The Psychopath Machine
from The Underclass Podcast · host Austin Wade Picard
Our current reality is far stranger than fiction. Manchurian candidates, programmed assassins, manufactured mercenaries, secret government programs, and a careful systematic assault being waged on the human psyche... As Jon Ronson wrote in his book, 'The Psychopath Test': "Suddenly, madness was everywhere, and I was determined to learn about the impact it had on the way society evolves...psychopaths make the world go round...society is an expression of that particular sort of madness...I've always believed society to be a fundamentally rational thing, but what if it isn't? What if it is built on insanity?" Support the show'Silence is Acquiescence' Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540/support.
