16: A Neuroscientist On Lockdowns | James H. Fallon, PhD

The Emil Barna Podcast

Emil interviews James H. Fallon, PhD to get his insights into COVID-19 lockdowns. Dr Fallon is a neuroscientist and psychopathy researcher and has been an authority on matters relating to neuroscience, mental illness, neuropsychiatry/psychology, and psychopathy for decades. He was very gracious with his time, exploring current events relating to governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr Fallon has delivered a monumental TED Talk on psychopaths and wrote a memoir on his experiences called The Psychopath Inside.
In this hilarious, sombre, and intellectually stimulating episode, he and Emil explore a topic Dr Fallon hasn't yet done so openly: lockdowns. They touch on the effects of lockdowns on the most impoverished, how some kids might actually benefit from homeschooling, how governments appear to be becoming more authoritarian in disposition, recent Victorian and New South Wales lockdowns (including protests), and killer clowns.
Strap in, this was a fun (and sombre) one!
