What?! A podcast about... anthropology?! Madness! Today I cover a topic proposed in paper form in Anthropology class - namely, what happened 50k years ago that created such sudden increases in human complexity.

Wherein Matt uses his new words from ethical theory class to interpret various thoughts (and sources) of the gun debate. A lot of time is spent on ethics of care and utilitarianism for conservatives and liberals respectively.

The President got us talking about stuff! That never happens! Americans get riled up and in this particular instance, it's likely an actual thorny issue we Americans refuse to take seriously. Both sides could use this podcast. It's time to honestly discuss race.

I went to my college orientation and it got a little.. identity-triggered. This is a podcast about my early wading into the Marxist waters and a potentially exciting two years at UCSD.

Define/explain what "true" is. It's a lot harder than it sounds. I explain how truth actually is subject to the same rules time is subject to - that is, relativity.

It's a reaction to a conversation. This pod is "Fast n Dirty." No editing (other than sound quality), no music, no plugs, no preamble. It's on the nature of the claim that belief is a binary option (yes or no).

The events in Charlottesville involve years of racial tensions. I go back to the Civil War (though clearly slavery started before then) and forward to just last week in covering this episode's topic and answering a question - what do we do about neo-Nazis?

There are many directions for the Wanderer to take in the coming months. This time we discuss all of the possibilities.

Who represents you?  Do you have a choice in the matter?  If you're reading this in the United States, you'd be rather shocked (or not) to learn how little your vote actually matters in selecting your representation.  We dive into gerrymandering and why that's a terrible name for something we all need to fix.
