011. A Formula For Evil: Or What John Wick Teaches Us About Good And Bad

What if the line between good and evil isn’t as clear as we like to think? In this episode, Dave Flenagan and Zoe Hirsch unravel Dr. Stef Huber's captivating article on the duality of human nature, inspired by the morally complex character of John Wick. Are we born good or evil, or is it more complicated than that? Drawing on philosophical and psychological perspectives, Dr. Huber explores how evil actions often arise from a mix of neurobiological, personal, and social influences. She argues that the potential for darkness exists in all of us, but true morality lies in recognizing and mastering these inner shadows. Dave and Zoe dig deep into this provocative idea, challenging the notion that morality is about suppressing our darker impulses. Instead, they explore how confronting and understanding them can lead to greater integrity and growth. What happens when we face our inner “monsters” instead of denying them? And how does this shape our understanding of good and evil? Tune in to confront the complexities of human nature, learn how to embrace your own shadows, and discover how accepting this duality can lead to deeper empathy and personal transformation.
