Thu, 05 Sep 2024
In this episode of Sins and Virtues, we're tackling the fiery emotion of Wrath. Join Pete and Tommy as they delve into the history and psychology behind this powerful emotion, exploring its destructive potential and its surprising presence in pop culture.From ancient Greek philosophers to modern-day action heroes, the guys examine how wrath has been perceived and portrayed throughout history. They discuss the cathartic appeal of violent media, questioning whether indulging in fictional fury actually influences real-world aggression.Tommy shares a personal anecdote about experiencing wrath while driving, particularly the phenomenon of the "beep back." This leads to a thought-provoking discussion about the triggers and consequences of road rage, and whether a little tire-deflating superpower might come in handy sometimes (hypothetically speaking, of course).Tune in for a captivating conversation that explores the multifaceted nature of wrath, its potential for both harm and entertainment, and the delicate balance between righteous anger and destructive rage. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.
