Some of you may not know this, but you can actually get all of these episodes all the way back to my beginning archives,

ad free at patreon.com slash David C. Smalley.

Sometimes I do extra bonus content,

you know, you'll get to the end of a show

and like, oh, we're gonna finish this part of the conversation.

Yeah, that happens.

But sometimes the entire show goes out for free, but it's got a bunch of ads in it from the network.

So if you want to avoid those ads, Patreon.com slash DavidC. Smalley, I would love to have you over there.

Plus, you get to ask a bunch of questions. For example, in this episode, I

posted probably six or seven days ago if anybody has any questions for our upcoming

guest to post them right here in Patreon and we've got a bunch of questions that were

asked only by patrons. You get to engage, you get to interact, you

get to continue to be a part of the conversation at patreon.com slash David C. Smalley. Today's show is one that a patron Jacob, I believe, offered up as an idea and he was like hey I want to hear this guy on your show because he's always around the arguments and

That's the curious thing for those of us who who with this, right? How is it that you have heard

every argument that you have been a part of every discussion yet you are still holding on to your same worldview.

What is it about our brains that's so different than I heard these arguments 20 years

ago and stopped believing? You've heard the same ones and probably better

ones now because things have been so modernized, yet you remain in your faith or you remain in your political branch or whatever it is.

That thing starts to fascinate people. Those who have left your group turn around and look at you amazed.

So we finally get to tap into that today

and say, how can you still blank, right?

Whatever that is.
