In an earlier podcast, Andrew Sullivan described Richard Dawkins as an unpleasant person. But that was before he had met him.
In this episode, they do meet, and consider whether direct clarity can be mistaken for unpleasantness. They go on to discuss the double standards that govern criticism, challenging the breakdown of civil conversation in America.
As they navigate the terrifying yet exhilarating immensity of the universe, they contemplate and debate life's meaning, Jesus, and the role of religion as solace in the face of nothingness. But does moral philosophy really require the supernatural? Does scientific truth make a person desolate? And what is the truth of human nature and the sex binary?
