I talk about when we set fallacious standards for evidence. And Covington Catholic High School.

I talk about some of the things that happened before and after the Civil War, and how "compromise" brought about its failure.

Are most people good? Are they evil? Do good people do bad things? What attitude should we approach the world with? Does democracy work?

I talk about the thing that's been puzzling historians for years... Why didn't the Industrial Revolution happen in China?

I talk about some of the history of Socialism, and the various policies socialists have advocated for. I attempt to correct some of the narrow interpretations of it, and get at the heart of what is driving socialist thought. I also present some of my policy suggestions.

I return from my long hiatus, provide a brief update and reflection, and ask for questions from the audience.

Archived episode where I ramble about how beautiful Switzerland is, before diving into the Just World Fallacy... In this episode I talk about how gorgeous Switzerland is... and then I talk about the Just World Delusion and compassion.

This episode is a follow-up to yesterday's episode about Italy and my impressions. I had to do some research to see if my predictions/observations were accurate. I also talked to friends more informed about Italy. What I learned broke my heart.
