Episode 3

Consider the Clam

Published on: 21st December, 2020

Brandon and his second guest investigate the limitations of empathy by considering perspectives of all kinds. Nothing is off-limits, as they imagine what it's like to be clams, otters, and other members of the animal kingdom, while addressing the difficulty of attempting to understand our fellow humans and even our closest confidantes. Their conversation ultimately spans:

- the fluid nature of identity

- reevaluating privilege

- introversion vs extroversion

- the difficulty of navigating the mental health landscape

- the potential of psychedelics


and various other ramblings!

About the Podcast

Impostors Anonymous
For the impostor in all of us.
Impostors Anonymous is an exploration of where conversation leads when we attempt to leave our identities at the door. This project aims to limit the audience's ability to be misguided by preconceived notions and labels, allowing for a focus on direct experience and the character of content. While any topic is on the table from any perspective, common themes will include consciousness, mitigating human suffering, and the unraveling of our group and internal identities.
