Hanging with History
The first season focuses on the origins of the Industrial Revolution or the Great Enrichment, we go deep into history to gain enough background knowledge to actually understand the various theories of the origins of the Great Enrichment. Eventually we learn that we also need to know how the miracle was consolidated, as the many other close approaches to the Industrial Revolution failed.A kwirky style, but intellectually ambitious with the goal of understanding history well enough to understand the miracle that happened that one time. It's gonna be a long series.

The Reformation in Germany Part 1. Martin Luther, they didn’t have a prayer. With the help of Kurt Gödel via Scott Aaronson we examine Purgatory and the related prayer industry. How can we understand a prayer industry? This leads to indulgences. The great weakness, the great mistake of the church. We try to bring the scummy, scammy nature of indulgences to a 21st century sensibility. The conflict between Martin Luther and Tetzl. Grace vs Authority. Roberto Calasso and Augustine. The Diet of Worms. Conversations with Camie touches on whether we should try to classify love. Joltin' Joe episode.
