About this listen

Imagine looking in the mirror and knowing—with absolute mathematical certainty—that you no longer exist.

In this episode, Alice and Marc explore the chilling world of Cotard’s Delusion (Walking Corpse Syndrome). Far from being "crazy," discover why these patients are actually too rational: when the brain loses its emotional connection to the body (Emotional Anosognosia), the only logical conclusion is death.

From the tragic story of Mademoiselle X to the reversal of Descartes' "Cogito," learn why pure logic leads to the grave and why feeling pain is the ultimate proof of life.
