Episode notes

i don't know, i feel like we kind of say what we want on this podcast without getting a lot of shit for it. The most ship we get is from the the and the interestsexactly from these people. It's not thas the en in my,. my city is like, extremely liberal, like, alarmingly on on the left, a and it's just, it's just not, but people don't hear this stuff. So every day, nothing happens to me about diversity. You know, we talk. I mean, i wanto encourage diversity. But i don't think everybody is is ok, trying to make an effort in that direction.

David and Tamler talk about the often rancorous debate among cognitive scientists and evolutionary psychologists over whether the mind is modular -- composed of discrete systems responsible for vision, reasoning, cheater detection, sexual jealousy, and so on. David and Tamler (mostly David) describe the history of the debate, then dive into a recent paper (Pietraszewski & Wertz, 2021) arguing that virtually all the disagreement is the product of a conceptual and methodological confusion â€“ that the two sides are operating with different levels of analysis and talking past each other as a result.

Plus, we REALLY tried not to talk about the University of Austin thing for the whole opening segment. We had another topic lined up and everything. It just didnâ€™t work out. Cicero would understand. Bari Weiss stans might wanna skip to the main segment.
