#5 The Human Condition with Susan Marie (Why Are We Afraid of the Dark?)

The Human Condition is a weekly 10-12 minute audio series featuring me, you and a conversation about everyday experiences made simple.

The human condition is defined as "the characteristics, key events, and situations which compose the essentials of human existence, such as birth, growth, emotionality, aspiration, conflict, and mortality".

Episode #5 covers why we fear the dark, classical conditioning, fight or flight, biological, scientific, and evolutionary examples of human fear of the dark, with scientific experiments that postulated social and political conditioning, along with a cool demonstration to test human night vision.
