S2 E12. Dante Daily: There Ain't No Rest For The Wicked (Canto 21)

In this Canto we descend further into the Malebolge and encounter the barrators, crooked politicians hiding from reality in a sea of pitch. We discuss rest, peace, repentance, mental health, Aquinas on hating and loving yourself, how Machiavelli influences even “good” politicians, and why Socrates held tyrants to be the most wretched of men.
