In Fool View episodes

  • Math?...Never heard of her.

    An unbelievably thrilling and enthralling conversation about Andrew Hacker's The Math Myth, a book that questions why sometimes the numbers just don't add up.

  • Carrying a Conversation on the Back of Our Shoulders (Part 1)
    We sat down to talk about Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and seeing as the novel is over a thousand pages, our conversation ran a few hours. We discuss both elements of the book's plot along with many of the greater ideas that were presented within. In this episode we only cover parts one and two of the novel, with the third part to follow in a coming episode. I'm sure we missed many details and interesting ideas, but there was a lot of ground to cover and we're only human. Enjoy.

  • Black Intellectual and White Idiots

    Max and I discuss Thomas Sowell's work, "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" which touches on topics ranging from the origins of redneck culture in America, minority middlemen, the American education system, and how we tend to view history without context.

  • Que sera, sera?
