Truth Wanted

Good evening truth seekers! Our host today is ObjectivelyDan joined by guest Gutsick Gibbon (aka Erika!). Erika kicks off the show with a fascinating summary of what she does, she studies anthropology and goes on to talk about human evolution, the depth of the other hominids, consciousness, and much more!
Jumping into calls, first up we have Jeff from California, wanting to know if we should pose challenges to meditation or buddhist “woo”?
Next up we have Zac, from London! Zac is wondering how people who don’t have a belief in god have morals. Erika makes a great point about how our primary ideas of “morality” are consistent amongst other cultures, other religious beliefs, and even other primates!
Jumping to AZ, from Texas! From San Antonio, wondering if the stereotype of Texas being extremely conservative and Christian is starting to go away. Are people becoming more secular?
Next up we have Jacob from New York! He wants to talk about how we got here, but now why. They dive into quantum mechanics, laws of physics, and big bang.
Last up we have Ben from Texas! Ben wants to ask about how veganism ties into anthropology and evolution. While this is a difficult question, morals certainly play a role. They hosts tackle this question from a number of different angles.
