In today’s episode we are looking at...

What’s the underlying premise of the project? What is social trust and pathological behaviours?

We are also going to identify who are these arseholes? And ask the questions why are there too many?

We will explore what events and cultural changes have occurred over recent history that has brought us to this social pandemic and let’s together start to explore themes and lessons from our past.

What can we learn from neuroscience, psychology and anthropology to help base this better conversation in fact and peer reviewed research?

What knowledge and words have we lost from our past societies that would help us identify, understand and manage these pathological behaviours now?

And how to start having better conversations with those you trust about the arseholes in our lives?

In today’s episode we are taking a good look at who these arseholes are.

After having a quick look at the statistics, the history of the terms psychopath and sociopath and going through a behavioural checklist, we’ll tackle the question ‘Is an arsehole a person or a behaviour?

What does a spectrum of pathological behaviours look like?

We’ll also play with some charts to help us align in how we identify who gets the arsehole tag and who doesn't, and we’ll finish up with how to spot an arsehole and what psychologists recommend we do.

In today’s episode we are taking a brief look at the human civilisation journey, how we created societies and the genetic and social evolutions behind this. We also look at the social leadership experiments and how nations rose and fell. And finally ask a few questions regarding what has happened to us since the advent of the industrial, capitalist and technology eras.

In today’s episode we attempt to make the assertion ‘Why are there too many arseholes?’

We look a bit closer at social trust and the complications that arise for how we prioritize different levels of trust.

We then take a long walk-through modern day trust associations from personal through to global. Highlighting why, in today’s world, are we submitting to you that there are just too many arseholes making too many decisions that are serving their hyper-capitalist agendas with drastic effects on our humanity.

In today’s episode we start to build an understanding of what is the science behind all this? We have a quick look at the history and the early interpretations of what our brains do. We get a better understanding of mirror and Von Economo neurons. How technology has aided in scanning the brain and identifying pathological patterns. We also look at the various ways our brain can be impacted through accidents, abuse and poor choices and finally what current options we have to recover through therapy. We also want to apologize in advance for mispronounced words and names. This is a science and scientists focus episode, so we are trying our best.

In today’s episode we challenge our social memory and explore the progression and regression of our social maturity through our past. We take some insights from the people of the !Kung tribes from the Kalahari Desert and find other modern-day examples. We also draw correlations between the great men of the past and the great men of today. Don’t stress, they’re not positive ones.

We examine the different models of decentralised power structures and democracies compared to centralised power structures and tyranny. And finally bring it all together with some good news... For once!

Today's episode is an English lesson, but not one you ever had at school.

We are going to go on a word hunt, and look at how word definitions can be changed and weaponised.

We unpack our current word usage and open the floor for improvements. We review some recent political rhetoric and then explore how we can move this better conversation forward.

Lastly, this episode is a language episode, so, feel free to have a laugh as we attempt these pronunciations.

Today we start to apply all this new knowledge and develop these new perspectives. We start with approaching this new view from a place of empathy and we dive into authentic and inauthentic people. With these new insights we reflect on ourselves and the wider world around us. It’s this new perspective that will underpin these better conversations we want to have.
