This is a special one for us since we are talking about a topic that everyone has thought about at some point but more often than not we are left with more questions that we initially started with.

Prof. Theo Klimstra who is an expert in the field of personal identity joined us and helped us dive deep into various aspects of identity.

    Shortcast: Cost of War

    In this short episode, we are discussing the economic cost of war. Starting from the GDP of a country and the amount of tax that goes into military funding to how much individual war equipment costs, to give you a very concrete idea of why wars are so expensive. We are talking about this in the context of the current invasion of Ukraine by Russia but the calculations we mentioned in the episode can be easily expanded to other such wars. Some of the references used in this episode: http://old.cost.ua/en/budget/revenue/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/810835/ratio-of-military-expenditure-to-gross-domestic-product-gdp-ukraine/#:~:text=In 2020%2C military expenditure in,percent of gross domestic product. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/the-cost-of-war-how-russias-economy-will-struggle-to-pay-the-price-of-invading-ukraine-2821235 https://www.kyivpost.com/business/ukraine-collects-nearly-40-billion-in-taxes-relies-heavily-on-vat-for-budget.html https://nation-creation.fandom.com/wiki/Modern_Day_Military_Pricing_List#RUSSIAN_MILITARY_EQUIPMENT https://twitter.com/michaeldweiss/status/1502203487685328898?s=21 Reach out to us with your comments, suggestions, or critique here:  Twitter: @infounderradar Instagram: @infoundertheradar Your hosts on Twitter: Devendra(@InDevOut) & Vishwajeet(@vishwajeets3) Music Credits: Origami by Johny Grimes https://soundcloud.com/johny-grimes Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/_-origami Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/m-pdlZ7VaDE

    S02E04 | Understanding formation and transformation of political beliefs from the lens of a Political Scientist w/ Prof. Bert Bakker

    In the fourth episode of the second season of IUTR, we are talking about how do beliefs form and what leads to their transformation among other things from the lens of Political Beliefs. We also looked into who are politically sophisticated people (for conciseness referred to as sophisticated during the conversation) and why they tend to be more aligned with their political parties. We invited Dr. Bert Bakker, who is a Political Scientist and an Associate Prof. of Political Communication and Journalism at the University of Amsterdam to understand this very interesting and complicated subject. (07:15) - What is a belief in the first place and how do beliefs are formed? (14:40) - Types of beliefs and how beliefs are seen as a network (29:15) - Can we quantitatively measure the change in our beliefs? (35:35) - What leads to change in beliefs and what does it mean to be politically “sophisticated”? (40:45) - Why do politically sophisticated individuals tend to vote on party lines? (43:55) - “More sophisticated someone is, less is their willingness to change their beliefs” but why? (49:45) - Psychological reasoning behind why sophisticated people might not look to the other side of issues they believe in (i.e. people on the left not willing to understand ideas of the right and vice-versa) and why it's hard to change their beliefs? (57:15) - What leads to drastic shifts in the religious or political beliefs of individuals who grow up in a household of certain beliefs? (63:00) - If you are atheist or agnostic, who do you look up to when things are going bad in life.
