This episode looks at the tool of conversation, exploring how humans have developed the ability to share ideas and arguments in compelling ways. In the first segment, we unpack what a conversation is and it's potential to radically change our minds and expose our own ignorant beliefs. The last two segments look at excerpts from The Republic, whereby Socrates and Thrasymachus debate the nature of what "justice" is. We also briefly examine a Buddhist scripture on the power of conversation to dramatically transform one's character - making a monk out of a murderer.
