Thank you. to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of IHeart Radio. Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind. My name is Robert Lamb.

And I am Joe McCormick, and today we are returning with part three in our series on cynicism,

the tendency to believe that other people are selfish, untrustworthy,

and immoral. In part one of the series, we defined cynicism in its modern usage, along the lines

I just said, and we distinguished it from other concepts like pessimism and from the

Cynic School of Philosophy founded in ancient Greece, which was not

defined by thinking about other people as morally bad and undeserving of trust, but instead by the

idea that people should strive for self-sufficiency and moral integrity based on living

according to our nature, sort of throwing off the hypocrisies that are

mandated by culture. And I think this goal of exposing hypocrisy is one of the few threads you

might find between modern cynicism and ancient cynic philosophy, though still with some differences.

It's not quite this simple, but I was thinking the other day about it.

I think you could say cynic philosophy was like hypocrisy is bad and I'm going to try to get rid of it, whereas modern cynicism is more like, everybody's a hypocrite.

You can't trust them.
