Sapientia is a podcast where James and Justin embark on a journey through philosophy, politics, history, and science to discover honest answers to our most pressing questions. Once a month, we have an unscripted conversation where we perform a deep dive into a particular topic. We appreciate and encourage criticism or comments to provide us a diversity of ideas and viewpoints. We hope you join us.

Episode 4: Religion
Welcome back to another action packed episode of philosophical intrigue and discussion! See how James and Justin (or is it Justin and James?) navigate the waters of religion, through the lens of a social institution and of a state. We trust this episode was created with all necessary prudence for you to enjoy.

Filling the Gaps Ep 3.5: Abortion
Watch how James and Justin trudge through the delicate and charged topic of abortion. With discussions of the moral value of having children, having an abortion, and more, this episode will be leaving you asking deeper questions about your personal thoughts on the issue.
We feel that this is one of our strongest episodes thus far because of our differences; they show through in our arguments and root assumptions about moral value. This emphasizes, again, that Sapientia is, at its very heart, a conversation. We want to hear from you, so feel free to leave a comment, send a Facebook message, or, if you're really froggy, a carrier pigeon.

Episode 3 - Feminism and the Male Identity Crisis
James and Justin try to tackle feminism broadly and the male identity crisis specifically. We explore some of the history and trends of feminism and explain some buzzwords that are frequently used and misunderstood. After that, we dive into how men are increasingly becoming confused, isolated, and lost in our society - and how this is potentially feminist issue.

FtG Episode 2.5 - The Gender Pay Gap
The wage gap has been a hot point for plenty of discussion over the last few years. Watch as James and Justin through some statistics out there and clarify the issue, as well as reflect on how it came about and what we might do to bring it to an end. Also we film in my basement now!
Watch our pretty faces and funny gestures too! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw5ZGaU0kLVm1mpcubrDDCA

Episode 2 - Economics and Economies
James and Justin dig through the quagmire of economic theory and philosophy to uncover how we ought to structure economies. We take a tour through the various economic theories, starting with capitalism and moving through communism and socialism. We discuss what they are, broadly speaking, and the relative merits of each. We then discuss specifics, like the stock market, globalism, and nationalism, and how these relate to the political and social circumstances in which these economies exist. We leave off on where we personally lie on these questions and an invitation for future topics on economic problems. While neither of us are experts, we hope you'll get something out of this as we try to break down these exceptionally complex ideas and as always, feel free to email us as sapientiaphilosophy@gmail.com for criticism, comments, or concerns.
