Listen Later

Episode Description:
In this solo episode of the Experiments in Dialogue podcast, Youssef and Ahmed get a bit more personal, discussing the origins of their friendship, how they came to see friendship throughout their lives, and to what degree the quality of the friendships they formed influenced their lives. They spend some time discussing the evolutionary paradox of friendship, as they see it, and try to unravel the mystery behind why people can select bad friends and how to avoid it. We hope you enjoy this most personal of podcasts so far and, if you like our content, make sure to follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

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.
