What's up crispy babies and welcome to the nervous racks? Yeah, that's a horrible intro but I could that might just work is that jingly enough?

Oh man, crazy world that we're living in and America is crumbling like the house of cards and we don't really I think that we are a very immature country because we're only 300 years old and we act very immature

The whole world's laughing at us.

shit's crazy. You know I'm not political I don't know anything but shit is

crazier than a motherfucker but I that's why this episode was Sheldon Solomon

is so interesting to me. I found this professor on a documentary I was watching.

I hear this guy on this documentary his voice comes on and I'm like oh this guy's interesting and then it

shows him talking about

Greed and power and money and all the shit it was fascinating it's on a YouTube channel called

DW it's a German YouTube channel that does documentaries and it was called

greed if you want to check it out check it it's interesting. Anyway and this professor's on and I was like yeah this dude's

dope and then I do some recon he's not on Twitter he's not on Instagram. I'm like oh I like this guy he's

mysterious he's not plugged in So I find all these lectures on

YouTube of this guy and I'm like, dude, this is my favorite college professor I've never had.

Who is this guy? Sheldon Solomon at Skidmore University and he's like out of an 80s movie with the

tie-dye shirt and he's saying man and dude and but he's brilliant.

So anywho, I, after watching, you know, hours and hours of his YouTube videos on terror management

theory, which we'll talk about, which is something that Ernest Becker wrote about in denial of death, some really big picture of heady

shit about why we do what we do when we do it as humans and it's basically all, I'm not going to

as regurgitate it wrong, I'll let Sheldon explain it better than I could. But anyway,

fascinating dude. I call up my boy Chris Ryan to see if he knows him. He's like, like yeah i've had him on the pod so

i said oh yeah i've heard him on the pod i didn't realize that was him
