S1E28 - Cultural Differences: Learn, Observe, Integrate (WOK, I-4–6)

Returning from our brief hiatus, we go on a mini-vacation with Rysn, Axies, and Szeth in the second set of interludes. We examine how the three approach cultures that are not their own. Covers Interludes 4-6 of The Way of Kings from The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.“Children who say hand dryers ‘hurt my ears’ are correct: A real-world study examining the loudness of automated hand dryers in public places” by N.
