You are not who you think you are.... Identity is not a static thing. This means who you "are" can be changed, for better and for worse. This episode is on how to free yourself from unwanted tendencies and move closer to an individuated Self. We draw on lessons from the literal book on brainwashing (Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism by Robert J. Lifton), Existential Kink, and a weird thing called "dicing."
