Have you noticed that bald men in movies are either the villain or extremely violent heroes? In this episode on 'Violence' Juan and I discuss: how 1.28 million people died in 2013, where it comes from in the human character and if it is necessary, the possibility of a World War III, what would happen if everybody learnt a martial art, why it is abhorrent but simultaneously entrancing and my 100% legit no-nonsense theory of how the world would be a better place if we eliminated all bald people.

As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
