Summary

Jeremy Sherman is a Ph.D. in evolutionary epistemology. He describes himself as a cradle-to-grave science researcher studying the unbroken chain, from the origins of life to humankind's grave situation today. He has written over 1,000 articles for Psychology Today’s 9 million readers on everyday practicalities. Jeremy also lived for 7 years in an eco-village commune in Tennessee known as “The Farm”, where its 1400 residents elected him to a leadership role at just 24 years old. For the past 25 years, he has been a close research collaborator with Harvard and Berkeley neuroscientist Terrence Deacon. Jeremy says he’s all about making advanced ideas intuitive, practical, and funny because from a natural science perspective, the human condition is pretty ironic. His latest book is called "What's up with Assholes? Advanced Psycho-Proctology For Beginners” Jeremy joins Rachel to share his unique insights into narcissistic leaders, the social and psychological dynamics of the high control groups they run, and the effect their pathologies have on followers. Jeremy offers his perspective of cultic dynamics through the lens of his field of evolutionary epistemology comparing notes with Rachel as she notices corresponding findings from her experience working with cult survivors. Before You Go: Rachel explores further Jeremy's ideas surrounding the dangers of shamelessness as a trait in leaders and the cumbersome nature of conscience.

0:11.1	I'm your host, Rachel Bernstein.
0:13.6	Hi, everyone. Before I introduce the guest for today, I wanted actually to thank people in Ireland for becoming great listeners of the show.
0:23.9	I try to track the numbers as much as I can about where our show is listened to the most,
0:30.5	where the numbers are going up and down, just based on interest and based on the content of the shows.
0:36.2	And whenever the numbers go up, it always makes me
0:38.6	wonder why that might be. And what about the show or the episode spoke to people in a
0:44.4	particular part of our world? So, if you are listening in Ireland, feel free to shoot us an
0:51.1	email and let us know what's resonating about it for you. You can email us
0:55.5	at Indctrination Show at gmail.com. Thank you. Thank you very much.

2:06.0	Here's Jeremy now.
2:11.6	I am so excited to have Jeremy Sherman with me today. I found it to be serendipity. I was doing some research
2:27.2	actually for a podcast episode and was looking at particular ideas. Came across an article that you had written.
2:37.4	And just as you described things, I thought, this is someone, I feel I have a lot to relate to,
2:46.6	relate with, just the way you described some of the things that you were describing. I mean,
2:51.5	just the terminology, the way you looked at it. And so I decided to reach out to you to see if you
