Further Chaos

Making Real the Cost of War

The boys gives an update on Brian’s impending move to Rhode Island, before chatting about the latest escalations in the war with Iran. Nate then brings up the potential for a budget reconciliation to force real cuts in other government spending. After hearing Michael Pollan speak on his new book about consciousness, the lads wonder about the potential for another “Copernican” moment. Finally Nate spins an amusing anecdote about the Great Schism of 1054 into a brief genealogy of Platonism.
