In this episode, we dig into doomsday preppers, a now-global phenomenon that's more relevant than ever given the tremendous amount of social and economic uncertainty facing us today. Are preppers nuts or prescient? Why is prepping important today? What are some considerations for those looking to become silent preppers, people who want to be prepared but don't let prepping consume them? We discuss.

In this week's episode, we discuss the global revolt against prevailing institutions and the growing desire to forget, or even outright annihilate, history. Using analogies from the evolution of Christianity, we conclude that the desire to forget the past, however abhorrent, is also because we as a nation don't see a certain future. If we aren't happy with where we are and don't know where we're going, all we can do is be frustrated with where we've been.

In this week's episode, we discuss the growing popularity of retail stock investing platforms like Robinhood and the heard mentality among retail investors that is driving up the prices of various stocks in ways that are likely unsustainable.

This week, we dispel the myth that conservatives are somehow silent or apathetic on the George Floyd crisis. We unpack the murder of George Floyd and discuss the implications that the subsequent protests, riots and police and military responses have on our democracy. We conclude that what we're witnessing is indeed a form of government tyranny and that protest and action are merited, perhaps even required, of citizens who care about the future of this country.

In this week's episode, we debate one of the most pressing questions facing governors, mayors, business owners and citizens: to open or not to open. How do we get Main Street economies across the country going again? How do we prevent further transmission of Covid-19 and avoid a second wave? How do we obtain the necessary information to make the right decisions? We unpack these questions as we look to find a balance between individual autonomy, the nation's economy, and public health.

In this week's episode, we explore why reading intentionally and consuming information thoughtfully is critical for a well-functioning society and fulfilling life in the information age. In an era of fake news, misinformation, bias, apathy and ignorance, nothing is perhaps more important than being able to systematically collect, understand, interpret and determine how best to act on information.

In this week's episode, we ask tough questions about how the future of society, humans and our cultural institutions will be transformed by the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue that this may be the Great Pause for some, but it's also a Great Panic for others. Indeed, the coronavirus crisis will affect different people and companies in very different ways. For some, this crisis could actually change how they work and relate to their families for the better. Others, however, may never recover.
