Here's the somewhat more contentious part 2 you've all been waiting for! In this one, Ania is a bit more critical of some of the ableist aspects of society, including language used by your host. We got into a hearty debate on the issue, and then I comment on it after. I'm very, very curious … Continue reading AS247: Ableist Language with Ania Bula →

I'm back for some more analysis of points brought up in the Sean Carroll episodes. Spoiler alert: Sean Carroll was right about Boltzmann brains. Who would have thought!

Time for a change of pace! This episode I speak to a listener who doesn't want to call himself an atheist. We debate about that, and we also discuss Einstein and Godel's religious views.

Well today's the day I finally speak up after staying virtually silent for 3 episodes. I talk about some aspects of the Eli James debate and actually also explain some practical issues, like why I stayed virtually silent for 4 hours.
