We dive into what makes bullshit, how to identify it, and, most importantly, how to call it out and make the world a better place. Content discussed in this episode  Bergstrom, C.T. & West, J.D.

Despite being an episode equivalent of eating all of our vegetables, we had a surprisingly good time talking about how to break in to public policy discussions. Even though we hate legal proceedings. And knowing tons of rules across multiple professions. And schmoozing with others. And sitting in lobbies. But, if that sounds like your bag, we salute your work in promoting meaningful ABA policies!
