It's becoming increasingly important to not only become intelligent, but also wise. In this podcast, Spencer and Arjun tackle contemporary topics through the lens of students early in their academic careers. They incorporate experiences from their personal lives, scientific papers, and philosophy in order to create a space for rational reflection. Just don't forget that they don't know everything.

Disinformation in an Increasingly Divided Age
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
One of the most effective ways to control a society is by controlling the spread of its information. With the amount of misinformation and disinformation seemingly growing, Spencer and Arjun try to unpack what led us here. They discuss the media, political partisanship, cognitive biases, and the mindset we may need to cultivate to overcome this hurdle. It looks like critical thinking and rationality will be indispensable for keeping us grounded and guiding us through this mess.
