Far be it from us to bring back a topic everyone else has predictably forgot about after saying they never would... but here we are, because here is where we must be.

In this episode that's been far too long in the making, we use good old Jeff Epstein as an example to talk about people who understand morality as an illusory construct and those whose don't - and why it results in those who don't failing to correctly comprehend and contextualize the behavior of those who do. Equally importantly, we also cover the facts and fictions around the historically recurring popular belief that the world is run by "evil people".

In this talk, we make a lot of ties back to prior discussions on morality and prior oft used analogies like the Snowpiercer train (with no additional recap or explanation), so it's important to be caught up on the rest of the podcast before jumping into this episode.

“One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. 'Good' is no longer good when one's neighbor mouths it. And how should there be a 'common good'! The term contradicts itself: whatever can be common always has little value. In the end it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
