In this book, he addresses the intriguing question: What if our obsession with the end times reveals something extraordinary about human nature?
From a forgotten 1969 song that predicted our technological nightmare to the mysterious drone swarms of 2024, something dark threads through human consciousness-an inexplicable attraction to our own destruction.
Max has uncovered a hidden pattern-a psychological phenomenon he calls "Apocalyptic Awe" that explains everything from ancient prophecies to modern conspiracy theories, from Hollywood blockbusters to political movements.
This show encompasses a wide-ranging overview of various apocalyptic cults, traditions, and beliefs. It is a mind-bending episode that you do want to miss!
