Myron is a Demon Skeptic (#80) - a podcast by Dan Koch

My guest (and dear friend) philosopher Myron A. Penner joins me to talk about demons. His position is as follows:

1. Not ruling out their existence
2. Quite skeptical what we could really know about them
3. Somewhat opposed morally, given how they function in human/religious affairs

We also talk about the phenomena of increased “possession” in non-Western countries, culture-bound mental health syndromes, the role of expectation in experience, some (I think) helpful concepts from psychologist Richard Beck, and more.
