Hello, Human

In this episode we tackle what will be an evergreen topic for us probably, and that is the role of humanities in education. We do actually manage to talk some about this, but also about the value of the humanities in general in the making of a useful person. Sprinkled into the conversation is a little ethics talk, the values of slow thinking and commentary, and what's going on in Scott L. Montgomery and Daniel Chirot's new book, THE SHAPE OF THE NEW, and David Quammen's THE RELUCTANT MR. DARWIN.
