, how the struggle for existence emerged from aimless chemistry. He's close collaborator for 25 years with Harvard/Berkeley neuroscientist/biological anthropologist, Terrence Deacon. He's the author of Neither Ghost nor Machine: The Emergence and Nature of Selves. He is also the host of several podcasts, namely “What's up with A**holes,” where he defines his new field of research, psychopractology (if you don't get the joke, look it up). He's reached over 15 million people in his writing and audio. Here are some of his quirks: A pioneer psychoproctologist – 25 years working to explaining total jerks and how to stop them without becoming one. A one-time elected elder on the world's largest hippy commune. A shamelessly honest introspeculator, who uses funny personal examples to illustrate and explain the stuff we all do.

Jeremy Sherman PhD has been on many of the rides in life's amusement park. For example, in his 20's he was an engineer getting water to poor Guatemalan villages and was also an elected elder in the world's largest hippy commune. During a juicy midlife crisis, he pivoted to academic research on the questions that were eating at him. He now calls himself a cradle-to-grave researcher, collaborating with a Berkeley neuroscientist on everything from the chemical origins of life to the nature of assholes and cults today. Sherman is the author of a Columbia University Press book about life's origins but also 1000 articles for Psychology Today about everyday doubts and decision making. 3 top tips for my audience: 1. Commit yourself to fallibilist irony, the adaptive response to a wiggly world.  2. Watch out for “I once was lost but now I'm blind” syndrome. 3. Don't panic, it's organic. If you understand how we got here life gets more interesting and you get more comfortable in your own skin.  Social Media Jeremysherman.com https://linktr.ee/Jeremysherman

Jeremy Sherman is the world's leading specialist on assholes. He's studied narcissistic personality disorder, cult indoctrination, and child trauma to come up with a unifying theory of why people become assholes. Why they double down at every opportunity, bully those who they see as weak, and fall for conspiracy theories and cults. In this episode we'll seek to understand how someone's rock bottom experience can lead them to become an asshole instead of a phoenix. You don't want to miss this one!

Jeremy Sherman is a longtime researcher, focusing on knowing ourselves better through what he calls cradle-to-grave scientific research. His area of research is broad: the origins of life, humans, and recently, "psychoproctology" in his book, What's Up with A-holes: Advanced Psychoproctology for Beginners. He researches with top scientists while producing accessible podcasts, videos, books, and blog articles. In this episode, Jeremy and I go toe-to-toe on the subjects of love, God, the Middle Way, and how to better understand the asshole mentality.

Jeremy Sherman is an out-of-the-box thinker who has made it his life's work to contemplate and write about humanity's most challenging dilemmas. He has spent decades of study on the human condition, and is an expert on the many ways we employ language to advantage and also to make our lives more difficult and painful. Jeremy has invented over 2000 novel terms for those times when current terminology just doesn't suffice. He has also published over 1000 articles on Psychology Today and written two books.  His insight and irreverence really shine through in his newest book, titled “What's Up With Assholes? How to Spot and Stop Them Without Becoming One”, which is due out this year. Using Jeremy's writing and quotes as jumping-off points, our conversation runs the gamut from whether humans possess innate wisdom, to working with fear skillfully. We also discuss the two prime directives of every organism, the need to protect against things that degenerate it (us), and the need to repair what does degenerate.   This underlying principle applies to language and concepts as well, which leaves us humans with a confirmation bias, favoring those things that reinforce what we like to hear and filtering out concepts/language that we think threaten us. While some of us treat this as a problem to manage, others take it as a license to simply avoid things that bring up doubt. On that topic, Jeremy discerns the difference between healthy doubt and useless doubt. Of language, Jeremy says “We worry emotionally, the way other animals do, but we get these feedback loops going where we rev out because we can remember past horrors, and we can anticipate future horrors, we can imagine all sorts of unreal horrors.“   He adds, “That's one thing that language does, it overwhelms us and makes us anxious.  The other thing it does is affords us easy ways to deflect that which makes us anxious.  So we've got climate change, but then we've got all these people who are worried about Dr. Seuss books being canceled, that would be an example of threat displacement.” There's a lot more in this episode that we cover, of course, sprinkled throughout with Jeremy's wry sense of self-deprecating humor.  ************Before you leave, a few considerations.·      Why not subscribe to the Unconditional Healing newsletter here with announcements, podcast links, events, etc. ·      You can learn about and register for our next online Healing Circle here.  It's free, and you'll find like-minded folks with whom to practice meditation and share the journey toward unconditional health and well-being.·      Much of my work with Unconditional Healing, like the Healing Circles, is free and I'd love to keep it that way.

Jeremy Sherman PhD has been on many of the rides in life's amusement park. For example, in his 20's he was an engineer getting water to poor Guatemalan villages and was also an elected elder in the world's largest hippy commune. During a juicy midlife crisis he pivoted to academic research on the questions that were eating at him. He now calls himself a cradle-to-grave researcher, collaborating with a Berkeley neuroscientist on everything from the chemical origins of life to the nature of assholes and cults today. Sherman is the author of a Columbia University Press book about life's origins but also 1000 articles for Psychology Today about everyday doubts and decision making. He has three podcasts including one in which he debates himself and another that's a podclass reading of his new book, What's up with assholes? How to spot and stop them without becoming one.

Throughout our careers, we find meaning and external affirmation in the work we do. We're contained in a reliable groove for the majority of our adult lives, that is until we hit retirement. Today's guest explains why you might find yourself knocked off your center when that groove falls away.   Jeremy Sherman Ph.D. is a cradle-to-grave researcher – from the chemical origins of life to our grave situation and in between. Not only has he authored over 1,000 articles for Psychology Today, but he has also published two books exploring eight meaty questions about what makes us tick.   As a psycho-protologist, one of the biggest questions Jeremy poses is how we can stop and prevent buttheads without becoming one in the process. Today he shares how he goes back to the origins of life to explain a-holery — and how his unconventional early transition into Chapter X led him to study human behavior.   We discussed:    Jeremy's real-life story of reaching financial security at 16 years old How he developed an internal sense of self through self-employment A midlife crisis that led Jeremy to discover evolutionary theory How to spot assholes—and stop them—without becoming one Engaging your curiosity and sense of self in Chapter X Jeremy's advice of designing the constraints in your life   Links JeremySherman.com

Be prepared to go deep on this one!  This Doctor of Philosophy has spent over a quarter of a century working with researchers to study human existence from Cradle-to-Grave; stemming from how our chemistry relates to our psychology, and how our "A-hole-like" behavior could lead to inevitable demise.  Check the links below to explore his two books, and join us now, as we interview the brilliant mind behind the books and the research.  Just his verbiage behind the word "try," as it pertains to human beings moving through this life, will make you think differently.  Enjoy.www.jeremysherman.comBook: Neither Ghost Nor MachineAmazon.com: Neither Ghost nor Machine: The Emergence and Nature of Selves eBook : Sherman, Jeremy, Deacon, Terrence: BooksBook: What's up with the A-Holes: Advanced Pshychoproctology for Beginners(Link to be posted soon ;-)

We have all had the misfortune of dealing with a jerk at some point in our lives. Today on the I Know I'm Crazy with Naja Hall podcast, I am chatting with author Jeremy Sherman, Ph.D. about his extensive life's work on adverse personalities. Jeremy Sherman, Ph.D. is a science researcher and writer who has written 1000 blog articles for Psychology Today under the title Ambigamy: Insights for the deeply romantic and deeply skeptical. For a quarter-century he has collaborated closely with Harvard/Berkeley neuroscientist and biological anthropologist Terrence Deacon developing a theory for the origins of life's struggle for existence, in other words explaining trying or effort from its chemical origins. Sherman writes academically but most of his writing is about everyday decision-making. He has just written a book now available as a free podcast called "What's up with a**holes?

Join our Youtube Channel The History of the First Gentlemen Welcome to the Gentleman Style Podcast! In today's episode, we will explain what is a gentleman? Who is actually a gentleman? what are the traits of a gentleman? Everyone wants to be a gentleman today but only few can achieve that mark because most people don't understand the concept of gentleman. Today, Mr. Jeremy E Sherman will break down what it means to be a gentleman and what is a gentleman. Who is Jeremy Sherman? Jeremy Sherman PhD proposes that we need a Gent 4.0 approach. The first gents were landed gentry. The second were people who were kind and polite. 3.0 was generic: Gents bathroom or ladies and gents. Gent 4.0 is a master of blunt tact, able to maximize their honesty through verbal combat skills that are nonetheless tactful as can be. Gent 4.0 challenges himself with the not-entirely accurate assumption that there's nothing you can't say if you find the right way to say it. More broadly, Jeremy is a life and social science researcher and writer who studies life cradle to grave, from the origins of life to our grave situation. For a quarter century he has worked closely with Harvard/Berkeley neuroscientist Terence Deacon developing a theory for how life began. And at the other end of the spectrum, Sherman just wrote a book on psychoproctology: Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of total aholery.

Jeremy Sherman set out, fairly early in life – to be a hippie. He now asserts that science is his spiritual path. Possessing a naturally questioning mind, Jeremy abandoned the quest for undefined enlightenment to seek out answers to higher truths by applying scientific methods. Working closely with Harvard and Berkley neuroscientist and biological anthropologist Terrence Deacon he seeks to explain the basis on which biological organisms aspire or try. He told me that this aspect of life – trying or aspiring or dreaming, so to speak – distinguishes living organisms from machines. It has names but little in way of explanation. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=HGJKF8TKYSKRN)

Our guest today is Jeremy Sherman. Jeremy is a decision theorist researching and writing about choice from the origin of life to everyday living. He teaches college courses across the social sciences and blogs for Psychology Today. He's here to talk to us about his latest book Neither Ghost nor Manchine in which he distils for a general audience the theory developed by renowned neuroscientist Terrence Deacon that extends the breakthrough constraint-based insight that inspired evolutionary, information, and self-organization theory. He argues that emergent dynamics theory provides a testable hypothesis for how mattering arose from matter, function from physics, and means-to-ends behavior from cause-and-effect dynamics. In effect that what this offers, is a physics of purpose and can make science safe for value, We'll also talk about how this all might relate to the Middle Way
