Ep. 685: Lawrence Krauss Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Aug 17, 2018

Show notes

My guest today is Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist and cosmologist, professor at Arizona State University, director of its Origins Project and author of bestselling books: "The Physics of Star Trek" and "A Universe from Nothing." He is an advocate for science based data, public policy based on sound empirical data, and scientific skepticism. His goal is to reduce the influence of superstition and religious dogma in popular culture. Richard Feynman has played a large role in Lawrence and his studies. He is a great example of someone who did not let other's hinder him. Feynman was charismatic, intelligent, and excited about all things new – he didn't rely on other's opinions. The charisma Feynman possessed, combined with the genius of his science made him the legend.

The topic is his book The Greatest Story Ever Told–So Far: Why Are We Here?.

Ep. 681: Bradley Campbell Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Aug 02, 2018

Show notes

My guest today is Bradley Campbell, a sociologist whose research focuses on moral conflict — clashes of right and wrong and how they are handled. His work primarily looked at genocide arising from large-scale interethnic conflicts , but recently he has begun to examine smaller-scale conflicts on modern college campuses. Since about 2013 he has studied the phenomena of micro aggression complaints, calls for trigger warnings and safe spaces. He views this new era as, "Manifestations of ongoing moral change and the clash of different moral ideals." He addresses these topics in his book, "The Rise of Victimhood Culture: Micro aggressions, Safe Spaces, and the New Culture Wars."

The topic is his book The Rise of Victimhood Culture: Microaggressions, Safe Spaces, and the New Culture Wars.
