About

Insights from and explanations of philosophy, rationality, science and more. By Julia Galef (http://juliagalef.com). For more content, check out my podcast, Rationally Speaking (http://rationallyspeakingpodcast.org). Every two weeks I feature a discussion with someone in science, philosophy, math, etc. -- such as Peter Singer, Lawrence Krauss, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Robin Hanson, and more. Full transcripts available for recent episodes.

Video Description
