July 21, 2021 Chris, Kevin, Jason, Jess, and Adam Season 3 Episode 26
The Regrettable Century
Treating the Symptoms of Capitalism: Mental Illness, Therapy, Psychedelics, and Mysticism
Show Notes

This week we sat down with Lost Horizons  comrade and Red Library Alumnus, Adam to talk about mental illness as a social problem, but we ended up talking about a lot more. We cover the less than stellar performance of SSRIs, Hezychasm, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, communism, exercise, and therapy. Ultimately we concluded that there is no liberation from mental illness without the abolition of capitalism.
