Summary

00:00:00 - The Paleopals are joined by Massimo Pigliucci, of Rationally Speaking, to talk about philosophy, science, and philosophy of science. This here is the bulk of the episode, so enjoy as Dr. Pigliucci waxes poetic about the deep inner workings of the scientific system we all hold so dear.

Be sure to read the blog and listen to the podcast of Rationally Speaking.
But be especially sure to pick up Massimo's book: Nonsense on Stilts

01:06:07 - After we say goodbye to Massimo (and his glass of chianti), we say hello to our own Birra Artiganale, peppermint tea, and Abita, respectively.

01:09:55 - It's time to get inspired and literate with this week's trailer, the German (i.e. not funny) film Young Goethe in Love.

01:19:25 - Ryan starts with a mole rat from James C. (available for viewing on the Art... sort of page!), Kelly has an e-mail about philosophy of science (how appropriate!) from David H., and Charlie follows up on the difference between his voice and Patrick's(with a startling revelation!)

Thanks for listening. Our blog may not be as rational as our guest's, but we do try: Paleocave.com

Music for this week's show provided by:

Thinking Loudly - El Ten Eleven

Demons - Guster

Young, Dumb, and In Love - Mat Kearney
