Hi there! In this long-awaited episode, Mellony and Leah spend some time finishing up the book HumanKind by Rutger Bregman

Here's a link to Bregman's Website

Enjoy!

Hi, today's podcast is about how the thoughts and ideas of Carl Jung can be looked at in terms of how they best fit with the ideas of today's gender expansive community.

Leah had the day off, so Mellony took over to explain some changes in S.T.P. We're still here, just so busy these last few months!

Hi there! This week, Jamie and Leah are going into another section of the book Humankind, by Rutger Bregman. Today, we look at the Stanford Experiment, the Robber's Cave Experiment, Stanley Milgram's Shock Machine, and how all this seems to point to the fact that humans are generally bad if you break through the thin surface veneer.

Here's the bibiographical information about the book:

Bregman, R. (2021). Humankind: A Hopeful History.

And here's some other things we referred to in the podcast this week:
