Just getting set up here.
I highly recommend this podcast episode on Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Star Talk.” The episode is about the science of revenge. The science explains what has happened in our country especially around the MAGA takeover, gun violence, and the breakdown of the social contract. It’s a free episode to.
