Tim Urban’s first appearance on this show remains one of my all-time favourites. Now, this explosive thinker of cosmic, civilisation-level thoughts returns with a book: “What's Our Problem? A Self-Help Book for Societies”. We wrestle with what’s going wrong. Why is everything a mess? Why is everyone acting like a baby? When did things get so tribal? Why do humans do this stuff?
Interesting episode. The whole conformity and demand that you express support exactly like the mainstream does reminds of the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer does the AIDS walk, but refuses to wear the AIDS ribbon and gets beaten up for it.
I’m loving being a subscriber, Josh, but I’m a little bit befuddled why you referred to your husband as your partner. You’re married, you have children. For a little while I wondered if you were talking about your sound engineer.

I think it's a British thing. I've heard it from both Australians and Canadians.
