In this episode our discussion takes the concepts from the book, The Three-Body Problem written by Cixin Liu. We make an attempt to explain what the "Cultural Revolution" was like in China 1960's and the concept of "Reactionary Politics."  What the endgame is for China from the perspective of a guest speaker who is Chinese American.  We try for formulate what the ideal world should look like and if it's a good idea to be sending out a beacon into outer space in hopes of potentially reaching intelligent life other than us while we are in our current situation.
