In this episode of Key Is In The Contrast, we break down one of Dead Poets Society’s most devastating truths: Neil Perry didn’t die because of rebellion, he died because no one around him knew how to question certainty or guide him.We explore how epistemic rigidity, the inability to adapt your beliefs, can become deadly when wrapped in the armor of love, tradition, or “what’s best for you.” We also challenge the romanticized myth of Father-Son power dynamics, revealing how control masquerading as care has broken generations of men. And how sons don't step up to create their own agency when challenged by their fathers. But here’s where it gets uncomfortable:Dr. David Robertson makes a bold case that Mr. Keating (Robin Williams) isn’t the hero but the villain. Did Keating empower Neil to find his voice or push him off a cliff with no tools to land?Topics covered: When adversity becomes entrapment, The emotional cost of inherited belief systems, Why rigid authority thrives in silence, Fatherhood, obedience, and generational mythologies.This episode is for anyone raised by someone who said they were doing it “for your own good.”#DeadPoetsSociety #Fatherhood #EmotionalGrowth #Masculinity #KeyIsInTheContrast
