Summary

Travis and Jack are joined by Devin O’Shea to examine why even powerful billionaires like Peter Thiel and Jeffrey Epstein seek increasingly exclusive associations. Devin turns to the anthropological work The Power of Ritual in Prehistory: Secret Societies and Origins of Social Complexity by Brian Hayden to show how and why societies develop groups that declare themselves keepers of esoteric knowledge. How is this related to why Universities can’t seem to prevent dangerous fraternity hazing rituals? If you don’t want to join Kappa Sigma to find out, you could listen to this episode instead.
