Podcast #242: Liars, Rich People, and the Beauty of Meaninglessness

In DXP #242 we debrief a bit about the cruise we just took, after which we hear some pushback we got for being so dishonest (this leads into a discussion about media bias on the left and the right). We discuss a recent hotel-related documentary we watched, prompting a chat about the virtue of wealth. We then spend a fair bit of time fielding the objections we have heard about whether or not scientific materialism is "beautiful" (long-time listeners will appreciate the role-reversal in this discussion).
