In this episode, we have Quinn Lewandowski on to discuss his favourite thinker Bertrand Russell, the simulacra levels concept, and how our norms around each level have changed over time. We also discuss why people today have less belief in their ability to solve difficult and complex problems, and what we can do to change that. NOTE: There's an audio error at about 36:13 where we drop off and drop back on for a second or two. Apologies in advance!
