Suicidal Empathy

In this episode I talk about suicidal empathy, the idea that western civilization has lost its will to survive. I reference a couple of books that are pertinent to the subject and hope you don't find things too depressing. There's a brief update on election primaries and a raft of headlines that should provide you with a laugh or two as we sink into the abyss. This episode's cultural recommendation is one of my favorite songs by the then progressive rock band, Genesis. As I am so very fond of dozens of their songs, you'll have to listen to find out which one I chose. Enjoy!
