Episode notes

The speaker refrains from identifying as an atheist due to disagreements with how religious beliefs are addressed by the 'new atheists'. They remain open to evidence of the supernatural but have not encountered anything convincing yet. The speaker believes that everything can be explained through material terms and attributes consciousness and morality to neurological patterns, evolutionary biology, and reciprocal altruism. They downplay the difficulty of the 'hard problem' of consciousness, suggesting that it is a misconception.

Bret talks to Russell Brand in the wake of his Baptism.
