2024 American Election! Trump v. Harris. We dig into our predictions and perceptions of our current political state as a nation. We break down the fantastic debate hosted by the Free Press between Sam Harris & Ben Shapiro - showcasing how we believe we need more Socratic-style debating. Are we seeing a new political realignment in America? Why have white men become disenfranchised by the democratic party? Will it be a close election? Who is Trump & Harris - really?!?!? What's the culture war? Media consumption via the different parties? Straw-Mans v. Steel-Mans.

The "F-word?"... European Nude Beaches... What's cultural Hegemony? Chat GPT made an appearance, and we fired Matt! Dave Ramsey + David Graeber = DEBT!! Canceling all debt in the Old Testament = Jubilee.

Does Eric Weinstein have an opinion about anything? What is Hegel's Dialectic? Good theory vs. bad theory? Let's discuss falsification, Max Weber, and why is there more bullshit than truth in the world? We end this episode by discussing why we need "Value-Free Research".

What is empathy? Global connectivity, high school ignorance, and the importance of the method?

Why does biological literacy matter? We are ALL human = More EMPATHY!!!

What can we learn from moral psychology? Are the classical philosophers right? What about modern science: can it shed light on moralism? Where does Eastern & Western thought collide?
