February 27, 2019 Flash Update: The Indian Airstrike in Pakistan
India has just launched a military operation into Pakistan—an airstrike—for the first time in decades. And they’re both nuclear powers. We rarely get to stay on top of very current events, but this is such a significant incident—and something so easy to spin and sensationalize—that we wanted to get ahead of it. So get the full scoop of what happened, and the ramifications, right now from Xander.

January 22, 2019 Bias and Tribalism with Chris Martin of Heterodox Academy
Today we link up with the venerable Chris Martin of Heterodox Academy, and host of Half Hour of Heterodoxy. We spend 45 minutes discussing heterodoxy, because we are long-winded.

We ask tough questions such as:
-Is it even possible to not do the thinking for you?
-How do we discuss tribalism without evoking false equivalence?
-What does heterodoxy even mean in a bi-polar political society?

January 11, 2019 Tribal Flippage on Trade and Immigration
You might feel pretty strongly about trade and immigration policy--either very happy or very cranky with the way things are currently being done. But you might be surprised to learn that your tribe might have felt very differently about it just a few years ago.

December 28, 2018 A Very Late Halloween Special: WE DO THE THINKING FOR YOU
Xander and Erik are crazy-busy, and we're very sorry about that. In lieu of this fortnight's episode, here is our Halloween Special from Agoraphobia 2018: "WE DO THE THINKING FOR YOU." Yes it's silly, but it's of course meant to get us thinking about how we frame the behavior of our tribe and our enemy tribe in ways that makes it impossible to be introspective.
