Bias and Tribalism with Chris Martin of Heterodox Academy
Today we link up with the venerable Chris Martin of Heterodox Academy, and host of Half Hour of Heterodoxy. We spend 45 minutes discussing heterodoxy, because we are long-winded.
We ask tough questions such as:
-Is it even possible to not do the thinking for you?
-How do we discuss tribalism without evoking false equivalence?
-What does heterodoxy even mean in a bi-polar political society?
