  • Mini: How Many Books Can You Read in Your Life?
    2024/11/26
    It's these silly little questions that we don't think about, but are curious to hear the answer. We can estimate how many books someone reads by figuring out how long books are, how fast people read, how many books they tend to read in a year, and how many years they are likely to live. Depending on who you are, that number yields a pretty big range. But probably less than you might have thought..? Listen in and find out!

  • Bad Arguments
    2024/11/20
    Some arguments are so bad that if even they were right, they'd be wrong. In this discussion, we unpack a specific example of criminally poor arguments. We take a couple of paragraphs and dismantal each argument. Perhaps this will even give you some ideas for how to take apart weak arguments that you encounter.

  • Mini: Revolving Doors
    2024/11/18
    What is the deal with revolving doors? How are they trying to control us? Who's behind the cabal of big revolving doors? Just kidding :) There are some very practical reasons for revolving doors, and it's a thing we made as a species, so it's a thing we talk about as a podcast.
