On this episode of The Future of Thought, Colton and Caelan discuss their amazement with the nature of time, quantum physics, astrophysics, space-time, the 4th dimension, simulation theory, deities, and much more.

Neither Colton nor Caelan are astrophysicists, quantum physicists, mathematicians, or anything of the like. We admit we likely misspoke in several places or at minimum failed to explain theories fully. Nonetheless, we find conversations around a non-intuitive physical world to be absolutely fascinating.

On this episode of The Future of Thought Podcast, Colton learns from Ethan Pitts about the last 200 years of Afghan warfare, the difference between Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS, why we invaded Afghanistan, why we stayed in Afghanistan nearly 20 years, what role religion plays in this conflict, and where we go from here.

Ethan Pitts is a Political Science student entering his last year at Brigham Young University (BYU), with a dual emphasis in Genocide Studies and Middle East Studies. His capstone paper focused on the relationship between independence warfare and authoritarianism in the Algerian War of Independence. He also has a research paper accepted by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS); this paper is a meta-analysis exploring the interaction of empire, state, war, and revolution with land resources as a driving factor. Ethan has also formally studied German, Korean, Arabic, Swedish, and Russian with personal studies in world history, advanced nuclear energy, infrastructure, and hydroponic farming. Ethan is also a hobbyist cellist and formerly a Certified Barbecue Judge (KCBS).

On this episode of The Future of Thought Colton sits down with Matthew Harvey to discuss free speech in America, the role of social media in our dialogue today, the underappreciation of critical thinking education, the dangers of modern news approaches, debates around climate change, and much more.

Matt is a 5th year PhD Candidate and instructor in Political Science at CU Boulder. His research focuses on the intersection of environmental political theory and critical theory - namely, on the political attentiveness to environmental aesthetics in an era of climate change. (An example: how might we as a political community respond to apocalyptic sights like the skies in the American West during the 2020 fire season?). Outside of academia, he enjoys cooking, hiking, gaming, and other nerdy shenanigans.
