Trapped in Our Meat Suits
As humans, we are constantly taking in stimuli and are at the mercy of our bodies; this fact allows powerful individuals and groups to control us and change our biology through our environment to fit their narrative. Is it better to relieve all individual accountability and let a higher power take over? Would the benefits to society be worth the condemnation of individuals and is there a way to have our cake and eat it too? What are the dangers of this, and how are we already being groomed to behave in conditioned ways? In this episode, Jacob and Dom(inick) talk about real-world and fictional narratives that show the dangers and exploitation of the human form by a group in power.
