One of my favorite podcasts @thedissenteryt.bsky.social covering philosophy and politics has joined Bluesky. It also has interviews from (in my opinion) a philosophical perspective on other things from physics to biology to cognitive science. And it just had an episode on my research interest 😍

I highly recommend the whole interview. Dr. Mikkel has spent years studying Freud's reports so he knows what he's talking about. As mentioned in the video, Freud was very suggestive when he dealt with his patients, often convincing them in ways that could "prove" his ideas. youtu.be/jJvLcNeDtKE?...
