0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast. I am sitting this morning with Robert Wright, |
0:08.9 | who is the author of Non-Zero, The Moral Animal, and other books. Robert, what else have |
0:17.1 | you written? |
0:18.2 | Most recently, why Buddhism is true before that, the evolution of God, and my first book |
0:24.6 | was called Three Scientists in their Gods. There you go. So you and I are meeting this |
0:31.7 | morning in part because you raised my hackles with a tweet that you made effectively in |
0:40.6 | not such subtle terms, suggesting that I might have lost my marbles. Does that actually |
0:49.0 | make you think that you should put it that way? I'm glad mission accomplished. I got |
0:55.6 | your attention. I noticed that, you know, so I tweeted about a tweet that featured a video |

1:38.0 | not arguing that now. And the disagreement between you and Heather was whether I was saying |
1:44.6 | now I'm arguing he's Brett is completely crazy. Heather said, well, maybe he's just saying |
1:49.6 | this one thing you said was crazy. Actually, but she's closer to right. In fact, if you |
1:55.9 | look at my tweet, I think you'll find it's like 219 characters long. If I recall correctly, |
2:00.2 | I'd first written, I'm not arguing that in this case didn't fit. And I changed it in |
2:05.1 | this case to now. Now that said, I should say that, you know, I don't listen to your |
2:12.5 | podcast regularly. I'm sure you don't listen to mine regularly. So neither of us needs |
