How does a reasonable world produce an unreasonable leader like President Donald Trump?

from The John Spalding Podcast · host John Spalding

What Michael Cohen’s testimony before the US congress tells us about Donald Trump is pretty jarring. But how did humanity even arrive at a point where Donald Trump is its most powerful member? What does that say about us? How do we get ourselves out of this? The discussion begins with this podcast, which I recorded at a Dunkin Donuts in Brooklyn, NY, USA. Be sure to check out previous episodes of the podcast. You can see the website, support the pod, and get merch at http://www.happynihilistpodcast.com.  I will be attending Sam Harris' talk with Nobel Prize winning economist Daniel Khaneman tonight in New York City, and will share my thoughts at some point after the event.
