How to live in a World Run by Psychopaths RIF on BettBeat Media Psychlib ep.16

Exploring Global Conflict, Media Critique, and Psychological Insights

In this episode, Sacha and Benji are guests of Karim and Peter, our friends at BettBeat Media. We discuss pressing global issues from a psychological perspective, as you'd expect when four psychologists meet , including the ongoing Palestinian genocide, being governed by psychopaths, and the complexities surrounding international responses.

Our conversation navigates through geopolitical analysis, psychological perspectives, and the lack of apparent action from global powers like China and Russia. We also delve into what it means to provide psychological support for resistance, narcissism, psychopathy at the top and the broader societal and personal implications of the current mess. We face squarely critical questions about moral responsibilities, collective humanity, and the role of communities in putting an end to global injustice, colonialism and genocide.
