This is the first episode of the youarenot so smart podcast to come out after my new book, how minds change. It has been released, a real book. You can hold it in your hands. And i really appreciate every one who has reached out and said nice things about it. But this is also the first episode that comes out after the us Supreme court ruling that struck down ro versus wade - making abortion illegal in many states. So that makes the book more timely than i expectedit,. given that so much of it deals with the state of epistemic crisis we all contend with every day.
