Show Notes
In which we find ourselves thinking, "if I only knew then, what I know now!" On the curse of Sir Walter Raleigh and other things about which we know better. How to learn from other folks' mistakes! More on altruism, as Amy contemplates writing a book on Objectivism & Virtues for a general audience. Also, cigarette smoking in hospitals and on airplanes (and anywhere else), telephones without screens, payphones and dimes, and The Yellow Pages. Also, how to think about events when everyone is right (in their own epistemological & ethical context of knowledge) but disagree completely with one another. Which happens a lot more than you might think.
