Steven Wilson's podcast, 'The Leaves of a Victim Never More,' is a heartfelt and raw journey through the mind of someone who has endured significant trauma and is now navigating the path to recovery. In this episode, titled 'The Orange Peel of Despair: A New Mental Illness,' Steven shares insights from his group therapy sessions, touching on the concept of trans placement, where patients start to see themselves as therapists due to their extensive time in therapy.
This fascinating phenomenon sets the stage for a broader discussion about the mental state of American voters, drawing parallels with historical and political contexts. Steven references Emma Goldman's work, 'Minorities vs Majorities,' to highlight how quantity over quality has led to a degradation in politics, education, and society at large. He candidly explores the idea that the American voter may be suffering from a collective mental illness, exacerbated by the polarising figure of Donald Trump.
With humour and a touch of cynicism, Steven reflects on the role of the individual in a society dominated by mass thinking and the dangers of mob mentality. This episode is a compelling mix of personal anecdotes, historical references, and political commentary, making it a thought-provoking listen for anyone interested in the intersection of mental health and politics. Don't miss out on Steven's unique perspective and his call to question the status quo.
