The Bridge with Kira: Alt-media cults and more

Tom Secker and I had the great pleasure of joining Kira Young on her radio show The Bridge.  This time around we continued our discussion of cults by focusing on  those within the alt-media.  We took at a look at how and why cults seem to flourish within the alt-media, with a particular focus on the role that the Internet plays in reaching out to potential members.

Studies show Psychopaths and Sociopaths Rule the World


A team of researchers at Emory University in Atlanta recently found that politicians are more likely than people in the general population to be sociopaths and/or psychopaths. In fact, the fearless dominance associated with psychopathy may predict presidential and overall leadership performance. 
The study was published in the September 2012 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
