In this episode of the YANSS Podcast we sit down with psychologist Julia Shaw, an expert in memory and criminal psychology, and discuss her new book - EVIL - in which she makes a case for something she calls evil empathy, seeing people who do heinous things as fellow human beings instead of as monsters. As she says, except in very rare cases, we are all capable of committing the sort of crimes and causing the kind havoc we usually attribute to...well...EVIL people. In fact, she says the word evil has no meaning - it’s an antiquated, magical idea that is not supported by scientific evidence.
