In this episode, you might learn a bit about logic, philosophy, teaching, education, how a good education can make a profound impact in someone's life -- and you will learn about us.

Melanie and Michael discuss what the ReasonRx Podcast will be about, discuss our paper credentials and practical credentials, discuss what we have done in education, and discuss our point of view in education: where we are coming from and what we value.

Enjoy!

Wrapping it up: we are rational animals, and we have a specific nature, which we learn about by studying biology, evolution, and ecology. We want to/need to be better thinkers and know philosophy so that we can thrive and strive to be better and help others be better, and thus make the culture better so that we can all live better.
