… this is one of the best talks i’ve heard in a long long time (and ties in at least 7 different radiolab episodes to boot!) with 2 take homes that resonate exactly with my philosophies too!
- how it is our responsibility to be good when there is no hope of change or improvement
- how hypocrisy is one of the worst uniquely human traits ever
while still being scientifically objective :)
