This was a RANDOM episode that Jaxon and Max recorded in a hotel room in Gulf Shores, AL. Jaxon came down to fill in on drums with Max's band, The Velcro Pygmies.
The audio is nowhere near the level of our standards, but we enjoyed the conversation so much that we decided to share it anyway. Please forgive us, we were using a new audio interface.... :( Also, Max did NOT "censor" the bad words in the editing process.

In this stand-alone episode, Jaxon and Max discuss the hypothesis of “Mass Formation” posited by Dr. Mattias Desmet. This Mass Formation can be described as crowd psychosis or mass hypnosis.
Dr. Desmet suggests that there are four element that must be in place in order for the Mass Formation to occur.
1) There needs to a lot of socially isolated people or people who experience a lack of social bond
2) People who experience a lack of ‘sense making’. Unable to come to sensible conclusions.
3) There is a lot of Free-Floating Anxiety (FFA). Free-Floating because there’s nothing to connect their anxiety to. No focal point. Unable to identify what’s causing and so no way to deal with it.
4) There’s also a lot of Free-Floating Psychological-Discontent. People may experience their daily lives as lacking any purpose or meaning
Dr. Mattias Desmet is a professor of Psychology at the University of Ghent in Belgium.
Here’s the link to the article that got Max thinking about the topic as the subject of an episode.

The modern zombie virus is here. We are all infected. Zombies are rampant in our new world. Their only goal is to CONSUME. They have no regard for the people around them that may suffer from their actions. Are we the Walking BRAIN Dead?
In this standalone episode, Jaxon and Max discuss the parallels between society’s current mindset and traditional fictional zombies. Too many of us walk around with tunnel vision, oblivious to the rest of the world. It’s time to take off the blinders and examine how to move past the never ending cycle of consumption for the sake of consuming.

In this stand alone episode, Jaxon and Max discuss wrestling with fear and how to manage it. By learning to accept the fear and not fighting it, you begin to understand that fear is a fundamental part of the human experience.
They cite philosopher Alan Watts frequently throughout this episode. We would highly recommend that you read any of his books and/or listen to his lectures. Here is a link to one of his lecutures.

In this stand alone episode, Jaxon and Max discuss the use and potential for abuse of “illegal” substances. Substances of all sorts have been used to alter the mind of the user throughout the history of humanity. As an addict Max shares his experience with alcoholism in this context.
