The Gardener & The Carpenter: Zombies, Oxytocin, & Vaccine Hesitancy
Description
We explore excellence with exciting career news, removing ingrown toenails, and avoiding zombies. Then we attain imperfections in our budget and exercise routines. We start our discussion on Alison Gopnik's book, "The Gardener & The Carpenter" with a discussion on why the "parenting" model is insufficient, the connection between immaturity & prolonged lifespan, and the powers of oxytocin to "tend & befriend" but also to make ingroup versus outgroup. We then take a major to detour to discuss ingroup versus outgroup in the context of institutional racism and vaccine hesitancy. Then we end with a new quote for the Parent Board!
