I am super duper pumped to share my conversation with Robert Wright. For a long time I have enjoyed Bob's podcast, books, and his new post-Trump newsletter. His return to the podcast follows my visit this past week on his own, which was a bunch of fun.
Here's a number of topics we tackle:
- Why Buddhism is True
- The problem with getting rid of prayers of confession from worship
- Why everyone could use a class in evolutionary psychology
- Western love of secular buddhism
- Robert asks Tripp about confirmation and facilitating experiments in truth
- What is a "wet baptist"?
- The role and desire of religious rituals
- Can religions leave competition behind? Can Christianity become a wisdom tradition?
- The New Agnosticism
- The hard problem of consciousness
- "purpose" in the story of evolution
- the possibility of moral progress
- how a simple theist may end up being more accurate than the New Atheists
- how Process theology's multiple ultimates gives a different way to connect eastern and western religious traditions
- the problem of religious pluralism and how to do solve it
- why I hope Bob talks with Simon Conway Morris
