Podcasts about Sigmund Freud

Yair Qedar discusses his film, an exploration of Sigmund Freud's life, work, and experiences as a Jew in Vienna, presented during the week of his 170th birthday.

Was braucht man für die Psychoanalyse? Auf jeden Fall einen Diwan. Keiner wusste das besser als Sigmund Freud.

This week, we are unlocking the late 1930s archives of the Square and Compass journal. First, we dive into a May 1938 piece titled Freemasonry and Peace , which pulls in a famous debate between Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud to ask if humanity is hardwired for destruction, or if the Craft can train us for peace. Then, we look at an August 1937 article titled Helpful Suggestions for Every Day —a masterclass in daily resilience, written during a brutal economic recession . Stay tuned!

„Já totiž vůbec nejsem mužem vědy. Nejsem ani pozorovatelem, experimentátorem či myslitelem. Mám temperament conquistadora, dobrodruha – s náležitou zvídavostí, odvahou a vytrvalostí.“ Takto se v jednom dopise charakterizoval Sigmund Freud. Zakladatel psychoanalýzy nechoval velké sympatie ani k filozofii. Přesto bývá mj. za filozofa označován – už proto, že předložil teorii lidského já, s níž se vyrovnávala řada myslitelů, a zároveň nabídl cosi jako nový jazyk moderního světa.Přinejmenším se zdá, že pojmy jako neuróza, trauma, narcismus jsou pro moderního člověka podstatné. Ale možná žádné z těchto slov nepředčí „nevědomí“, vrstvu našeho já, v níž psychoanalytik hledal odpověď na otázku, proč trpíme. Podle Freudovy nauky nezbývá než jít na nevědomí oklikou: když člověka necháme mluvit, mimoděk na sebe ledacos prozradí. Člověk totiž sám sebe zrazuje; prý z něj zrada proudí všemi póry.Psychoterapeut se pak spolčuje s klientovým nevědomím proti klientovi samému. Proč to spolčení? Lidé se chtějí léčit, ale často se nechtějí uzdravit. Jejich symptomy jsou strategiemi přežití, mnohdy dokonce celoživotním dílem, které nehodlají jen tak zahodit. Vždyť jim v mnoha ohledech dobře sloužilo. Jenže proniknout k nevědomí znamená překročit hranici společenského taktu i vlastního sebeklamu. Freud proto v jednom dopise varuje, že lékař ani pacient se nesmějí obávat nevkusnosti: „Člověk se musí stát zlým chlapem – bez zločinu není výkon.“Ale co je na řeči tak pozoruhodné, že někdy dokáže proměnit i fyzické symptomy, a to bez jediného léku? V řeči totiž opakujeme – byť mnohdy nechtěně – svá traumata, selhání i bolesti. Máme zvláštní sklon vracet se právě k tomu, co nás zraňuje. Toto zjištění Freuda šokovalo. Netvrdil snad sám, že člověk je veden principem slasti? Jenže skutečnost často vypadá jinak: pohybujeme se v zapeklitých kruzích opakování. Freud píše o mužích, jejichž každé přátelství končí zradou; o lidech, kteří nejprve křečovitě vzývají autoritu, aby ji pak s triumfem zničili; o milencích, kteří se pokaždé zamilují do téhož typu člověka, jen aby jejich vztah znovu skončil stejně bolestně. Pozoruhodné je na tom hlavně to, že už zde začíná Freud přecházet od klasického modelu „člověk hledá slast“ k ponuřejší představě: člověk je bytost, která opakuje i to, co ji ničí.Možná nás právě nevědomé opakování nutí, abychom začali opakovat vědomě – a tím se od bolesti alespoň částečně osvobodili. Řeč, vyslovení bolesti, je už sama formou opakování, která může proměnit to, co nás svazuje. Opakování je strukturou naší tragédie i možným východiskem. Ale Sigmund Freud, který celý život bojoval proti iluzím, si nedělal iluze ani o člověku samém. Nevěřil, že by nás nakonec nečekalo selhání, mnohdy bolestivé. Nehraje se o to, zda selžeme; hraje se jen o to, jakou podobu naše selhání získá. A protože jsou některé podoby snesitelnější než jiné, je dobré zavčas si připravit tu nejmilosrdnější.KapitolyI. Ne myslitel – dobrodruhII. Úhoři, kokain, terapie slovem, pud smrtiIII. Naše já – náš zrádceIV. Metafyzika ztraceného objetíV. Touha vracet se k tomu, co zraňujeVI. Opakovat lépe? Vpřed?

In dieser Folge beschäftigen wir uns mit unseren Trieben. Warum rauchen wir, obwohl wir wissen, dass wir damit unserer Gesundheit schaden? Wir wollen herausfinden, ob Freuds Theorie vom Unbewussten hilft, solche Laster besser zu verstehen. Was genau sind Triebe – und wozu sind sie vielleicht gut? Wir erzählen, wie Sigmund Freud die Existenz des Unbewussten in unser Bewusstsein geholt hat.

Você sabia que até uma pessoa ética e pacífica pode cometer atrocidades quando capturada pela multidão?*Freud explica como o Eu se dissolve na massa, tema aprofundado por Dr. Mezan no Podcast Norma MelhorançaPodcast Norma Melhorança entrevista o psicanalista Dr. Renato Mezan, um dos maiores conhecedores da obra de Sigmund Freud no Brasil.Nesta conversa, Mezan analisa e aprofunda o clássico texto “Psicologia das Massas e Análise do Eu”, em que Freud investiga o que acontece com o indivíduo quando ele se identifica com uma massa, um grupo ou uma “turma”.O que ocorre com o Eu quando o sujeito deixa de pensar por si mesmo e passa a agir movido pela lógica da multidão? Como compreender os comportamentos impulsivos, violentos ou aparentemente sem sentido que emergem quando o indivíduo perde parte de sua singularidade para se fundir ao coletivo?A entrevista mergulha justamente nesse território inquietante: os mecanismos psicológicos pelos quais o Eu pode ser capturado, colonizado e transformado pela força da massa.O psicanalista Renato Mezan é um dos mais importantes estudiosos da obra de Sigmund Freud no Brasil.

Heute geht es um Philosophie! Es geht um große Gedanken in kleiner Form… oder anders gesagt: um die Kunst, Philosophie verständlich zu machen, ohne sie zu trivialisieren. Mein Gast hat genau daraus eine .. vielleicht seine … Lebensaufgabe gemacht. Er schreibt über große Denker, komplexe Ideen und schwierige Fragen UND versucht dabei etwas, das gar nicht so selbstverständlich ist: nämlich, verständlich zu bleiben, ohne an Tiefe zu verlieren. Viele von uns verbinden Philosophie mit dicken Büchern, langen Sätzen und dem Gefühl, dass man dafür eigentlich „zu wenig Zeit“ hat. Genau hier setzt die Arbeit meines heutigen Podcast-Gastes an. Mein Gast ist Dr. Walther Ziegler, promovierter Philosoph, Journalist und Hochschuldozent. Als Auslandskorrespondent, Reporter und Nachrichten-Chef des Fernsehsenders pro sieben produzierte er Filme auf allen Kontinenten. Seine Reportagen wurden mehrfach preisgekrönt und er ist Autor zahlreicher philosophischer Bücher. Seine Buchreihe „Große Denker in 60 Minuten“ wird in 6 Sprachen übersetzt und findet weltweit begeisterte Leserinnen und Leser. Im Podcast sprechen wir darüber, wie man Kant, Habermas und andere große Denker in eine Stunde bringen kann, was dabei verloren geht, was gewonnen wird, und warum Philosophie vielleicht viel näher an unserem Alltag ist, als wir oft glauben. U.a. folgende Fragen stellt ich Dr. Walther Ziegler: • Wenn alle Denker, über die Sie geschrieben haben, in einer WG wohnen würden, wer müsste vermutlich nach ein paar Tagen ausziehen? • Warum lohnt es sich heute noch, sich mit Philosophie zu beschäftigen? Haben Sie Freude am Gespräch mit Dr. Walther Ziegler und, so hoffe ich, Kurzweil … Also ab in den Zuhörsessel und Ohren auf! Herzlichst Claudia Lutschewitz

The most sophisticated sales funnel ever built isn't from a tech startup. It's not Amazon, it's not Apple, it's not from any business-school case study you've ever read. It's a religion. The man who built it wasn't a theologian or a prophet - he was a science fiction writer who held four Guinness World Records, published 65 million words on a custom typewriter with extra keys for common words like “and” and “the” so he could write faster, and engineered a customer journey that starts with a free personality test and ends with a $380,000 offer delivered on a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean. This isn't an episode about what Scientology believes. I'm a Mormon, I've got friends who are Scientologists, and I'm not here to debate theology. This is about the architecture of one of the most sophisticated value ladders ever built in human history - and I walk you through every step in the language every entrepreneur in this audience actually speaks. Free lead magnet, $35 tripwire, $11,200-per-grade core offer, $30,000-a-year high ticket back end, a premium tier only deliverable on a boat, and an “unreleased” next level that's been “coming soon” since 1986. Then I trace their closing technique back to my mentor Dan Kennedy's “find the bleeding neck” framework, and I show you why all of it actually works using a 1951 book by a longshoreman named Eric Hoffer called The True Believer. Key Highlights: ◼️The complete value-ladder breakdown - the free Oxford Capacity Analysis as the lead magnet, the $35 “throwaway” intro courses as the tripwire, the $11,200-per-grade core offers, OT levels that top out on the Freewinds cruise ship, and OT 9 and OT 10 - the “next level” that's been coming soon since 1986 ◼️The Jeff Hawkins direct-response case study every entrepreneur should study - $2,000 in production cost that generated $200 million over 35 years, and the Sigmund Freud unconscious-mind trick L. Ron Hubbard built right into the Dianetics cover art ◼️The “Dissemination Drill” - the 4-step closing technique Scientology recruiters are trained on (contact, handle, salvage, bring to understanding) - and why it's the exact same psychology Dan Kennedy taught me as “find the bleeding neck” ◼️Eric Hoffer's three insights from The True Believer that explain why intelligent, successful people stay in any movement for decades - people join for refuge not doctrine, every movement needs a devil more than a god, and conviction beats content every single time ◼️The single line that separates a movement from a cult - the techniques are identical, the architecture is identical, the psychology is identical, and the only difference is what happens to the person at the end At the end of the day, this episode isn't really about Scientology. It's about the fact that the same architecture that built a $380,000 funnel on a cruise ship is the same architecture I teach entrepreneurs to use every single day. The value ladder works. The bleeding-neck close works. The “us vs. the gatekeepers” enemy works. The conviction that makes people follow you works. The tools are neutral - the only difference between a movement and a trap is what you actually do with the person who walks in the door. So the real question I ask myself every single day - and the one I want you to sit with after you hear this - is: are you building something that genuinely helps the person at the end of your funnel, or are you building a system that uses their pain to keep them paying for forty years? ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

"Sei nicht so hysterisch" – den Ausdruck kennen viele, vor allem Frauen. Hysterisch hat sich in unserem heutigen Sprachgebrauch als abwertende Bezeichnung durchgesetzt. Zu Zeiten von Sigmund Freud war die Hysterie aber ein echtes Krankheitsbild. Eine mysteriöse Krankheit, die damals scheinbar sehr viele Frauen befällt. Der junge Arzt Freud will seinen hysterischen Patientinnen helfen – und entwickelt in der Arbeit mit ihnen die Psychoanalyse. In Folge 2 erzählen wir, wie hysterische Patientinnen Freud dabei helfen, die Psychoanalyse zu entwickeln. Und warum er heute trotzdem gerade für sein Frauenbild in der Kritik steht.

¿Por qué algunos libros han sido perseguidos, prohibidos o quemados a lo largo de la historia? En este episodio de El Café de la Lluvia, Rubén Almarza nos guía por algunos de los casos más impactantes de censura literaria en la Alemania nazi y en Estados Unidos. Analizamos cómo el régimen de Hitler prohibió obras de autores como Stefan Zweig, Bertolt Brecht o Sigmund Freud por motivos ideológicos, raciales y políticos. También descubrimos casos sorprendentes como la censura de Oliver Twist o Ivanhoe. En la segunda parte del programa viajamos a Estados Unidos para hablar de puritanismo, moralidad y persecución política. Obras como El Decamerón, Cándido o Las uvas de la ira fueron censuradas por obscenidad, crítica religiosa o denuncia social. Además, abordamos el caso de los Papeles del Pentágono y el control de la información durante la Guerra de Vietnam. Un recorrido fascinante por la historia de los libros prohibidos y la lucha entre cultura, poder y libertad de expresión. ☕ Escucha El Café de la Lluvia, el espacio donde la historia, la literatura y el pensamiento crítico se encuentran. ☕ Hazte socio/a de El Café de la Lluvia y forma parte de nuestra comunidad: https://elcafedelalluvia.com/hazte-socio-a-de-el-cafe-de-la-lluvia/ Escúchanos y léenos en nuestra web: https://elcafedelalluvia.com/ ▶️ Suscríbete a nuestro canal de YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ElCafédelaLluvia Recibe nuestros contenidos en tu correo: https://elcafedelalluvia.com/suscripcion-newsletter/ Síguenos en redes sociales: Twitter: https://twitter.com/cafelluvia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elcafedelalluvia/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Cafedelalluvia Tu apoyo nos ayuda a seguir dando voz a la cultura, la literatura y el pensamiento crítico.

We will examine the full taxonomy of parental alienation — the behavioral indicators, the severity levels, the alienating behaviors — and we will introduce the intellectual lineage that runs from Sigmund Freud through John Bowlby through Margaret Mahler to Richard Gardner: a lineage that tells us something important about why alienation works, because it exploits precisely the developmental architecture that defines a child's earliest and most consequential relationships  Please visit www.naopas.com or www.drbobevans.com for more information on parental alienation and Dr. Evans.

Why do women in long-term relationships often lose their 'spark' while men seem to have an on-off switch? Is your hair dryer actually causing your colour to fade? And, can you get a medical 'crystal ball' to tell you exactly how many eggs you have left? In this episode, Dr Mariam and Claire speak to Dr Eva Jackson, a Sexual Health Physician, to unpack the complex world of female desire. They discuss the difference between 'spontaneous' and 'reactive' arousal, why the word 'libido' might be outdated, and the medical reasons - from antidepressants to hormonal shifts - that might be stalling your sex life. Plus, in Med School, Claire and Dr Mariam look at the science of hair health. We reveal the research-backed way to dry your hair to prevent cuticle damage (hint: it involves a ruler and a blast of cold air) and why leaving your hair to air-dry might actually be doing more harm than good. And, in the Quick Consult, Dr Mariam answers Catherine’s question about 'ticking clock' anxiety. We break down what tests like AMH levels can actually tell you about your fertility at 27, why your partner’s health is just as important in the equation, and why a preconception screen is the best first step for peace of mind.

Mariam, what gets you going sexually? 00:10Speaker 2 It is when my husband shows up, just appears. When he does, like, things without me asking, right, So, my goodness, Like he's packed the kids their lunches, he's taken a bit of my mental load. He's done a bit of cleaning. Men do not understand. 00:31Speaker 1 Okay, men do not understand me. Take a little bit of mental load, it is so hot 00:38Speaker 2 So hot, 00:46Speaker 1 Hi there, welcome to Well your Full Body Health Check. I'm Claire Murphy. 00:50Speaker 2 And I'm doctor Mariam. 00:51Speaker 1 And today we're talking about Libido time to get spicy. There is always a lot of comparisons about how women's health issues have been overlooked while men get pills for a rectile dysfunction, But there are actually pills for women's desire too, which we will discuss. But we'll also touch on what it is about us that so many of us do seem to lose spark over time. We'll also have a quick consult for Catherine today. She's got a ticking clock issue and she wants to know how to maybe quieten it down just a little bit. But next mariam are you a blow dry girl, after you wash your hair or do you let it just do its thing and air dry. 01:33Speaker 2 I'm gonna be honest. I actually wash my hair every seven to ten days. I know, I know, you know why. I have so much hair, So I have to blow dry my hair after I've had to wash. But I do it in segments because there's so much and it takes so long. 01:50Speaker 1 Oh, this is me crying you tears of sadness for your I have so much glorious flowing hair that it takes me hours to dry, so much work. 02:00Speaker 2 I actually get like I sweat, it's like almost need to shower again. So I'll do like a light blow dry to start with, and then I'll do like a quarter and proper and then I'll just take a couple of hours off and then revisit. 02:13Speaker 1 Over two days, just take breaks between. 02:16Speaker 2 It hurts my arms so painful. 02:19Speaker 1 Rip your hairdresser. Okay, Well, next in med school, I'm gonna reveal which one to blow dry or not to blow dry is actually better for your hair. Welcome to med school. Is it better for your hair to leave it to dry naturally or use a blow dry? I unlike you with your glorious tresses have very fine hair, not a lot of it, so I almost have to race from the shower to the hair dry before it starts drying by itself. 02:47Speaker 2 What happens if it dries. 02:48Speaker 1 If it dries naturally by itself, it ends up in weird shapes. Okay, so it's naturally straight, so I don't straighten it. But if I don't blow dried, it's almost stuck to my scalp and it's very flat, so it needs some kind of air in there for vol But if you've ever visited a hairdresser, they will have different opinions, which is funny because they'll tell you you need to put stuff on your hair to protect it from any heat, and we use a lot of heat with curlers or straighteners or hair dryers whilst they simultaneously fry your hair as they blow right from the roots right. But here's the thing. Your hair can absorb about thirty percent of its weight when it's wet, so it soaks up the water and swells from the inside. So what that means is it's stretching your hair's outer layer or cuticle, and that puts pressure on the cell membrane complex. That's the glue that holds all those cuticles together and forms the length of your hair. So if you leave it wet, it stays in that vulnerable swollen state for longer, and then cracks can form due to that swelling. That is what then causes damage to the cuticle itself, and sometimes it can also cause your colour to fade because the color is absorbed in them. And then if you leave it wet and out to dry naturally, can crack that and make the colour stuff to go right, So, what is the best option for hair health? According to research. Yes, research has been done on this. Blow drying on medium heat from fifteen centimeters away fifteen fifteen Oh jeez, I know. 04:17Speaker 2 It's it's fair ways away from your head. That's more arm work. 04:21Speaker 1 It is more arm work. You can get bigger by steps, keep the dryer moving so it doesn't heat up one area for too long, and then drying it till it's just about eighty percent and then leaving the rest to dry naturally. Okay, that apparently causes less damage than just doing nothing. So little bit of heat not too much. So apparently then too, you should finish off with a bit of a cool blast of air because it helps seal the cuticle part of it and also stops the residual heat. 04:50Speaker 2 And it holds its shape longer. 04:52Speaker 1 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So just measure fifteen to get a ruler. Jeez, measure fifteen centimeters away from you head. 05:00Speaker 2 Yeah, it's going to be a little bit hard work. Sorry about that. 05:04Speaker 1 On the way, today's check up, where we are off in search of all of our lost libidos, or never found? Where did they go? 05:15Speaker 3 It's time for the checkup? 05:18Speaker 1 Mariam? What gets you going sexually? 05:20Speaker 2 Well, okay, if you ask me, ten years ago been very different, right, what is it today? today? It is when my husband shows up, just appears, when he does like things without me asking, right, So, my goodness, Like he's packed the kids their lunches, he's taken a bit of my mental load, he's done a bit of cleaning. 05:44Speaker 1 Men do not understand. Okay, men do not understand me take a little bit of mental load. Is so hot? 05:54Speaker 2 It is so hot, so hot. 05:56Speaker 1 Yeah. But Mariam, do many women speak to you about not being motivated to have sex anymore? 06:01Speaker 4 Okay? 06:02Speaker 2 So women will often say I just don't feel like having sex anymore, and it's kind of like, oh, this is the status quo. I've accepted it, and it's not something they generally come to me with, so. 06:15Speaker 1 That's always they've already accepted this. 06:16Speaker 2 Yeah, that's where they're at, and it's like the norm and it's acceptable, and sometimes they don't offer that information. I as a GP like to cover a lot of sexual health in my consultations, and a lot of the time that I will get, is something wrong with me? And I want to say, nothing is wrong with you. You're not broken, and you're definitely not the only one feeling this way. Three of us in the room have put our hands up. In fact, Australian research shows that one in three women will experience low sexual desire at some point in their life, so that's a third of us. So if you're nodding along right now, you're in good company. And what's interesting, it's rarely about not wanting sex. Sometimes it's medical, sometimes emotion. On a lot of the time it's both. So let's start with the medical side of things. So a lot of the time there's a hormonal issue at play. You may have just had a baby, you might be going through perimenopause or menopause, and we know a lot of medications to side effect can be loss of libido. Then there's low iron, thyroid issues, chronic pain, endometriosis. They all can play a role as well, So before you start blaming yourself or your relationship, it's worth getting a checkup. Then there's the emotional and relationship side. So when you're juggling work, especially as a female, you've got your family, You've got the mental and emotional load, and that invisible to do list that just never ends. Your brain's just in this survival mode, and a brain that's trying to get through the day isn't exactly thinking, yes, let's get it on tonight, I really want some penis. 07:51Speaker 1 And there's something about like, you know, you might even be in a great frame of mind and thinking, yeah, I am feeling turned on right now, and then your partner will be like, where's my shoes and you're like, oh yeah, oh now, I'm just dealing with another child, and it's like that switches off immediately, right, So it doesn't take much to turn off. And we're not always visual creatures either. Women. We are very much in our heads and we like to be turned on in different ways, not just like and I know I've had conversations with my friends and one of my friends said, have any of your husbands just like pulled it out and said, hey, let's go, And we've all kind of gone yeah, and they're like, did that work for any of you? And one of our friends has got like quite a high libido and she's like, Yep, I'm ready to go anytime of the day or night, and that works for her. But for the rest of us, we were like, no, it does not work for me. But when I asked, have any of you talked to your husbands about that? And they're like, yeah, we tried to say something like that doesn't work, but none of us said what would work? Yeah, so the communication wasn't great with that either. 08:58Speaker 2 I always tell my husband's sex starts before the bedroom, and I know it's hard with kids, liked you kind of have to book in that intimacy. 09:05Speaker 1 Yep, and then there's always that paranoid that they're gonna wake up and walk in or whatever 09:09Speaker 2 But it's just like when it becomes schedule, it's just loses it. It just loses it. But yeah, for me, definitely sex starts before the bedroom. I'm not someone who's just going to be aroused because you've flopped out your penis. That doesn't talk for me, buddy, Yes. 09:24Speaker 1 It doesn't work. I mean for some it does like it just doesn't. 09:27Speaker 2 It's just doing that. It's just like this thing that's just like flopping there. It's just doesn't do it. 09:33Speaker 1 My friend said to me, your husband came up and said, hey, baby, have you seen this lately? And she said, yeah, I see it all the time. What? Come on, you can do better than that. 09:43Speaker 2 Pack it away, buddy,. 09:45Speaker 1 Put a little bit more effort in. But if someone is struggling to have this discussion with a medical professional, like if they feel like they've done what they can on their own and they want a bit of extra help, what do you suggest they do to get the ball rolling. 09:58Speaker 2 I would suggest if you want to speak to your GP about it, finding maybe like a woman's health GP to start with. A lot of unfortunately, gps aren't really comfortable with having this conversation. I've seen a lot of patients say, tried to bring this up in the past and I didn't really get much answers or help, and that kind of shut them down or made them feel embarrassed. So I think having that conversation with someone who has experience in the area is going to make you feel a lot more comfortable and you're going to get the results that you want. So I would start by finding a GP with experience and then just letting them know I'm not feeling myself, I'm not feeling connected, I don't feel like having sex anymore. Is there something medically happening, and then the doctor will just take it from there. They'll ask you all the questions and they will guide the consultation based on what they think is appropriate. A good GP will make you feel comfortable, ask the right questions, and give you the support that you need. 10:58Speaker 1 Yeah. WhenI started researching libido. I actually realized that I don't know what it is. We talk about it like it's a physical thing in our bodies. Yeah that you can like point to, yeah, point of like that's where my libido lives. But yeah, so really I don't know what it is other than it's the urge to have sex. But it is a lot more than that. We are pretty complicated beings us, ladies, and can I also say too that, like, if you don't want to have sex anymore and you're very comfortable with that like, Thats fine! There is no one telling you that you have to have sex to be you know, I don't know, af functioning human, Like, you can live without it if that's your choice, and you're very happy. 11:32Speaker 2 With that too, And a lot of people are and choose to them. 11:36Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly, like and that's totally fine. But like, can I say for my LGBTQI mates, And this is not saying that they are all like this, because we're all different, but they seem to be a lot better at engaging in sex but also just talking about it with each other, like grown ass humans who have once and needs and they're happy to like discuss that and put it out there. 11:58Speaker 2 I don't know whether that's it is a thing I don't definitely see. Like I find with a lot of my heterosexual female friends that sex often feels transactional. It's like, oh, it's just another to do this job to do it's like a job something get over with, all right done? You know, Yeah, that's amazing, jeez, Claire your winning. What we actually crave is that engagement, that emotional foreplay, that communication and touch that isn't really goal driven or like a tick off the list. And you're right, because a lot of the lgbtqi I folk. They seem to have more open conversations about sex, not because they're magically better at it, they probably are. 12:41Speaker 3 But. 12:43Speaker 2 Because their relationships often require more conscious communication from the start, and they've had to define what intimacy means to them rather than just following a script. And that's something I guess everyone can learn from, like having those open, honest conversations saying this is what it looks like for me. 13:02Speaker 1 I guess too when we're talking about libido in women. When we talk about men, for example, and we know that there are, you know, medical interventions for them, like rectile dysfunction pills, but there's this idea that if a man loses his ability to get or maintain an erection, that there is a problem, that there is a medical issue, and so him not being able to get an erection is an issue. But for women, we don't have that equivalent. So, like, I wonder, what are the medical benefits for us to have our libidos fully functioning? Like I know that there was some research recently that suggested that masturbation was good for you when you're in menopause, that it had benefits, But I'm not sure if we have an equivalent of a erectile dysfunction relating to a man being physically healthy as opposed to us not having a libido and not being physically healthy. 13:53Speaker 2 We have that hyperactive sexual desire disorder. So there is a term HSDD, and there is treatment for that for females who have low libido if they meet the criteria. But I don't know whether or not as females there is that added benefit medically from orgasms. I'm sure in the moment there is maybe mental health. Maybe mental health. Yeah, we'll have to look into that. It's interesting, definitely worth a chat. 14:21Speaker 1 Yeah. Next, doctor Eva Jackson's going to tell us more about where a libido actually lives, how to wake it up if it's been snooz’in a while, and what things we know about both medical and non medical approaches to help. Okay, today's expert is doctor Eva Jackson. She is a sexual health physician, and we started our chat by asking her what even is a libido? Now, Eva, I think we want to start off by at first kind of establishing what a libido even is, because, like, if there's something going on with our bodies, often we can point to the spot and go right, that is where the problem is. But when we talk about issues with our libido, we might think it might be in our vagina, but a lot of it's in our head. And so I wanted to just get a definition from you before we go any further. What is our libido? Does it exist as a physical structure, like what is it? 15:19Speaker 3 I guess in medicine, libido is something that we can divide into two parts. So we've got desire, so the one thing to have sex, and then there's the arousal part, and that's the physical part where you know, you get your palpitations, you get the tingling in your vagina, you get the wetness, and they can come together, but they can be separate issues as well too, And libido can be a little bit difficult to, you know, to understand, and often when I've got someone in front of me, I've got to actually ask them, well, what are you missing? I think it's different for everybody when you're talking about libido, and it's really important to really pin down what the problem is because it can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, and in the end, the whole full definition, you know, doesn't really apply to that individual person. 16:10Speaker 1 Well, can we even talk about using the word libido, because that word was coined quite a long time ago by Sigmund Freud, and many people now say that perhaps it's a little oversimplified, It ignores a lot of societal things, cultural factors, it lacks a fair bit of scientific evidence as well, and that it might sort of overemphasize sex itself in all of this rather than the desire part of it. Would you say that maybe it's time to rethink even using the word libido. 16:38Speaker 3 Yeah, before you mentioned it to me earlier, I sort of thought, well, libido is a word that I see, but we tend not to use a lot of. The original Freudian libido was based on sex, was that the motivation to have sex. But I think Freud sort of expanded his definition somewhat for just the motivation for life and general happiness. I think sometimes men, when they come in and they say they've got low libido, they tend to have a lot more problems with motivation for other things as well, not just libido. But when women come in and specifically say I've lost my libido, got low libidio, they really are talking about just lacking the motivation to want to have sex. So libido I don't like pure definitions. It doesn't work for me, especially now being such a multicultural community. You know, you can sit down with somebody and they use the word because they hear it, but they haven't quite understood it, and it's really what that means to you. Like I said, I prefer to use the word desire because that has connotations of want as opposed to a whole lot of other things libido might encompass. People might think it's sex, people might just think it's dysfunction and in some other way. 17:58Speaker 1 What can we talk about finding issues that we would then take to our doctor and say that I've lost my libido or I've got an issue with my libido. When someone comes in and says those things, are there tests that come to mind that can help people understand where they are physiologically or is this more of a something for our therapist to talk through, Like what sort of tests or medical intervention do we look at when someone comes in and says, I've got a problem with my libido? 18:26Speaker 3 So I guess we're really talking here about cis women. A lot of women when they come in saying you know, they've got a lot of libido, is that they actually don't feel like sex with their partner. And then it's understanding what's going on. There's certainly you want to ask a lot about what's happening sexually, what's happening about their relationship, work, you know, things that are going on around them, and then of course those physical issues as well. Is there genital pain, deep pain? Is there, you know, a lack of lubrication, what's actually going on? Depending on what the actual issue is, there may be tests. A lot of women go directly to hormones, especially if they're older. So am I sort of premenopausal? Am my menopausal? Is that going to affect me? And that might be worth some investigations, And of course if there's pain and other physical issues there may also be some investigations for that as well too. And of course if there are some sort of chronic diseases that may affect particularly arousal, so arousal being usually whilst women will define their arousal as really not lubricating very much, it's a bit more difficult to have sex. But often there are a lot of things going on around that don't have anything to do with a physical problem and then maybe it's more sort of talking it through. 19:51Speaker 1 What would you say the most common reasons are for women to either lose interest in that desire or to have issues with desiring sex. 20:02Speaker 3 I think the most common reason is being in a long term relationship. So the longer you're with a partner, the less spontaneous desire that you know, women tend to have. And I think it's that sort of Hollywood kind of sex sort of coming through in that when we first meet someone, that's all very exciting and there's a lot of chemicals going around us that sort of allows spontaneous desire just oh my god, I want it now, you know, and let's do it. It all works. So the thing is the longer you're with somebody that doesn't happen as much. It holds true for men. Men are a bit simpler in that respect, I guess is that there have an on off switch and that arousal is spontaneous. But for women there's a lot of, can be, a lot of other things that have to be right, you know, before they have spontaneous desire or not even spontaneous sort of a desire that's brought on that actually tells you, yeah, sex would be really nice right now. And I think a lot of people still believe that if they love someone, if they in the presence of someone they enjoy, that they should just have that arousal in them and that desire for them, which doesn't necessarily hold true. 21:16Speaker 1 Well, can we talk about that, because you've mentioned spontaneous desire a few times, and that is if you could explain what spontaneous desire is and then how there's this idea that maybe women are more reactive desire based rather than spontaneous. 21:31Speaker 3 So a spontaneous desire is just that you look at your partner or a someone, I want to have sex, and you've got the physical feelings on the inside that say, yes, let's do this now. And I think the longer you are with someone that doesn't necessarily hold true. It's just some spontaneous desire is really just looking and saying, yeah, that would be nice. And I think a lot of women would like to be more like men in that sort of way, Like. 21:58Speaker 1 It sounds easier, does a bit. 22:01Speaker 3 Yeah. The problem is I think in the beginning it's cultural. You know, once upon a time, you know, we weren't meant to have a libido women one hundred years ago. It's like that was women are meant to want to have sex, So now you're normal, but now we're supposed to want to have it, and suddenly you're not normal when you don't want to have it. So yeah, it is very culturally defined what's normal and what's not, and there's not as far as I'm concerned, really there's not an abnormal. It's really what you need right now and how can we make that better for you. 22:35Speaker 1 I wanted to speak to you too about the fact that there seems to be a lot of people in our social media feeds that claim they have the answer to fixing our libidos. That could be anything from acupuncture, pressure points, nasal sprays. We see the Kardashians have, you know, got lines of things that they are promoting as being libido fixes. What should we be aware of when it comes to looking at helping our sexual desires and a lot of the things that are maybe being marketed at us as solutions. 23:06Speaker 3 First thing is safety. You want to know if you're get to take a product, at least it's safe. If it doesn't do anything, you want it to be safe. There's a lot of placeebo. In these things, you buy something, it works initially because you believe it's going to work, and then it doesn't. Belief is really important when it comes to something like libido. I think like a lot of libido really has to do with communication. If you're in a long term monogamous relationship, if that's what we're talking about here, a lot of it is to do with the communication with your partner. Testosterone is usually the thing that women talk to me a lot about, which is a possibility in older women who have hit menopaude, and that's available for women if you know that you have a sort of what we call a hypo desire sort of disorder. It's not really appropriate for younger women, and it really is. Again, it's really communication and understanding what you need to improve your libido. 24:07Speaker 1 Well, can we talk about one thing. I saw a neuroscientist on my social media feed claiming that women getting just one extra hour of sleep a night increases her libido by fourteen percent. Now I do not know on what research he has based this claim on, but would you say that women getting more sleep does in fact help libido? 24:30Speaker 3 So I had a look at that and it comes from it. I think it was twenty fourteen or twenty eighteen paper. Well, extra sleep would help a lot of things. It certainly helps your energy levels and just your ability to do a lot of things during that day. So I certainly agree if you get good sleep, it was going to help. 24:50Speaker 1 There are lots of women online now who seem very concerned that maybe the oral contraceptive pill might be interrupting their libido. Do we have any research that proves that or disproves that? 25:02Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, so there is there is research. The thing about the oral contraceptive pill is that it increases something called serum hormone binding globulin in your body. And as the name suggests, it binds hormone and so therefore your hormone is not available to you, and in particular, it binds testosterone. Women only have a tiny amount of testosterone. So for example, we say women normal amounts of testosterone is less than two for women, whereas men, you know, you're upwards of ten to ten to thirty, right, So we have tiny amounts. So for some women who have particular receptor types need more testosterone than others to get all of the testosterone functioning. Cells working, So that is true. 25:56Speaker 1 So you've mentioned a few times that a lot of the issues that you encounter with patients is probably a lack of communication, and that does often spring from being in a long term relationship. So would you say that therapy can actually help libido? 26:13Speaker 3 Yes, it can, and I think therapy with the partner is really important. You have a lot of women coming in who want to work on it alone because they believe it's their problem. The thing is, it's a couple's issue. The thing that reduces women's libido or desire the most is actually a long term relationship. So the easiest way to increase your desire is to get a new partner, and that's not really, it might be for some women they may actually need a new partner, but for a lot of women that's not an option. You need your partner to be involved to understand what's going on, because you know, people don't talk about sex very often, and so you go into a relationship it's all good sexually, you have your spontaneous arousal and fireworks go. But you're together for a while and it's not spontaneous anymore, and then it's the understanding of what she has to understand what she needs. That's hard enough as it is, let alone trying to communicate that to a partner, and we fall into these sexual scripts where we tend to do the same thing sort of every time, and it's very hard to get out of that. So, for example, you know, like I said, men often have more spontaneous arousal. They'll get home from work and partner is there and hey, she's pretty, let's do it. Whereas for her, it's not quite like that. In a lot of circumstances, and women may have spontaneous desire, but a lot of women may actually start their their sexual encounter somewhere else. Some women need emotional intimacy, you know, so they need shells of love and encouragement to get into that cycle. Some women just need to be touched, right, and maybe he's learned to touch her and ways that are really counter productive for her. But it's too hard to say otherwise and to sort of redirect the touching to what she prefers. And some women actually will start at orgasm before they have any spontaneous arousal kind of I'm difficult to understand if you're not one of those women. But you know, there's some women who will say, Okay, we'll just get into it, because I know once I get going, I have my orgasms. Then yeah, okay, I'm feeling it now, let's do this again. And of course there's those usual things of time factors, stress, children, needing a quiet space, needing to wind down. 28:40Speaker 1 What would you say to someone who is listening to this right now and thinks, yeah, I'm really struggling with this. What are the first steps that she can take? And when should she look at getting professional medical help with libido? 28:54Speaker 3 I think if she's got chronic disease, diseases on medication, it's worthwhile talking to the doctor. You know, is there a medication I'm on that's not helping. Often the main culprit can be antidepressants, you know, SSRIs that tends to reduce your desire, and if for a lot of women that can really produce an orgasmia of difficulty reaching orgasm, or not reaching orgasm at all, because it blocks a lot of pathways in that respect. Might be something as simple as changing medication perhaps, but if you’re otherwise fit and healthy, I think if you can actually talk to your partner, that's a really good start. And that's a really difficult, difficult conversation to have. And of course we're really talking about relationships that are respectful and loving as well. If you're talking about relationships that are coercive or violent or just have some bad history, I think that's another sort of route of counseling as well. 30:02Speaker 1 So Mariam does seem that communication seems to be the key here if your lack of libido or desire is not influenced by a chronic disease. But why is this so scary to talk about? Do you think? 30:13Speaker 2 I think as we were never taught how so, like most of us grew up with silence around sex and intimacy. Maybe we had some anatomy classes in school, maybe a warning about pregnancy or but there was never any teaching about pleasure connection or emotional intimacy. So when we try to talk about it as adults, it feels like we're vulnerable and we're exposing something deeply personal. Maybe we should be ashamed about it, maybe it will be judged for it And there's that fear of rejection or am I going to hurt this person's feelings because they're not providing for me the way that I want them too. 30:51Speaker 1 What if they like something that I don't like, is that going to be a deal breaker? 30:54Speaker 2 But the irony is as we try to avoid it, the bigger that gap comes. And the couples who thrive aren't the ones to have perfect sex lives. They're the ones who can talk about it without that shame or that fear of judgment. So I would just start small, sit down and say, hey, we need to talk about sex, or you can start with hay, I miss feeling close to Can we try something different, Keep it curious, not critical, because at the end of the day, communication is foreplay. Well it is for me anyway. Yeah, and in my limited experience, it is how desire grows. 31:30Speaker 1 Yeah, okay, yeah, let's start talking friends. You never know what the outcome might be. Might be something might be an orgasm, might be an orgasm, and that would be fabulous. 31:38Speaker 2 That would be fabulous. 31:40Speaker 1 Next, Catherine isn't ready for babies like situationally or financially, but she cannot stop thinking about it. We’ll get some help for her next. Okay, doc, do you think it's quick consult time? The doctor will see you now. Just through here to consult room one. 32:03Speaker 2 Thanks for waiting. How can I help you? 32:05Speaker 1 Remember. If you want to get a question to the good doctor here, you can do it by sending us an email well at Mamamia dot com dot AU. You can do what Catherine did and hit us up on our Instagram DMS, or you can do it by the waiting room. It's an online form that you can find the link to in our show notes. Very easy. I get Catherine's filling that clock a tick in want some advice on what to do to drown it out for a bit. Here we go, she wrote. 32:26Speaker 4 I'm twenty seven and my partner is thirty seven. We're just about to finish building our first home together and are wanting to start a family in the near future. However, the prospect of not being able to get pregnant gives me great anxiety almost daily. I have no family history of trouble getting pregnant or any reason to be concerned, but it hangs over my head most days. I'm almost tempted to start trying straight away, even though we ideally would like to wait a few years to settle ourselves financially, simply just to know one way or the other if I can or can't get pregnant. My partner suggested maybe it's worth speaking to my doctor and getting some tests done to find out if we do have anything to be concerned about. My question is what should I be asking to get tested for to understand my fertility? And is it just me that should be getting tests done or should my partner also be looking into it? 33:12Speaker 2 Okay, First of all, you are not alone in this sphere. I see so many women in their twenties. We're thinking about babies one day, not right now, but the what if I can't get pregnant voices living rent free in their brain, And it makes sense. Fertility is one of those topics that gets whispered about. It's rarely explained properly, and the horror stories always travel further than the normal ones. Here's the deal. You're twenty seven. You've got no red flags from what you've told me, medically, no family history suggesting issues, so on paper, your body's not secretly plotting against you. But anxiety we know it doesn't care about logic. So I always tell people preconception screens. You know, whether it's a year or two or three prior is always a good idea. Baseline tests might help settle your mind and that's completely reasonable. For you,hat generally means a general health a reproductive screen. We'll look at your ovulation patterns, and sometimes we may do an AMH level, which gives a rough idea of your ovarian reserve. Saying that it's rough because it's not a crystal ball. 34:21Speaker 1 No one goes into one, two, three, four, how many eggs are in this. 34:26Speaker 2 It doesn't tell us if you can or can't get pregnant. It just gives context. So you could have really high numbers and still have issues with fertility. You can have really small numbers and have really great egg quality. And fertility is a team sport. I need to say it takes two to tango. If you're exploring this early, it absolutely makes sense for your partner to be included. A simple Semon analysis is cheap, quick and gives a lot of great information, and also a general health check with your partner is also required. Men's age does matter as well. We pretend sperm stays young forever, but as men get older, motility, shape and DNA quality can dip a bit. Your partner is thirty seven, still very much in the fertile age range, but if you're doing checks he definitely needs to be part of the picture too. Most importantly, I would say, don't feel pressured to start trying just because you're ready to silence the What if at twenty seven you're biologically in a really favorable window. If some basic tests give you peace of mind, fantastic, go ahead and do them, but bring your partner into that conversation o future parenthood is a joint project, it's not solo investigation. And remember, worrying about fertility doesn't mean something is wrong. It means you're human. You're planning a life chapter and your brain's trying to get ahead of the story. So chat with your GP. But if you feel like this anxiety's just kind of popping up day to day, I think that's also worth exploring with your doctor. 35:55Speaker 1 Yeah, maybe doing some tests will put your mind at ease, but bear in mind too that sometimes doing those tests might increase your anxiety. 36:04Speaker 2 Yeah, especially if you know we uncover something. 36:06Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, so you might want to just factor that in yeah too. All right, Catherine, Hopefully that has answered your question today. But remember we love that you spend time with us here on well and we love getting all your advice. But it is general. The info you've heard here today is general, not specific. For you. Make sure you learn from it. Use it for the list of questions you take to your own doctors to sort out what's right for you. Next week, Mariam, some ye oldie worldy STIs are making a very uncomfortable comeback and we apparently do not care enough about it. So we're going to get all down and dirty in the sexually transmitted infections of the past and now sadly our present. But also a quick ask, would you mind rating and reviewing us in your podcast app It helps us out a lot more than you know.

»Sei nicht so hysterisch« - den Ausdruck kennen wahrscheinlich viele Menschen, vor allem Frauen. Hysterisch hat sich in unserem heutigen Sprachgebrauch als abwertende Bezeichnung durchgesetzt. Zu Zeiten von Sigmund Freud war die Hysterie aber ein echtes Krankheitsbild. Eine mysteriöse Krankheit, die damals scheinbar sehr viele Frauen befällt. Freud will seinen hysterischen Patientinnen helfen und stößt durch die Arbeit mit ihnen auf die Methoden der freien Assoziation und der Traumdeutung. In dieser Folge erzählen wir, wie hysterische Patientinnen Freud dabei helfen, die Psychoanalyse zu entwickeln. Und warum er heute trotzdem gerade für sein Frauenbild in der Kritik steht.

Er wurde gefeiert wie ein Popstar der Wissenschaft, und er wurde bekämpft wie ein Scharlatan: Sigmund Freud. Der Österreicher, der uns bis heute im Kopf herumspukt. Aber wer war dieser Mann wirklich? Und wie zeitgemäß sind seine Ideen heute? In dieser Serie wollen wir Freud verstehen - und unsere eigene Psyche. Kann uns der Erfinder der Selbstanalyse in einer komplexen Welt helfen, zumindest uns selbst zu entschlüsseln? Oder hat uns Freud am Ende mehr verkorkst als geholfen? In Folge 1 geht es um die Kindheit. Ödipuskomplex, anale oder orale Phase - viele von Freuds Theorien beschäftigen sich mit der Kindheit. Wir wollen verstehen, wie Freud diese Ideen entwickelte, welche Kindheitserfahrungen ihn dabei selbst prägten. Und wie er auf dem Weg zur Entwicklung der Psychoalayse auf die Hypnose stößt. Dazu legen wir uns selbst bei einem Wiener Psychotherapeuten auf die Couch – und lassen uns hypnotisieren. Wenn ihr direkt die nächste Folge hören wollt, könnt ihr das mit einem Spiegel + Abo.

On this episode we're taking a look at a 1976 film from writer/director Nicholas Meyer that gives us a different take on Sherlock Holmes. The great detective meets up with Sigmund Freud in The Seven-Per-Cent Solution. Richard Kirkham, host of the LAMBcast joins us for our discussion, as well as some movie recommendations and a trivia game.

Wir leben im Zeitalter der Selbstanalyse. Wir nennen unsere Chefs Narzissten, fragen nach verdrängten Wünschen und wollen wissen, was unser inneres Kind heilt. Bei all diesen Fragen kommt man an einem kaum vorbei: Sigmund Freud, der Begründer der Psychoanalyse – der im Mai seinen 170. Geburtstag gefeiert hätte. Der jüdische Arzt aus Wien hat Begriffe wie das „Unbewusste“ geprägt - und damit unser modernes Selbstverständnis erschaffen. Von seiner Praxis in der Wiener Berggasse aus veränderte Freud die Welt. Er wurde gefeiert wie ein Popstar der Wissenschaft – und bekämpft wie ein Scharlatan. Aber wer war dieser Mann wirklich? In unserer Serie „Der Fall Freud“ begeben wir uns auf die Spuren jenes Mannes, der uns bis heute im Kopf herumspukt – wie kaum ein anderer Österreicher. Wir erzählen seine Geschichte. Aber wir stellen auch die Frage: Kann uns Freud heute, in einer komplexen Welt, helfen, zumindest uns selbst besser zu verstehen? Oder hat er uns mit seinen Ideen erst recht in die Irre geführt? In der ersten Folge widmen wir uns der Kindheit. Welchen Einfluss haben frühe Erfahrungen im Elternhaus darauf, wie wir später durchs Leben gehen? Was uns Angst macht? Wir wollen verstehen, wie Freud seine berühmten Theorien zur Kindheit entwickelte – zum Beispiel die vom Ödipuskomplex. Und wie er auf dem Weg zur Entdeckung des Unbewussten die Hypnose erkundet. Dazu legen wir uns selbst bei einem Wiener Psychoanalytiker auf die Couch – und lassen uns hypnotisieren. Interviewpartner: Georg Markus, Kurier-Kolumnist und Autor der Biografie »Sigmund Freud.

Join the newsletter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=YqJKtR&g=Ww3gx3   At 89 years old, Dr. Arnold Gilberg still feels 40. That is not a metaphor, it is a philosophy. I sat down with this Beverly Hills psychiatrist, ordained rabbi, and author of The Myth of Aging, trained by one of Sigmund Freud's own colleagues, to talk about the one enemy more dangerous than getting older: disengagement. What we explore:   - How disengagement, not aging itself, is the true driver of physical and mental decline. - Why curiosity is the master key to staying mentally alive as you grow older. - How self-forgiveness unlocks behavioral change that willpower alone never can. - Why psychiatry's drift toward medication alone is leaving patients behind. - Why gratitude, practiced daily, is one of the most powerful tools for vitality. - How giving yourself grace, not perfection, finally allows people to act on what they know. - What happiness really looks like across a lifetime, and why expecting constant joy backfires. - Why vulnerability between doctor and patient, not clinical distance, is what heals. About Dr. Arnold Gilberg: Arnold L. Gilberg, MD, PhD, received his bachelor's degree in political science and Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Illinois. He interned at the Los Angeles General Medical Center. He is the last person alive trained by Franz Alexander, MD, a distinguished colleague of Sigmund Freud. His psychiatric training took place at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was chief psychiatric resident. He also has a doctorate in psychoanalysis from the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute.    Dr. Gilberg is a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, the former Clinical Chief of Psychiatry at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and an associate clinical professor at UCLA School of Medicine (honorary). He served for ten years under three different governors on the Medical Board of California for LA County, and has treated thousands of patients in his Los Angeles-based practice.

No animal has made some of the smartest people ever seem more stupid than eels. This is why Steed and Jrad tell you everything you need to know in this week's Chubstep. The guys start with still being ranked in the top 10 of Tanzanian podcasts, topical/tropical storms in Saipan, and Steed's heroic rescue of a family in need and his likely familial tie to Jesus before getting to Eels. For eels the guys start with how little there still is known about how they reproduce, all coming from one location, the idiocracy of: Aristotle and Sigmund Freud, the black market around baby eels, electric eels influence on the battery, hippies powering their house with electric eels, terrible to less terrible eel meals, and eels in noses

Having officially dubbed ourselves the After Lunch Irregulars, Pax, Jacob, Michael, and Rob talk about another Sherlock Holmes movie. This one is Herbert Ross's The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, written by Nicholas Meyer, starring Nicol Williamson as Holmes, Robert Duvall as Watson, and Alan Arkin as Sigmund Freud.

In this episode of Why? Philosophical Discussions About Everyday Life, host Jack Russell Weinstein and guest Susan Sugarman explore the enduring legacy of Sigmund Freud, one of the most recognizable and controversial figures in psychology.

Abby and Patrick welcome returning guest Loren Dent. As co-director of Brooklyn's Greene Clinic, Loren is the ideal person to unpack the history, meaning, and contemporary landscape of community psychoanalysis. Drawing on Brazilian analyst Gabriel Tupenambá's idea of the “institutional circuit,” Loren walks Abby and Patrick through a history extending from Freud's hopes for a “psychoanalysis for the people” to the refugee analyst diasporas of WW2 to the interventions of Jacques Lacan to contemporary efforts to bring a community psychoanalytic orientation to analytic institutions around the United States. As Loren, Abby, and Patrick explore, the idea of community also psychoanalysis raises questions about the communities psychoanalysis can serve, communities it has previously excluded, and psychoanalytic institutions as communities in their own right. Topics include the relationship between theory, practice, and doctrine; differing national histories of psychoanalysis; ego psychology and the question of adaptation; the embededness of signifiers; hierarchies and antagonisms within analytic institutions, as well as efforts to reconstellate them; the complicated stakes of “expanding access”; burnout as both an individual condition and institutional symptom; what drives people to practice psychoanalysis in the first place, and more.More about Loren at the Greene Clinic and about his courses at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research.Works cited:Gabriel Tupinambá, The Desire of Psychoanalysis, Exercises in Psychoanalytic Thinking.Sigmund Freud, The Question of Lay Analysis.Elizabeth Ann Danto, Freud's Free Clinics: Psychoanalysis and Social Justice 1918-1938.Emily Kuriloff, Contemporary Psychoanalysis and the Legacy of the Third Reich.Resources:Foundation for Community PsychoanalysisPsychoanalytic Institute of Northern California (PINC) Community Psychoanalysis Track & ConsortiumThe Greene ClinicChicago Center for Psychoanalysis & PsychotherapyThe Kedzie Center, ChicagoWashington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis, Community Psychoanalysis Certificate ProgramBoston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute Concentration in Community PsychoanalysisDIVISION/Review, Special Issue on Community Psychoanalysis, 2022A podcast about psychoanalysis, politics, pop culture, and the ways we suffer now.

Neste episódio, exploramos o mito de Anat, uma das figuras mais inquietantes da tradição do antigo Oriente Próximo. Partindo de sua relação com Baal, mergulhamos em uma narrativa onde celebração, violência e êxtase se entrelaçam, revelando uma lógica simbólica em que criação e destruição não se opõem, mas se completam.A partir das leituras de Mircea Eliade, traçamos paralelos com outras tradições, especialmente com a figura de Durga, evidenciando a recorrência de deusas que destroem para regenerar. O episódio também dialoga com interpretações modernas, passando pelas reflexões de Camille Paglia e Sigmund Freud, que buscam compreender essas imagens à luz da psicologia e da cultura.Entre carnificina, canibalismo e transe, o mito de Anat é apresentado não como um excesso isolado, mas como expressão de uma estrutura simbólica profunda, ligada aos ciclos da natureza e às tensões entre ordem e caos.Um episódio sobre violência, fertilidade e os limites do humano diante das forças que o ultrapassam.

É um dos nomes mais valiosos da literatura portuguesa contemporânea. Estudou e trabalhou na Alemanha, foi professora catedrática em Lisboa e viveu no Brasil e em Moçambique. E só numa fase mais madura da vida, aos 41 anos, lançou o primeiro livro: “O Silêncio”, distinguido com o Prémio de Ficção do PEN Clube. Desde aí, nunca mais parou de publicar, revelando-se uma notável romancista e contista. Em 2025 publicou o 21º livro “Autobiografia não escrita de Marta Freud”, a revelar o lado sombrio de Sigmund Freud, obra premiada com o Grande Prémio da APE. Aos 86 anos, Teolinda Gersão prepara novo romance, mostra-se preocupada com as dores do mundo e lamenta que os netos tenham emigrado, porque “este país não tem futuro para eles.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“The shortest distance between you and me is a story.” — Colum McCannIn 1932, Albert Einstein wrote to Sigmund Freud asking if humanity could cure its “lust for hatred.” Freud said no. Mankind's instinct for death and destruction could not be eliminated. That said, the Viennese doctor went on, the desire to end war should never be abandoned. What was needed was a “mythology of the instincts” and a “community of feeling.” In other words: a story. The book sold 2,000 copies. By 1933, the Nazis had seized power and the two men had fled into exile.Colum McCann — National Book Award-winning novelist, author of Let the Great World Spin and American Mother — has spent the last dozen years trying to build Freud's community of feeling. His organisation, Narrative Four, now operates in 35 countries with 1,200 school partners and 285,000 participants. The method is deceptively simple: two strangers exchange personal stories, then retell each other's story in the first person. Overpowered by empathy, they realise they're not so different.At 21, Colum McCann bought a typewriter thinking he'd be the next Kerouac and produced a foot and a half of gibberish. He then went on the road and spent eighteen months cycling across America. Everyone he met wanted to tell him their story. That's his story, but not where it ends. Five Takeaways•       Einstein Asked Freud If Stories Could Prevent War: In 1932, Einstein wrote to Freud asking if humanity could cure its “lust for hatred.” Freud said no — but added that the desire to end war should never be abandoned. What was needed was a “mythology of the instincts” and a “community of feeling.” Basically: storytelling. The book sold 2,000 copies. By 1933, Hitler was in power.•       You Tell My Story, I Tell Yours: That's the Narrative Four method. Pairs of strangers exchange personal stories, then retell each other's story in the first person to the group. Something fires in the brain — dopamine, memory, imagination, empathetic engagement. It's been done 285,000 times in 35 countries. Oxford and Ohio State confirmed it: polarisation drops dramatically.•       South Bronx Kids Met Eastern Kentucky Kids. They Were Terrified: One group Black and immigrant, the other white or Cherokee. One urban, one rural. One blue, one red. Put them in a room and they're terrified of each other — until they tell a personal story. Not a didactic story, not a political argument. Something that opens up the rib cage. Then they realise they're not so different.•       Yesterday Was Big Tobacco's Moment for Social Media: The landmark court verdict on Facebook and YouTube addiction dropped the same day we recorded this conversation. McCann's son has been saying for years that social media will be the cigarettes of the future. Social media promised everyone a platform for their stories. What it delivered was isolation, loneliness, and the epidemic of kids who say “I don't have a story.”•       Stories Can Do Anything. They Can Never Take Them Away: McCann bought a typewriter at 21, thought he'd be the next Kerouac, produced a foot and a half of gibberish, and spent eighteen months cycling across America instead. He learned that everyone has a story and a deep desire to tell it. Books may go the way of opera. AI may recombine what we've already written. But they can never take away stories. About the GuestColum McCann is the author of eight novels, three collections of stories, and two works of non-fiction. Born in Dublin, he is the recipient of the US National Book Award, the International Dublin Literary Prize, and an Oscar nomination. He is the president and co-founder of Narrative Four, a global non-profit that uses storytelling to build empathy and community. He lives in New York.References:•       Narrative Four — the global story exchange organisation. Get involved, become a facilitator, or get your school on board.•       Episode 2840: What Came First: Stories or Language? — Kevin Ashton on the story before the word. McCann watched it and agrees.•       Episode 2844: Was St. Francis of Assisi the First Silicon Valley Critic? — Dan Turello on agency, embodiment, and why Dante wrote without being able to edit.•       Episode 2846: How to Be Agreeably Disagreeable — Julia Minson on disagreeing better. McCann's method is the narrative version of Minson's science.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,800 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting.WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction: Kevin Ashton, Bob Dylan, and why stories never end (02:09) - The shortest distance between you and me is a story (04:04) - How Narrative Four began: Lisa Consiglio and a question in Aspen (05:03) - The story exchange: I tell your story, you tell mine (06:41) - 35 countries, 285,000 participants, 1,200 school partners (07:59) - South Bronx meets Eastern Kentucky: terrified until they tell a story (09:11) - Radical empathy and the New York Times Magazine (10:38) - Belfast and Limerick: afraid they'd start a war (14:21) - Oxford and Ohio State: polarisation dramatically reduced (15:01) - Yesterday's Big Tobacco moment for social media (18:24) - Einstein, Freud, and the mythology of the instincts (22:45) - Can science measure the value of a story?

Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist by David Bather Woods An engaging biography of one of the most influential Western philosophers and a thought-provoking exploration of how to live with Arthur Schopenhauer's pessimism.Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) almost wasn't one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century. Born in the Free City of Danzig to a family of shipping merchants, he was destined for a life of imports and exports until his father died in a suspected suicide. After much deliberation, the young Schopenhauer invested his inheritance in himself and his philosophical vocation. But the long road to recognition was a difficult one, with Schopenhauer spending all but the last decade of his life in total obscurity. Yet his ideas and style went on to influence great thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Sigmund Freud, as well as artists such as the composer Richard Wagner and writers Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett, and many more.A singular and remarkably influential thinker, Schopenhauer is usually described as an extreme pessimist. He questioned the purpose of existence in a world where pain and suffering are inescapable and happiness is all too brief. In this engaging philosophical biography, David Bather Woods reevaluates Schopenhauer's pessimism in the context of his life experiences, revealing the philosopher's relentless fascination with the world and making a case for his contemporary relevance. Bather Woods weaves together Schopenhauer's ideas with the story of how he came to be, including such topics as love, loneliness, morality, politics, gender, sexuality, death, suicide, fame, and madness. In doing so, this book answers some of life's most challenging questions about how to deal with pain and loss, and how to live with ourselves and each other.Despite his pessimistic outlook on human existence, Schopenhauer didn't give up on life. Rather, he recognized that the question of how to live becomes even more pressing, and he worked to provide an answer. Bather Woods shows how Schopenhauer's life informed his ideas and how they still resonate today. David Bather Woods is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick. He is coeditor with Timothy Stoll of The Schopenhauerian Mind. He has contributed chapters to The Proustian Mind, Schopenhauer's Moral Philosophy, and The Palgrave Schopenhauer Handbook. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist by David Bather Woods An engaging biography of one of the most influential Western philosophers and a thought-provoking exploration of how to live with Arthur Schopenhauer's pessimism.Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) almost wasn't one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century. Born in the Free City of Danzig to a family of shipping merchants, he was destined for a life of imports and exports until his father died in a suspected suicide. After much deliberation, the young Schopenhauer invested his inheritance in himself and his philosophical vocation. But the long road to recognition was a difficult one, with Schopenhauer spending all but the last decade of his life in total obscurity. Yet his ideas and style went on to influence great thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Sigmund Freud, as well as artists such as the composer Richard Wagner and writers Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett, and many more.A singular and remarkably influential thinker, Schopenhauer is usually described as an extreme pessimist. He questioned the purpose of existence in a world where pain and suffering are inescapable and happiness is all too brief. In this engaging philosophical biography, David Bather Woods reevaluates Schopenhauer's pessimism in the context of his life experiences, revealing the philosopher's relentless fascination with the world and making a case for his contemporary relevance. Bather Woods weaves together Schopenhauer's ideas with the story of how he came to be, including such topics as love, loneliness, morality, politics, gender, sexuality, death, suicide, fame, and madness. In doing so, this book answers some of life's most challenging questions about how to deal with pain and loss, and how to live with ourselves and each other.Despite his pessimistic outlook on human existence, Schopenhauer didn't give up on life. Rather, he recognized that the question of how to live becomes even more pressing, and he worked to provide an answer. Bather Woods shows how Schopenhauer's life informed his ideas and how they still resonate today. David Bather Woods is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick. He is coeditor with Timothy Stoll of The Schopenhauerian Mind. He has contributed chapters to The Proustian Mind, Schopenhauer's Moral Philosophy, and The Palgrave Schopenhauer Handbook.

History Month continues on Friends Talking Nerdy as The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd take a deep dive into the fascinating History of Psychology—a field that shapes how we understand ourselves, our behavior, and the human mind.The episode begins with a discussion about a common criticism of psychology: the claim that the discipline is “still in its infancy.” The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd unpack what people mean when they say this and explore why that argument can sometimes be used to dismiss the value of psychological research altogether. That leads to an exploration of psychology's roots in philosophy. The hosts discuss how early philosophers spent centuries asking questions about consciousness, identity, perception, and human behavior. In many ways, psychology is philosophy that adopted the scientific method—testing ideas through observation, experimentation, and evidence rather than purely through debate and speculation.From there, the conversation moves into the emergence of psychology as its own scientific discipline. The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd examine the work of Wilhelm Wundt, the pioneering researcher who helped establish psychology as an independent field. His laboratory work and experimental approach laid the groundwork for psychology to be studied as a measurable science.No conversation about the history of psychology would be complete without discussing Sigmund Freud. The hosts talk about Freud's enormous influence on popular understanding of the human mind while also acknowledging the major flaws in his methods. Freud often attempted to prove his own theories rather than test them objectively, which created serious limitations in the scientific credibility of some of his conclusions. Even so, his work sparked discussions about the unconscious mind that still echo throughout psychology today.The discussion continues with Carl Jung, whose ideas about archetypes, the collective unconscious, and symbolic patterns in human behavior helped expand the psychological conversation in new directions. The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd explore why Jung's work continues to influence modern psychology, literature, storytelling, and even pop culture.The episode also takes a modern turn as the hosts address how social media and meme culture have changed the way people talk about psychology. Psychological terms like “narcissist,” “trauma,” and “OCD” are frequently thrown around in memes and viral posts, often stripped of their clinical meaning. The hosts discuss how this casual misuse of terminology can muddy the waters, making it harder for people to understand legitimate psychological conditions and potentially complicating the process of proper diagnosis.By the end of the episode, The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd make the case that psychology is neither a perfect science nor a meaningless one. Instead, it is an evolving discipline built on centuries of philosophical thinking and modern scientific inquiry—one that continues to refine how we understand the human experience.If you've ever wondered where psychology came from, why people argue about its credibility, or how internet culture has reshaped the way we talk about mental health, this episode offers a thoughtful and entertaining journey through the ideas that shaped the field.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Born in 1856 in a small town of the Austrian Empire, Sigmund Freud grew up to become the man who dared to explore the mysterious depths of the human mind. Through his groundbreaking ideas on the unconscious mind, dreams, and hidden desires, Freud forever changed how humanity understands thoughts, emotions, and behavior. His revolutionary theory of psychoanalysis opened a new path in psychology and inspired generations of thinkers, therapists, writers, and philosophers around the world. From his early medical studies in Vienna to his final years in exile in London during the rise of Nazism, Freud's life was a relentless quest to uncover the secrets of the human soul. In this fascinating episode, we journey through the remarkable life of the man who transformed our understanding of dreams, memory, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.

Abby and Patrick welcome novelist and academic Jordy Rosenberg to discuss his brand-new novel, Night Night Fawn. Alternately hilarious and devasting, Night Night Fawn is written in the voice of Barbara Rosenberg, an embittered New York Jewish woman penning a deathbed memoir that documents her many disappointments and frustrations – with life, love, friendship, money, and, above all her trans son, whom she hallucinates as a large and ominous bird. Night Night Fawn is also incredibly overdetermined with respect to genre, representing an effort on Rosenberg's part to write from the perspective of a fictionalized version of his own mother. On yet another level, it's a sustained interrogation of the complex and painful interactions between material conditions and ideological systems, the forces that shape our experiences of family, class, religion, and ethnicity, and the specific histories of twentieth century American Jewishness as it relates to Zionism and the horrors of our twenty-first century present. In this wide-ranging conversation, Abby, Patrick, and Jordy discuss the social reproduction of bigotry; the relationship between ethnonationalism and the heteropatriarchal family form; the ethics and aesthetics of representation; the contemporary landscape of the political novel, and much, much more.Selected Works Cited:Jordy Rosenberg, Night Night Fawn: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/689017/night-night-fawn-by-jordy-rosenberg/ Rosenberg, Confessions of the Fox: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/556691/confessions-of-the-fox-by-jordy-rosenberg/Rosenberg, “Gender Trouble on Mother's Day”: https://avidly.org/2014/05/09/gender-trouble-on-mothers-day/Rosenberg, “The Daddy Dialectic”: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-daddy-dialectic/Sigmund Freud, “Mourning and Melancholia”Karl Marx, Capital, Vol ILeon Trotsky, “Literature and Revolution”Have you noticed that Freud is back?

En février, la Haute Autorité de santé a formellement recommandé d'abandonner la psychanalyse pour prendre en charge l'autisme. Théorisée à la fin du 19e siècle par Sigmund Freud, la psychanalyse est utilisée depuis les années 1960 pour traiter plusieurs troubles infantiles, notamment l'autisme et le TDAH, le trouble de déficit de l'attention. L'idée, c'est que ces troubles seraient liés à un lien parent/enfant défaillant. Or, depuis plusieurs années, de plus en plus de parents protestent contre ces pratiques thérapeutiques qui les culpabilisent et qui peuvent retarder le diagnostic de leurs enfants. Pourquoi la psychanalyse est sous le feu des critiques ? Comment faut-il prendre en charge ces troubles infantiles ?

Ready to master the art of influence, sales, and identity-driven persuasion? In this high-impact preview from Travis Makes Friends, Travis sits down with sales performance expert Jeremy Miner and entrepreneur Paul Allen for a deep dive into the psychology behind decision-making, framing, and unlocking human potential. Jeremy unpacks the power of identity framing—a concept rooted in the work of Sigmund Freud—and explains why people don't just buy products… they buy in alignment with who they believe they are. He reveals tactical examples of how to shift a prospect's self-perception in real time, neutralize objections before they surface, and build someone into the identity of a decisive buyer, leader, or high performer. From handling self-belief objections to preventing the classic “I need to talk to my spouse” stall, Jeremy breaks down how subtle language shifts can completely transform conversations in sales, leadership, and even personal relationships. Paul then shares a powerful mindset reframe from his own entrepreneurial journey—how changing the words he used about investor meetings transformed his energy, confidence, and results, ultimately helping him raise over $15 million. He introduces the philosophy behind Soar AI Studio, inspired by the groundbreaking strengths-based psychology of Donald O. Clifton, and explains why most people have untapped talents they were never taught to recognize. Instead of focusing on what's “wrong” with people, Paul explores what happens when you build systems—powered by AI—to amplify what's already right. You'll hear insights on: How to use identity framing to guide decisions without manipulation Why objections often stem from self-perception, not logic The language shifts that reshape workplace culture and leadership Reframing sales conversations from pressure to opportunity The future of AI as a tool for unlocking human strengths If you want to sell more effectively, lead more powerfully, and communicate in a way that reshapes how people see themselves, this preview gives you a front-row seat to a conversation that blends behavioral psychology, high-level sales strategy, and visionary thinking about human potential. Hit play and get ready to rethink how influence really works.Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZlKEGaec3M&t=2014s Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Families are fascinating: how those first bonds shape our understanding of love, security and ourselves. In this episode, we revisit episodes with Bella Freud and Danny Dyer, who each open up about the simultaneous beauty and complexity of family life. Bella Freud, speaks about losing both of her parents to cancer within a week. As the great granddaughter of Sigmund Freud and the eldest sibling, she reflects on a complex childhood, the responsibilities she carried and how grief reshaped her sense of identity. Secondly, we hear from Danny Dyer, who shares what it was like growing up on a council estate with a single mother. He discusses the shock of discovering his father had another family and how the absence of love in his early years shaped the devoted parent he is today. Family dynamics can feel messy and taboo, but I hope this episode offers reassurance, validation and insight into the ties that form us first and stay with us for life.

Peter Robbins returns to the show to continue our discussion about Wilhelm Reich. We talk about Peters' latest book, called Deception, and do get into varies discussion about UFO's, and then get into Reich, Cloudbusting, and UFO's.Peter Robbins was first introduced to the books of Wilhelm Reich as a teenager by a college roommate, to whom he remains deeply indebted. In 1976 he met Dr. Elsworth F. Baker, Reich's first assistant for the last eleven years of his life. Soon after this he became a patient of Dr. Baker and entered into almost seven years of medical orgone therapy with the distinguished orgonomist.Robbins went on to enroll in the classes New York University offered in scientific and social orgonomy which was taught by the Reich scholars Professors John Bell and Paul Matthews. They in turn invited him to become a member of their ongoing Seminar in Social and Scientific Orgonomy, patterned after the seminars which Sigmund Freud presided over during the nineteen twenties. Peter spent much of the nineteen eighties involved with this group, presenting a variety of papers to his fellow seminar members under Matthews' and Bell's guidance and leadership.Peter was a volunteer fundraiser for the American College of Orgonomy's (ACO) Building Fund and had two papers on Wilhelm Reich and UFOs published in the Journal of Orgonomy. He was part of a select group of volunteers invited to witness a demonstration of cloudbusting technology and presented on the subject of Reich and UFOs at the ACO's Princeton NJ facility, and at international conferences on the life and work of Reich in New York City, Ashland Oregon, Niece France and Karavomilos Greece. His lectures have been well received at numerous scientific and UFO conferences both here and abroad while his articles on the subject have been published in a variety of print and web publications. Robbins' extensively researched paper, “Politics, Religion and Human Nature: Practical Problems and Roadblocks on the Path Toward Official UFO Acknowledgment” is scheduled to be published in the upcoming issue of Annals of the Institute for Orgonomic Science.

Most of us spend some part of our lives feeling bad about ourselves and wanting to feel better. But this preoccupation is a surprisingly new one in the history of the world, and can largely be traced back to one man: a rumpled, convertible-driving California state representative named John Vasconcellos who helped spark a movement that took over schools, board rooms, and social-service offices across America in the 1990s. This week, we look at the rise and fall of the self-esteem movement and ask: is it possible to raise your self-esteem? And is trying to do so even a good idea?Special thanks to big thank you to the University of California, Santa Barbara Library for use of audio material from their Humanistic Psychology Archives and to their staff for helping located so many audio recordings. EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Heather Radke and Matt Kielty Produced by - Matt KietlyFlute performance and compositions by -  Ben BatchelderVoiceover work by - Dann FinkFact-checking by - Anna Pujol-Mazzini and  Angely Mercadoand Edited by  - Pat WaltersEPISODE CITATIONS:Articles - UCSB Humanistic Psychology Archive (https://zpr.io/HfVjUmvcVevE)Books - Selfie: How We Became So Self-Obsessed and What It's Doing to Us (https://zpr.io/eGRyqz9zNQHu) by Will Storr.
