Episode Description:
After much anticipation, the first experiment begins! Youssef and Ahmed sit down, recounting the events leading up to the podcast's creation and then offer a taster of what kind of content is to come. We discuss the ever-conflicting twin-forces of tradition and progress as abstractions of a biological struggle that has analogies at the cultural, societal, and even individual level. We get into how currently our cultural tools, both in the west and the Middle-East, offer us only partial answers to questions of how to navigate the world and how to find internal meaning. Finally, we talk about how, today, humanity is uniquely positioned to develop true and actionable answers to the questions about where we come from and why we are here.

Podcast Description:
Experiments in Dialogue is a podcast co-hosted by two Egyptian friends, attempting to reconstruct the world through good-faith and honest dialogue. In each episode, we attempt to couple the best of Enlightenment values with an evolutionary lens to explore the intimate and difficult questions posed by our modern circumstances. Join us, as we weave a diverse array of guests and discussions into a tapestry of stories about culture, philosophy, and science.
