Extramurally, he is an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He studies how behaviors emerge and evolve in response to social, cultural, and ecological pressures, as well as how those pressures can themselves evolve. He is the author of Modeling Social Behavior: Mathematical and Agent-Based Models of Social Dynamics and Cultural Evolution.In this episode, we focus on Modeling Social Behavior. We talk about modeling in science, the theoretical foundations of social science, mathematical models and agent-based models, and fine-grained and coarse-grained models. We discuss assumptions about human psychology, and we then explore examples of social dynamics that can be modeled, like contagion and the spread of innovation; opinion dynamics, and consensus and polarization; cooperation; norms; and science as a social phenomenon. Finally, we discuss how to turn ideas into models, and the limitations of models.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:41 What is modeling in science?07:44 Theoretical foundations in the social sciences14:00 Mathematical models and agent-based models19:04 Fine-grained and coarse-grained models23:17 Assumptions about human psychology27:07 Contagion, and the spread of innovation36:37 How people change opinions46:19 Consensus and polarization50:27 Cooperation1:00:50 What are norms?1:08:21 Science as a social phenomenon1:20:15 How to turn ideas into models1:28:28 The limitations of models1:33:28 Follow Dr. Smaldino’s work!--Follow Dr. Smaldino’s work:Faculty page: http://tinyurl.com/79b5senmWebsite: http://tinyurl.com/sa9797nuResearchGate profile: http://tinyurl.com/yr5zprr2Modeling Social Behavior: http://tinyurl.com/4cvtr5mp--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

We start by talking about epistemic norms, and the standard epistemic norms that most philosophers follow. We discuss why epistemic norms matter, and what happens when there is conflict between epistemic norms and moral norms. We talk about the difference between knowledge and true beliefs, and we also discuss pointless beliefs, mundane beliefs, and interesting beliefs. We then talk about nonstandard epistemic norms, and Dr. Talbot’s methodology to get at replacement norms.

We start by talking about how Lawrence got into antinatalism. We then explore some of the most common arguments for antinatalism, like the asymmetry argument, whether we can say that life is objectively bad, whether death is a harm, and the argument based on consent. We also talk about the most compelling arguments against antinatalism. We discuss a thought experiment about being able to choose to never be born. We talk about the selfishness of arguments for having kids.

His academic interests include artificial intelligence, embodied and extended cognition, robotics, and computational neuroscience. He is the author of several books, the latest one being The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality.In this episode, we focus on The Experience Machine. We start by exploring the ideas of the brain as a prediction machine, and perception as controlled hallucination. We talk about the relationship between perception and objective reality, the role of expectation, illusions, and 4E cognition and the extended mind.

Check the website here: http://enlites.comRECORDED ON SEPTEMBER 18th 2024.Dr. Karl Friston is Professor of Imaging Neuroscience and Wellcome Principal Research Fellow of Imaging Neuroscience at University College London. Dr. Friston is a theoretical neuroscientist and authority on brain imaging. He invented statistical parametric mapping (SPM), voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and dynamic causal modelling (DCM). His main contribution to theoretical neurobiology is a free-energy principle for action and perception. He is the author of several books, including Active Inference: The Free Energy Principle in Mind, Brain, and Behavior.In this episode, we explore the Free Energy Principle, and how to go from physical systems to brains and cognition. We start by discussing what the Free Energy Principle is, the history behind its development, and concepts like Markov blankets, internal and external states, blanket states, circular causality, and autonomous states. We talk about the differences between living and non-living systems, and the existential imperative to reduce predicting error. We also discuss concepts like self-organization and hierarchy in nervous systems. We discuss what we can learn about the brain through neuroimaging, and how specialized the brain is. Finally, we talk about how we can integrate the microscopic aspects of brain physiology with a more abstract understanding of the mind, like what we have in psychiatry and psychology.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:55 What is the Free Energy Principle?19:29 Markov blankets, internal states, external states, blanket states35:15 Causality38:20 Autonomous states40:55 The difference between a living system and a non-living system57:42 The existential imperative to reduce prediction error1:01:03 Self-organization (in nervous systems)1:15:51 Hierarchy1:28:04 Studying the brain through neuroimaging1:44:54 Integrating brain physiology with psychiatry and psychology2:04:31 Follow Dr. Friston’s work!--Follow Dr. Friston’s work:Faculty page: tinyurl.com/38wwsbunResearchGate profile: tinyurl.com/ycy7sbf7Books on Amazon: tinyurl.com/5mua5hxy--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Dr. Gerstenberg's research is highly interdisciplinary. It combines ideas from philosophy, linguistics, computer science, and the legal sciences to better understand higher-level cognitive phenomena such as causal inference and moral judgment.In this episode, we talk about causal cognition. We first discuss what it is, and what it means to attribute causality. We talk about counterfactual thinking, intuitive ideas about causality, causation by omission, and how people single out “the” cause. We also talk about causal learning in continuous-time settings, and then get into how causal cognition connects to attributions of moral responsibility, and how people deal with knowledgeable versus ignorant agents, and the role that intentions play.

Check the website here: http://enlites.comRECORDED ON APRIL 3rd 2024.Dr. Timothy Weaver is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Davis. Dr. Weaver studies human evolution, with a focus on the origins, evolution, and disappearance of Neandertals, and the related topic of the origins of humans who were anatomically and behaviorally modern. While his emphasis is on the later phases of human evolution, he has also worked on earlier periods, mostly in the context of the evolution of human bipedal walking and running and childbirth.In this episode, we start by talking about the evolution of the human cranium, and we go through a timeline from the last common ancestor with chimpanzees to H. sapiens. We discuss the factors that played a role in the evolution of the human cranium, and how the evolution of the cranium related to bipedalism and childbirth. We then talk about the origins and migrations of Neanderthals, contact and interbreeding between Neanderthals and H. sapiens, differences in the cranium between Neanderthals and H. sapiens, and how Neanderthals went extinct. Finally, we talk about changes in the cranium across the agricultural transition.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:44 A timeline for the evolution of the human cranium10:01 From H. erectus to H. sapiens19:06 Factors that played a role in the evolution of the human cranium26:13 Bipedalism and childbirth31:10 The origins and migrations of Neanderthals38:30 Neanderthals getting in contact with H. sapiens49:42 Differences in the cranium between Neanderthals and H. sapiens56:01 How did the Neanderthals go extinct?1:07:29 What are modern humans?1:17:17 Changes in the cranium across the agricultural transition1:25:47 Follow Dr. Weaver’s work!--Follow Dr. Weaver’s work:Faculty page: bit.ly/41y6eviResearchGate profile: bit.ly/3RDPRsu--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

We discuss whether pornography is harmful to the viewers, how censoring porn can also target sexual education in schools, as well as LGBTQ+ people. We talk about the traits of people who are against pornography. We discuss paternalism in the context of pornography, and how censorship can harm porn performers. We talk about approaches such as legalization and decriminalization, and how we can fight against trafficking.

He is the author of Sex Workers and Their Clients: In Their Own Words.In this episode, we focus on Sex Workers and Their Clients. We start by discussing why it is important to consider the perspectives of sex workers and their clients, what a sex worker is, and the stigmatization of sex work. We then frame the debate between prohibitionists and some sex workers and sex-positive feminists, and explore claims surrounding the satisfaction and wellbeing of sex workers; whether sex work is a choice; sex trafficking; exploitation and empowerment; coercion and poverty; the prevalence of violence; objectification; and the claim that sex work is the product of patriarchy. We also talk about how sex workers describe their clients, and the role of sex-positive feminists who are not sex workers.

Check the website here: http://enlites.comRECORDED ON JUNE 13th 2024.Dr. Kostas Kampourakis is author and editor of several books about science. He works at the Teacher Training Institute and the Section of Biology at the University of Geneva. At the Section of Biology, he teaches the courses “Biologie et Société” and “Comprendre l’évolution”. He is the author of several books, the latest one being Ancestry Reimagined: Dismantling the Myth of Genetic Ethnicities. He is also the Editor of the book series Understanding Life, published by Cambridge University Press.In this episode, we focus on Ancestry Reimagined. We talk about DNA ancestry testing, and common misconceptions people have about it. We discuss issues with terms like “nationality”, “ethnicity”, and “race”, and the idea of biological essentialism. We discuss whether it makes sense to talk about genes being from particular groups of people or regions of the globe. We talk about human populations, and the concept of cline. We discuss the differences between genetic ancestry and genealogical ancestry. We talk about how much human groups really differ genetically, and how we are all ultimately African. Finally, we discuss the idea of a “natural order”, the social consequences of genetic essentialism, and also the positive effects of learning about ancestry.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:36 DNA ancestry testing01:32 Common misconceptions about DNA testing05:51 Terms like “nationality”, “ethnicity”, and “race”17:47 Biological essentialism21:43 Are genes from groups of people or regions?29:38 Human “populations”33:05 Clines34:46 Genetic ancestry and genealogical ancestry38:55 We are all ultimately African41:53 How much do human groups differ genetically?46:55 A “natural order”, and the social consequences of genetic essentialism53:16 The positive effects of learning about ancestry56:37 Follow Dr. Kampourakis’ work!--Follow Dr. Kampourakis’ work:University page: tinyurl.com/mr3u9vufWebsite: tinyurl.com/2seaz49nResearchGate profile: tinyurl.com/232chj24Ancestry Reimagined: tinyurl.com/3xnv7sfeBooks on Amazon: tinyurl.com/e6ndw7fuTwitter handle: @KampourakisK--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Check the website here: http://enlites.comRECORDED ON MARCH 12th 2024.Dr. Tuomas Tahko is Professor of Metaphysics of Science at the University of Bristol. He specializes in contemporary analytic metaphysics, with an emphasis on methodological and epistemic issues: “meta-metaphysics”. He also works at the interface of metaphysics and philosophy of science: “metaphysics of science”. Broader research interests include issues in epistemology, philosophical logic, philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, and history of philosophy. He was the PI of an ERC Consolidator Project "The Metaphysical Unity of Science" (MetaScience, 2018-2023).In this episode, we talk about meta-metaphysics. We first discuss what it is, and how it relates to metaphysics. We talk about the differences between metaphysics and ontology, the different ways of conceptualizing reality, what mind-independence means, and realist and anti-realist positions in meta-metaphysics. We then go through concepts in meta-metaphysics like substances and properties; substance ontology and process ontology; a “first philosophy”; minimal truthmakers; natural kinds; fundamentality; foundationalism; essence, ground, and modality; and structure. Finally, we discuss whether there are any building blocks to reality.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:36 Meta-metaphysics07:57 The difference between metaphysics and ontology10:02 Different ways of conceptualizing reality13:38 What does mind-independence mean?20:38 Realist and anti-realist positions in metaphysics26:13 Are colors real?35:08 Substances and properties38:22 Substance ontology and process ontology43:21 What is a “first philosophy”?45:50 Minimal truthmakers49:48 Natural kinds54:55 Fundamentality1:01:57 A foundationalist approach to reality, and coherentism1:06:03 Essence, ground, and modality1:21:11 Structure1:22:45 Are there no building blocks to reality?1:32:38 Follow Dr. Tahko’s work!--Follow Dr. Tahko’s work:Faculty page: bit.ly/3G2G22dWebsite: bit.ly/3sF9mISPhilPeople profile: bit.ly/3MR5IlZTwitter handle: @ttahko--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Her research interests include animal behavior, comparative cognition, behavioral ecology, animal curiosity and innovativeness, social learning in animals, the captivity effect on animal cognition, developmental influences on cognitive development, and the effects of urbanization on animal behavior. Her research focuses on what makes animals explorative and creative and thereby increase their cognitive potential. In doing so, she studies the development of intelligence and how variation during ontogeny influence curiosity and thereupon following cognitive processes and skill learning.In this episode, we first talk about neophobia and apes, how they react to novel objects and foods, and differences between wild and captive apes. We then discuss the social information hypothesis; curiosity, and how it is shaped by ecology and sociality; the cultural intelligence hypothesis; and social learning and asocial learning. We also talk about the study of intelligence and cognitive performance in orangutans.

We start by discussing how to understand rationality from an evolutionary and neuroscientific perspective, how rationality relates to the emotions, and the concept of tethered rationality. We talk more broadly about the tethered mind, and the autonomic, instinctive, and associative systems. We discuss how the tethered mind develops. We talk about the role of feelings. We discuss coherence, and a control structure for tethered rationality. We talk about why sometimes it is so hard to change people’s beliefs, and the role of group membership.

His work is focused on the brain mechanisms of emotion and memory. He’s the author of many books, the most recent one being The Four Realms of Existence: A New Theory of Being Human.In this episode, we focus on The Four Realms of Existence. We talk about the idea of mind-brain dualism. We go through Dr. LeDoux’s work on split-brain patients, emotion, and cognition. We talk about the four realms of existence (bodily, neural, cognitive, and conscious), and how they relate to one another. We discuss how we go from the cognitive realm to the conscious realm, how to understand consciousness, and the different kinds of consciousness. Finally, we discuss how ideas like the self are barriers to discovery and understanding, and how we have hit an epistemological wall.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:36 The idea of mind-body dualism03:51 Dr. LeDoux’s work on split-brain patients, emotion, and cognition31:52 The four realms of existence: bodily, neural, cognitive, and conscious43:53 Understanding consciousness55:53 Ideas like the self as epistemological walls59:28 Follow Dr. LeDoux’s work!--Follow Dr. LeDoux’s work:Our first interview: youtu.be/TzhqTRtHx8wUniversity website: bit.ly/34zIf1XPersonal website: http://bit.ly/2sjuZzvBooks on Amazon: amzn.to/3nsP6TnThe Four Realms of Existence: bit.ly/41CClKATwitter handle: @theamygdaloid--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Check the website here: http://enlites.comDr. Geoff MacDonald is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto. In general, his research focuses on issues of social connection and disconnection. One emerging theme of his lab’s work is the intersection of singlehood and sexuality. He is trying to understand what predicts well-being in singlehood. Some broader issues that interest Dr. MacDonald now include thinking about attachment theory in light of longitudinal findings on the relatively small role of childhood treatment in adult attachment security, the role of Big 5 personality traits in attraction and maintenance of relationships, and better understanding what people are doing psychologically when they let go of a close relationship.In this episode, we talk about the psychology of singlehood. We start by discussing what singlehood is, and what counts as long-term singlehood. We talk about the relationship between singlehood and attachment style, and the factors that play a role in the well-being of singles. We discuss how many people want to remain single, why people want romantic relationships, how hard it is for some people to let go of their ex-partners, necessities and luxuries for singles, and what it is like being single in old life. Finally, we also discuss whether singlehood is on the rise worldwide, whether people care more about missed opportunities or rejection, and whether people are less judgmental of their partners when already in a relationship.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:42 What is singlehood?08:53 Singlehood and attachment style19:46 The well-being of single people41:11 Are there people that really do not want romantic relationships? 45:50 How many people want to remain single?48:23 Why do people want romantic relationships?53:41 Letting go of ex-partners57:55 Necessities and luxuries for singles1:04:38 Being single in old life1:09:12 Is singlehood on the rise?1:17:11 Do people care more about missed romantic opportunities or rejection?1:18:56 Are people less judgmental when in relationships?1:22:54 Follow Dr. MacDonald’s work!--Follow Dr. MacDonald’s work:Faculty page: bit.ly/3OLSkkdResearchGate profile: bit.ly/3OJYiC4Twitter handle: @gmacdonalduoft--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

She is currently particularly interested in understanding the overlap between homeostatic processes in the brain and body and mental health disorders. She is the author of The Balanced Brain: The Science of Mental Health.In this episode, we focus on The Balanced Brain. We start by discussing why we should care about mental health, the idea of the “balanced brain”, what mental health is, the role of pleasure and pain, different routes to pleasure, and whether austerity is always the best route to mental health. We talk about connections between the brain and the body, focusing on the immune system, the gut, and the gut microbiome. We also discuss how expectations impact mental health, how motivation works, individual differences in responses to interventions, and placebos and nocebos. We discuss whether antidepressants work, what we know about psychedelics, whether and how psychotherapy works, electrical stimulation, and deep brain stimulation.

She is well-known for her historical work on left-wing politics, especially the post-war British left, and for her intellectual biography of Raphael Samuel entitled The Histories of Raphael Samuel - A Portrait of A People’s Historian (2017).In this episode, we first talk about the history of European political thought, how old it is, and how it changed with the advent of modernism. We discuss the origins of “left-wing” and “right-wing”, and why these terms are problematic. We talk about the main tenets of anarchism as a political ideology, and focus on the topics of liberty and whether society needs hierarchy. We discuss the relationship between history and politics.

Check the website here: http://enlites.comRECORDED ON FEBRUARY 27th 2024.Dr. Susan Charles is Professor of Psychological Science and Nursing Science in the School of Social Ecology at the University of California, Irvine. Her research examines emotional processes across the adult life span. She is interested in how affective experience varies across the life course, and how differences in affective experience may be related to differences in cognitive and health-related processes. Dr. Charles is also interested in the interplay between health and emotion, including the relationship between physical health factors (both health behavior and health status) and emotional processes, and how these relationships may vary as a function of age.In this episode, we focus on affective well-being across the lifespan. We start by discussing what it is, how emotional function changes across the lifespan, biological changes that affect emotional processes, emotion regulation, and cognitive and health-related processes. We also talk about the role of individual differences, and the relationship between physical health and emotion. We discuss daily stressors, affective reactivity, and physical health. We talk about affective responses to negative social interactions, the role of rumination, and emotional memory. Finally, we discuss how social relationships change with age, the health benefits of close social ties, and loneliness among old people.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:37 Affective well-being02:43 How emotional function changes across the lifespan07:13 Biological changes that affect emotional processes09:03 Emotion regulation11:48 Cognitive and health-related processes13:03 Individual differences16:14 Physical health and emotion21:33 Daily stressors, affective reactivity, and physical health24:05 There are no bad hormones29:50 Affective responses to negative social interactions38:09 Rumination41.48 Emotional memory43:17 How social relationships change with age47:58 The health benefits of close social ties53:22 Loneliness among old people55:35 Follow Dr. Charles’ work!--Follow Dr. Charles’ work:Faculty page/website: bit.ly/3RZft4VResearchGate profile: bit.ly/3S5YDRU--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

He is a social psychologist whose research focuses on where morality intersects with religion, cultural attitudes and economics. Another rapidly expanding part of his research looks at human-technology interactions and the ethics of automation, including self-driving cars.In this episode, we start by talking about cultural differences between East Asia and North America in how people react to robots, algorithms, and AI. We talk about the example of robot preachers and credibility enhancing displays. We discuss people’s belief in free will, and how it varies according to the situation and some individual traits. We discuss whether people always follow their own self-interest in politics.

His areas of specialization are philosophy of mind, philosophy of neuroscience, and the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. He is a past Fulbright Fellow (2008-2009) and Visiting Professor at Brown (1997). He is the author of numerous books, the latest one being Nietzsche's On The Genealogy of Morality: A Guide.In this episode, we focus on Nietzsche's On The Genealogy of Morality. We first discuss what Nietzsche intended with a revaluation of moral values, what the genealogical method is, and philosophical naturalism. We discuss where other philosophers and theologians failed in their approaches to moral psychology, before getting into essay I of Genealogy, regarding the impact of ressentiment on Christian moral evaluation. We discuss master and slave morality, and the phenomenon of ressentiment. We then explore essay II, on the moral psychology of conscience and guilt, and essay III, on the meaning of the ascetic ideal. We talk about ascetic values in artists, philosophers, and scientists.

Dr. Guedes is an environmental archaeologist and ethnobiologist who employs an interdisciplinary research program to understand how humans adapted their foraging practices and agricultural strategies to new environments and have developed resilience in the face of climatic and social change.In this episode, we focus on foraging, agriculture, crop dispersal, and climate change. We start by talking about foraging and farming in the Tibetan plateau, the transition from foraging to farming as a gradual process, why and how people settle down, and the advantages and disadvantages of moving to agriculture. We discuss the study of the geographical dispersal of crops through genetic analysis, how climate change impacted foraging societies in East Asia, the spread of agriculture across the globe, and how humans enhanced biodiversity in specific places. We also talk about the relationship between grain crops, non-grain crops, and the development of states; and millets, rice, and social complexity in China.

We start by talking about the importance of studying gestures, the gestures of non-human animals, the functions of gestures, and their cognitive benefits. We discuss how gestures can help us learn new concepts, and their role in the classroom. We talk about nonverbal communication, and how it influences interpretation. We talk about the gestures (homesigns) created by deaf children. Finally, we discuss how the study of gestures can apply to parenting, and in the education system, by helping underprivileged children.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:45 Studying gestures04:00 The gestures of non-human animals06:16 Why do we use gestures when we have language?08:06 The cognitive benefits of gesturing11:10 Learning new concepts14:05 Gestures in the classroom17:34 Nonverbal communication, and how it influences interpretation23:43 Deaf children and their homesigns34:24 Parenting36:23 Education, and helping underprivileged children43:30 Follow Dr. Goldin-Meadow’s work!--Follow Dr. Goldin-Meadow’s work:Faculty page: bit.ly/49UblK8Website: ResearchGate profile: bit.ly/3Qe78sSThinking with Your Hands: bit.ly/46ThbJz--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

We start by discussing what people mean by “generation”, and how generations are arbitrarily established. We talk about how many times people do not identify with their own generation, and the stereotypes associated with the silent generation, baby boomers, generation X, the millennials, and generation Z. We discuss cohort and life course research, and the use of cohorts instead of generations. We talk about sociological factors that make people from the same generation different from each other.

His research interests include moral psychology, the history of ethics, early Chinese ethics, social epistemology, virtue ethics, and metaethics. Dr. Robertson’s research focuses on ways in which non-normative information should constrain our normative theorizing. He has written about the intersection of social intelligence and virtue ethics as well as situationist psychology and moral development in the context of early Confucian ethics, and is currently working on epistemic injustice and rhetorical manipulation.In this episode, we start by talking about normative theorizing (with a focus on ethics), non-normative information, and how non-normative information should constrain our normative theorizing. We talk about a novel version of metaethical Humean Constructivism: “perspectival naturalism”. We also talk about a pluralist approach to ethics. We discuss Confucian ethics and its moral anti-realist features. Finally, we talk about different forms of epistemic injustice, and what predicts continuation for women in academic philosophy.Time Links:00:00 Intro00:48 Normative theorizing, and non-normative information10:21 How non-normative information constrains our normative theorizing21:08 Perspectival naturalism42:49 A pluralist approach to ethics50:13 Confucian ethics and its anti-realist features1:06:06 Epistemic injustice1:19:47 What predicts continuation for women in academic philosophy?1:31:45 Follow Dr. Robertson’s work!--Follow Dr. Robertson’s work:Faculty page: bit.ly/469uw0sWebsite: bit.ly/3t8XhLZPhilPeople profile: bit.ly/3t5DgpD--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Hadley Professor of Social Welfare at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Rank is widely recognized as one of the foremost experts and speakers on issues of poverty, inequality, and social justice. He is the author of several books, the latest one being The Random Factor: How Chance and Luck Profoundly Shape Our Lives and the World around Us.In this episode, we focus on The Random Factor. We discuss what “randomness” means, how ancient people thought about chance and luck, the role of change in biological evolution, and whether randomness is studied in the social sciences. We talk about chance in human history; scientific discoveries and technological innovations; the lottery of life; the role of gender, race, and social class in life outcomes; poverty and economic inequality; and careers, marriage, and professional success.

She is an archaeological scientist interested in exploring the articulation between material culture, genetics, and biogeography to further theoretical, methodological and scientific advances in the field of human evolution. Her group is exploring the pan-African evolution of our species, Homo sapiens through a number of diverse projects.In this episode, we talk about human evolution. We start by discussing how it is studied. We then get into debates surrounding the origins of H. sapiens, and whether we evolved in one single population or across subdivided populations in Africa. We tackle a paper about human origins in “a southern African palaeo-wetland” from 2019, and we discuss why questions surrounding human origins might be problematic, focusing on science communication and politics. We talk about how diverse were the landscapes we inhabited across Africa. We then get into ot-of-Africa migrations by H. sapiens, what accounted for the success of the last one, and the routes H. sapiens took out of Africa and their timings.

We first discuss what economics is and its role in society, and the main tenets of mainstream economics, with a focus on supply and demand. We also discuss why these ideas are mainstream, and its real-life consequences. We talk about the 2008 economic crisis and how it should have been dealt with. We talk about an alternative approach to economics based on complex systems theory, and explore the example of how employment rates and wages evolve over time. We also discuss debt, inflation, how prices are determined, how money is created, and the role of banks. We talk about what GDP is, and the differences between financial capitalism and industrial capitalism.

Check the website here: http://enlites.comRECORDED ON JANUARY 31st 2024.Dr. Mauro Silva Júnior is Professor in the Department of Basic Psychological Processes at the Psychology Institute at the University of Brasilia. He works on interpersonal relationships, especially the traits of individuals and their social partners – such as sex differences, differences between parents and friends, and the use of technology as a mediator of social interactions. Moreover, he investigates the cognitive and memory aspects of the relationships with maternal and paternal parents, and friends; as well as levels of emotional and time investment.In this episode, we talk about the evolutionary psychology of interpersonal relationships. We go through the main factors that play a role in parent-offspring relationships, friendships, and romantic relationships. We talk about the role of personality in interpersonal relationships. We discuss what explains homosexuality in humans. We get into the role of sociosexuality in romantic relationships, how it relates to mating strategies, and how its risk-taking aspect played out during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we talk about mating systems in human societies: monogamy, polygyny, and polyandry, and we discuss whether polyamory is a distinct mating system.Time Links:00:00 Intro01:06 The evolutionary psychology of interpersonal relationships04:37 Parent-offspring relationships14:03 Friendships20:11 Romantic relationships25:04 The role of personality in interpersonal relationships32:06 What explains homosexuality in humans?41:58 The role of sociosexuality in romantic relationships52:50 Sociosexuality and mating strategies55:47 Sociosexuality and risk-taking during the COVID-19 pandemic1:03:55 Mating systems in human societies: monogamy, polygyny, and polyandry1:12:55 Is polyamory a distinct mating system?1:18:06 Follow Dr. Silva Júnior’s work!--Follow Dr. Silva Júnior’s work:Faculty page (in Portuguese): bit.ly/3p46GTgResearchGate profile: bit.ly/433UukmTwitter handle: @M_SilvaJunior--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.
