Author Jon Atack, along with his son Sam, his assistant Spike, and his amazing guests, show how to spot, avoid, and overcome exploitative persuasion of all kinds and comment on authoritarian beliefs, and on culture and aesthetics. This channel also features Yuval Laor, Ph.D.'s groundbreaking work on belief, awe, and fervor, and interviews with many experts on authoritarian cults. BANNING POLICY: while we value opposing viewpoints and welcome *polite* disagreement, we will NOT tolerate personal attacks, foul language, or hate speech. Typically we will issue a warning on the first offense, but suitably insulting material, obvious trolling, or a generally snotty attitude, will result in an immediate ban. In short, if you can't be civil, you can't play.
