Episode 11: With Carl R (On Humanity and Survival, Family History and Identity, Media and Politics and Other Minor Concerns)

from Jonah Asks · host Jonah Hall

Welcome back to Jonah Asks. In this episode, meet Carl. I've known Carl since I was a young child. Our families had dinners together and both families had two boys around the same age. We played all kinds of games growing up. Now, we're middle-aged and have families. In this talk, Carl described working in international peace and security and a life dedicated to promoting peace and nuclear governance. Carl has a grounded sense of humanity and purpose that made for a riveting conversation about truth, risk, family, managing time and technology, the complexity of identity, and politics.
