4 - Rou Reynolds (Enter Shikari) on Why Our Mental Health Isn't Wired For Capitalism

Occupy The Void with Xtina

Rou Reynolds of UK band Enter Shikari reflects on why capitalist society couldn't be a worse system for our mental health and how we could break the system to save the planet and our minds. He also reflects on what being open about his struggles did for his connection with his fans. As Rou says, "society's push for self interest, for competition, our thirst for more (of everything) completely disregards our need for community, for connection, our ability to empathise, to help each other, for altruism." After the interview, your co-hosts Tim and Christina do a deep dive on the themes raised during the thought-provoking conversation.
