Description

Psychologist Dr. John Gartner joins Dash to break down the evolutionary reasons humans may be drawn into ruthless authoritarian movements. Even Chimpanzees showed an allegiance towards aggressive and often violent alpha-males. From 1930s Germany to ancient civilizations -- differing ideologies and religions continue to be pinned against one-another by powerful demagogues. Are psychological factors --  that can be traced back to our primate ancestors -- still at play?

What is Truth? A term that’s become harder to define in the muddy waters of the 21st century. UTT Podcast interviews leading experts in the fields of psychology, medicine, cults, and evolution to disseminate facts from fiction. We unpack the brainwashing tactics deployed by demagogues and corporate entities, to the origins of sinister conspiracies such as Reptilians and testosterone myths. Did our earliest ancestors grapple with this question of truth, too? Or has modern society, and all of its perils, forever blurred the lines?
