I enjoyed the podcast. What I found interesting is the tension between the ideas of learning from the culture as proposed by your mentioning "thick culture" and "The Secret of Our Success" vs the rationalism of you and the hosts. You all turned to the rationalist community because you had different degrees of discovering everyone was lying to you about reality!

Our culture (and pretty much any culture) has major flaws and it is a big mistake to just blindly trust that the culture has gotten values and practices correct. I think that is especially true of our culture which is largely based on *words* disconnected from reality. In fact, "words disconnected from reality" also describes our educational system.

This says it's a "live conversation." Is there someway for people to watch?
