It is also a reflection on our college experiences at WSU and the things we learned and gained from it.

While sitting in the boredom and self-isolation characteristic of the Corona pandemic, I thought I'd give my thoughts on our collective response to the virus, and how it contrasts with our regular conceptions of economics and public health.

For the fifth episode I am joined by John Egan and Rohit Khandekar, two business students at WSU. In this episode we discuss atheism, skepticism, faith, religion, the social underpinnings of belief, and the evolutionary foundations of moral sensibility.
