Journalist and author Joseph L. Flatley joins Aeon Byte to discuss his Inner Empire podcast series, which looks at how the same mental techniques magicians use to reshape perception have been absorbed by cults, self-help movements, intelligence agencies, and social media algorithms.

Luhrmann's research to explain how imagination becomes the channel for divine or magical communication.
