- The Fast Lane
China: A New World Order (Screening & Discussion)
BBC Documentary Series, Episode 1 of 3.
Six years ago, a man largely unknown in the west was given one of the most important jobs in the world. China’s new president, Xi Jinping, became the leader of a rising superpower, commander of a formidable military, and the head of an economy that’s crucial to people’s lives around the world.
This programme tells the extraordinary story of his controversial six-year rule, and how he set about transforming China into a tightly controlled state where loyalty to the Communist Party appears to be valued above everything else.

- Can You See Sociopathy on a Brain Scan? w/Annika
I’ll explain how that’s possible, and show you all some interesting studies where they’ve been able to find the chaos of cluster b personality disorders in certain brain regions. These studies go a long way in showing us the “why” behind disregulated behavior, or the “how” that makes people with antisocial personality struggle to perceive distress in others. Also, just how insecure and worthless do malignant narcissists like Donald Trump actually feel deep down? Narcissists can lie, but MRIs don’t.
