Dennis and Julie have reached 100 episodes.  Dennis reflects on one’s nature… are you a fighter… do you help the fighters?  “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” …is a quote routinely attributed to Edmund Burke, falsely so.  The quote can be traced back to the utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill, who delivered an 1867 inaugural address at the University of St. Andrews and stated: “Let not anyone pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”  Thank God we all have different natures.  Other topics include: God’s role in one’s existence; outliers have a hard time finding a partner; know thyself; platitudes… the world is better with you in it; Julie shares an experience she had talking about God on a date; thinking about the big issues; how do doctor’s not get grossed out; socialized medicine reduces respect for doctors; bad apples ruin it for the whole bunch; Dennis and Julie review Dennis’ appearance on Piers Morgan with Cenk Uygur.
