This week's episode is based on the book Straw Dogs by John Gray. We're going to talk about why we're maybe no different from other animals, and why science requires faith or is even its own form of faith. Also: Why history might be able to be better thought of as cyclical instead of linear, why we obsess over the illusion of control,.Why action and productivity are often forms of escapism.
