Good in Theory: A Political Philosophy Podcast
Society & Culture:Philosophy
Grizzly bears are scary. But what about zombie grizzly bears? What’s makes something horrifying rather than just frightening?
Paul has a theory. It turns out that humans have a psychological way of organizing the world that also creates the possibility of getting really creeped-out. It helps explain the horror of the zombie grizzly why the old Dracula was creepier than Twilight and how war propaganda can turn enemies into monsters.
