    Rewriting the Rules: Love, Sex, and Society

    In this episode, we dive into Marriage and Morals, Bertrand Russell's provocative exploration of sex, relationships, and societal norms.

We unpack his arguments around monogamy, morality, and the intersection of love and law. Whether you agree with him or not, this conversation will challenge your assumptions about the institutions we take for granted.
