In this episide, I talk about some of the latest on the Covid-19 crisis, including the hasty re-opening of American society without a plan for rigorous testing, quaranteening those who are ill and allowing the healthy to return to society, the stupidity and utter lack of leadership from the current administration of the United States, the infighting, the divisions, the wastefulness, and the fear this will go on indefinitely because we cannot get our act together.  I also talk about what I consider to be perhaps the biggest problem for humanity and it’s incredible cost to us, especially in today’s environment - the problem of pride and not wanting to respect evidence-based critical thinking, sound reasoning, scientific method, opting instead for superstition, wishful thinking, misinformation and other nonsense, as well as the unwillingness to admit when we are wrong. To which I say, to borrow a quote from the film Pulp Fiction, "F- pride!"
