  • Summary

  • Ever wondered what truly defines a hero in today's world? Join Justin and me as we dissect the modern landscape of role models, drawing parallels between legendary figures like Superman and Batman, and the qualities that make a hero both admirable and attainable. We navigate through the fascinating dynamics of heroes and villains, addressing our natural wariness of perceived perfection and the influence these characters have on our own aspirations and values.

    Our dialogue traverses the profound depths of the inner struggle and the Hero's Journey, invoking insights from Jung and Dostoevsky to Christ. We critically assess the impact of rewriting seminal narratives, like those in the Star Wars saga, and discuss the contentious terrain of gender-neutral parenting, pondering whether there's an inherent design that shapes us. This episode is an exploration of the shifting cultural and spiritual paradigms that challenge traditional heroism and the essence of our personal journeys.
