Topic: Biological Character Flaw

Ryan Peverly defines the "emotional plague of mankind" as the culmination of Wilhelm Reich's body of work, describing it as a biological character flaw rooted in human ignorance and naivete. This concept involves "armored individuals" who are resistant to natural energy flow and seek to dictate the lives of others. Peverly argues that Reich's background as a psychoanalyst and biologist led him to view this plague as a greater threat to humanity than any physical disease.
