Through Conversations

Long conversations with people who have spent their lives on one hard question.

Psychology, philosophy, science, and what it means to live while the world is changing under us. The point is not a highlight, it is to sit with someone long enough that the usual answer falls apart.

Guests have included Noam Chomsky, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Kevin Kelly, Niall Ferguson, David Buss, Lisa Feldman Barrett, Kieran Setiya, Chris Williamson, and James Hollis.

Recent conversations: Murray Stein on the shadow, Avi Loeb on what the evidence for aliens actually shows, and Josh Hicks on how meaning breaks and gets rebuilt.
