Really True FictionSomething's Not Right - (Shutter Island)David wanted a Scorsese, so we did a Scorsese! In this episode we (obviously) focus mostly on mental health and what constitutes insanity. We talk about this as focused on an individual as well as a society (of course using the Nazi's as the case study of collective insanity). We also discuss what makes someone like Teddy in the movie and someone like Anders Brevik in real life different.

Atlas Shrugged has lots of interesting ideas scattered within a book that is almost impossible to read. More than any other episode we have done, we sincerely encourage you not to read this novel; if for no other reason than your own sanity. However, the underlying philosophy of Atlas Shrugged, Objectivism, is super interesting and important and very much worth diving into. With all that laid out on the table, we think you can very much enjoy this episode...
