Sean In The Middle - Are We All Narcissists?

In this episode, Sean K Mittelstaedt joins to discuss a pathology that he believes can be instructive when thinking broadly about society and culture. The inability for us to mature as Citizens and Subjects, the inability to invest time in the reflexive process of developing an Identity and reckoning with it, the inability to find a source of succor in the things most immediate to us; are keeping “us” trapped in a juvenile Narcissism that is only accelerated and intensified by The Churn. Things came up, such as Pseudo-Communities, Pseudo-Traditions, and Pseudo-Conservatism, that we will be reconvening to discuss in a follow up to this episode soon, so stay tuned for that; but for now give this one a listen, and a think, and share your thoughts below!Thanks, Sean, I’m glad you shared this with me and the listeners/viewers/readers following along at home - I always get a lot out of talking with you! I’m looking forward to the next one!!Thanks for reading TBN! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.
