About Skeptical Thinker Podcast

Welcome to Skeptical Thinker. A podcast where we dispel misconceptions and respect your ability to think critically about the world and everything in it! Being a skeptical thinker is so much more important today with all of the misinformation in social media. If you can't use your mind and intelligence to dig deeper into issues, you run the risk of being misled. Skepticism is all about asking questions , and being unwilling to believe without conclusive evidence. A skeptical person regularly asks themselves, "could I be wrong?"

   Carl Jung and Gender Expansiveness

   Hi, today's podcast is about how the thoughts and ideas of Carl Jung can be looked at in terms of how they best fit with the ideas of today's gender expansive community. Leah had the day off, so Mellony took over to explain some changes in S.T.P. We're still here, just so busy these last few months!

   HumanKind Part 2

   Hi there! This week, Jamie and Leah are going into another section of the book Humankind, by Rutger Bregman. Today, we look at the Stanford Experiment, the Robber's Cave Experiment, Stanley Milgram's Shock Machine, and how all this seems to point to the fact that humans are generally bad if you break through the thin surface veneer. Here's the bibiographical information about the book: Bregman, R. (2021). Humankind: A Hopeful History. And here's some other things we referred to in the podcast this week: Neff, K. D. (2011). Self-Compassion: the proven power of being kind to yourself.
