    I haven't made an episode in a while, but I cannot remain silent on the racial inequality in our country. We must work to improve the racial inequality that systemically pervades our society.

    014 - Thinking of Thanks

    Thanksgiving is this week so it is only fitting that we discuss thankfulness. In this episode, we will consider the nature of thankfulness as well as its connection to optimism. We will also discuss the difference between being "thankful for" and "thankful to."

    013 - Fate, Luck, and Free Will

    Seeing as 13 is typically regarded as an unlucky number, I figured we might as well take this week to discuss fate, luck, and free will. We will discuss Voltaire and Tolstoy's arguments against free will and the implications of these.
