Made Timid | Perilous World Radio 6-26-25

In the latest episode of "Perilous World Radio," hosts David and Jan Masters examined the widespread issue of intimidation within society. They explored various ways intimidation presents itself across different cultures, including the dynamics where one culture exerts pressure on another, as well as its prevalence in political discussions. Notably, even high-ranking officials, including the president, can be subject to these intimidating pressures, reflecting a broader societal challenge.
Jan highlighted that intimidation fundamentally revolves around the attempt to exert power over others. She pointed out that humans do not possess inherent power comparable to that of a deity; rather, we are endowed with the essence of life itself. Throughout history, the yearning for power over others has influenced personal and societal relationships, spanning families, governments, and diverse social constructs. This pursuit of dominance often drives individuals to utilize intimidation as a means to fulfill their objectives.
Listeners are invited to join Jan and David as they delve into contemporary societal pressures and the notion that life itself can be intimidating. Additionally, David shares audio clips from his father, Roy Masters, which provide further insight into this topic.
