The future, where people give up being in control of their own lives, is going to be brought on by disease, mythology and treatment.
What do Britney Spears, the New York mayoral election, and the concept of addiction have in common? Quite a bit, according to Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads. In this episode of the LPP Podcast, the duo dives into the latest news cycle, starting with Britney Spears' ongoing conservatorship battle. They question the ethics of medication-assisted treatment being imposed against her will and explore whether addiction can truly be 'cured' by targeting brain reward centers. But that's just the beginning.
Peele and Rhoads also discuss other high-profile cases like Drew Barrymore and Lindsay Lohan, who have managed to outgrow their addictions, contrasting them with Demi Lovato's struggle to break free from her 'handlers' and the constraints of 12-step programs. Switching gears, they examine the New York mayoral race, focusing on Eric Adams' appeal to working-class communities who crave more police security.
They highlight the stark differences between Adams and candidates like Maya Wiley, who relies on private security due to past trauma. This leads to a broader discussion about how trauma is an everyday reality in some neighborhoods and how the social elite often overlook these struggles. As always, Peele and Rhoads bring a mix of personal anecdotes, expert opinions, and candid conversations that challenge conventional wisdom about addiction and recovery.
If you're interested in a fresh perspective on these complex issues, this episode is a must-listen.
