  • #50 Josh & Amir: Goals, Society, Progress, etc.

    This weeks episode of the podcast was simple; two friends sitting down and having a conversation. They discussed some of their goals for school but they mainly focused on long-term goals, especially in regards to the future of the podcast. This turned into a conversation about getting a house, moving in, how they'd set it up, etc. The conversation took a completely different turn and started talking about society; from odd customs that we've adopted, how society has changed overtime, and how this effects peoples ability to hold different beliefs or live a different lifestyle. They discussed the differences between people and why equality of outcome doesn't make sense, unless you're in a very small society. These differences between people also made way for a conversation about different cultural practices and things of that nature. So you know what, I take back what I said earlier. This was anything but a simple conversation, but it was an enjoyable one. This is Life with Josh & Amir.

That ladies and gentlemen, is Rod Brewer.
