    S5E2 - A Billion Seconds : Counting the Seconds of a Human Life

    In this episode of Wolves & Dragons, Fenrir the Black Wolf has a strange, hilarious, and unsettling realization: even at nearly 30, he hasn’t reached one billion seconds of being alive. That single fact cracks reality open. Because if counting one number per second would take more than three decades—with no sleep, no breaks, no missed beats—then what does “a billion” actually mean… and what does it do to your sense of time, identity, and mortality? Fenrir turns this “fun fact” into a full-on night-walk through scale and meaning. He explores how the human mind compresses experience into eras and moods, why memory edits our lives into chapters, and how our bodies keep time through heartbeats, cycles, and constant microscopic repair. From there, the lens widens: archaeology, the rise-and-collapse rhythm of civilizations, and the humbling truth that Earth’s history spans billions of years—making modern human life feel like a spark that still somehow burns with significance. Then the episode goes cosmic: quantum weirdness, probabilities collapsing into outcomes, the arrow of time, and the one-way drift of entropy that makes every second permanently spent. The result isn’t panic—it’s perspective. A reminder that your problems are real, but they aren’t the whole sky; that your life is temporary, and that’s precisely why it matters. The episode builds toward a quiet ritual: when the billion-second mark arrives, pause. Look up. Breathe. And let a simple truth land—your life is made of seconds, and you still have the next one.

    S4E14 - The Judgment I Crave : Emotional Masochism and Imposter Syndrome

    In this Wolves and Dragons episode, Fenrir the Black Wolf descends into emotional masochism—the strange human tendency to circle pain like it’s home. It starts with a disturbing question: why do some criminals leave clues as if they want to be caught, judged, and condemned? From there, Fenrir links judgment to shame, guilt, and the relief that comes when the outer world finally matches the inner verdict. The episode explores how emotional masochism shows up in relationships through repetition compulsion, transference, attachment wounds, and core beliefs like “I don’t deserve real love,” creating a pull toward partners who recreate familiar hurt. Fenrir breaks down the “drug” effect—intermittent reinforcement, trauma bonds, and the slot-machine nature of inconsistent affection—then turns to the darker implication: how cruelty to self can leak into cruelty to others when the inner critic becomes a lifestyle. Kobe Bryant’s Black Mamba becomes a case study in alchemizing rejection into identity, and impostor syndrome is framed as socially acceptable self-punishment—success achieved while the inner voice still whispers “not good enough.” Finally, Fenrir ties it to the doppelgänger theme: the uncanny experience of watching yourself and not recognizing the person, revealing the split selves inside the same skull. The question isn’t “why do I suffer?” It’s “why does suffering sometimes feel like proof I’m real?”
