Episode notes

I think people see cases where there really isn't an answer And I think they take some pleasure In fixing on a belief that is Unsupported. Just plucking one other random and saying I'm gonna believe in this and you know because there's no reason against it seems to be a mildly perverse act. It doesn't rise to the full perversity of you know sitting in a voting booth as a committed democrat and liberal and then just saying What the hell I want to vote for trump god damn I could nothing's gonna stop me.

What better way to celebrate our 150th episode than to bring back our favorite guest – Paul Bloom! We riff on a series of topics: the new “grievance studies” hoax, sex robot brothels, perverse desires, and perverse beliefs. Then we get a little navel gazey (OK maybe more than a little) and talk about podcasting as a form of media and discussion, good teaching, and what we’ve learned about our listeners and ourselves. (Note: the audio may sound a little echoey towards the end because of how far we’ve crawled up our own asses.) This was a fun one, enjoy!

Special Guest: Paul Bloom.
