Finding Superman - How did humanity get so soft? - Episode 111

Finding Superman: How Did Humanity Get So Soft? Somewhere along the way, humanity traded its hunger for comfort—and in doing so, tamed the tiger within. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick (The Dragon) takes you on a journey from the streets of post-earthquake Haiti to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, exploring how society, culture, and convenience have softened our edge, silenced our will to power, and lulled us into complacency. Through stories, philosophy, and reflection, you’ll rediscover Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch —the human who dares to rise above conformity, reclaim meaning, and say yes to life even in the storm. This is not about judgment. It’s about remembering who we are, what we’re capable of, and what it takes to awaken the untamed creator within. Because the world doesn’t need more comfort, it requires more courage. The tiger’s still there—waiting for you to let it out of its cage. Make Sense? Listen now to learn how to reclaim your will to power, rise above victimhood, and rediscover your inner Superman.
