This episode we talk about the transcript from Universiteit van Nederland explores the historical and cultural significance of the "pact with the devil" myth. The video examines real-life cases seemingly involving such pacts, contrasting them with fictional accounts like the Faust legend. It then analyzes historical uses of the myth to demonize religious and social outcasts, such as heretics and witches. Finally, it connects the enduring myth to modern-day tendencies to dehumanize those holding opposing views. The speaker argues that the myth's power stems not from factual basis but from its function in social control and group identity formation. The video concludes by highlighting the continued relevance of this narrative in contemporary society.
