He discusses CS Lewis and The Great Divorce, the messiness of life, guilt by association, and pluralistic ignorance. The podcast also explores the dangers of excessive purity, the structure of the Exodus seminar, contrasting visions of hell, and living in a bubble disconnected from a larger narrative.
