Wright, a neuroscientist, delves into how our brains are wired for conflict and aggression, while also exploring how neuroscience can inform military strategies, AI ethics, and the prevention of war.

Episode notes
Christ Or Chaos
- Doug Wilson argues secular liberalism has failed and left society incoherent on fundamental questions like sex and personhood.
- He claims returning to Christ as the transcendent anchor will restore moral and social order.
Every Society Has A 'God Of The System'
- Wilson says all societies are 'theocratic' because each has a final authority or 'God of the system.'
- He argues the question is which God governs public life and insists the true God should be the public anchor.
Limit State Coercion To Civil Crimes
- Wilson advises using Scripture to determine which offenses deserve civil penalties and which remain sins handled by conscience.
- He recommends a limited state role: punish murder, rape, theft, but avoid policing private sins like envy.
