Breaking History Ep. 11: The Subtle Evil of Behaviorism and Statistical Thinking
In this episode of Breaking History, Sean and I break down the ugly roots of the behaviorism, the technocrats managing the Biden administration and the role of B.F. Skinner, whose school of psychology played into a false opposition to the Freudian school of psycho-analysis on individual levels as well as on group dynamics.

Thank you, Matt listened the whole way through and shared profusely! So glad for you 2.
These discussions on behaviorism are enthralling. Although my first degree was in electrical engineering, I took philosophy classes for purely personal reasons. So many professors held up Skinner, or Dennett as gods. Since these clowns were materialists and didn’t believe in the existence of a soul or intelligent design, I found this ironic and quite surprising.
Some people feel empowered by believing that only fools believe in a soul that transcends bodily existence. It soothes them to think others are engaging in wishful thinking.
I was struck by Ignace Lepp’s book about Death and its mysteries. Along the lines of Teilhard de Chardin’s musing that perhaps we can evolve our souls, I’m thinking there are an awful lot of NPCs in the world and then there’s a bunch of us seeking, struggling, striving to develop and grow a soul that will either reincarnate or depart to another timeline or dimension for continued exploration and development.
We’re lucky to have a few Ehret’s in the world to help spot us in the intellectual weight room of life.
