Five years after his last podcast, Steven Reisner returns, reporting from Berlin – the city that unleashed the devils of the 20th century – to explain how, today, America is losing its mind. Drawing on Freud, Shakespeare, Heidegger, Elon Musk and Marc Andreesson, Reisner traces the collapse of the enlightenment values that once held fascism at bay: conscience, guilt, empathy, self-reflection. According to Reisner, the second coming of Donald Trump threatens to transform America into an extension of his own mind, heralding a great cultural transition: the age of psychosis.
