Inside Out - Conditions of worth, depression, and mourning
The guys are still holed in their Covid safety bunker, and they talk about Riley from Inside Out. Is Riley depressed? Is her sense of her worth tied up in her being happy all the time? What happens if our mind-trains fall into the forgetfulness hole? They also talk about mourning, the phenomenology of depression, Carl Rogers, and Osmosis Jones. They also discuss mini-beefs with the film, and Scott and Jared quibble about the nature of the unconscious. Also, there is a parrot.
