Episode 4: The Search for Purpose.....also Spock!

Alex and Dan open discussing Nancy Pelosi's admission that she sees dead people--and they all like her and what she's doing. Democratic candidate for the Maine Legislature, Paul Aranson, calls in again to discuss voting issues as well as economic interventionism. Dan and Alex then recommend history books. The guys then discuss Sean Penn's campaign trip to Venezuela and the phenomenon of "fellow-travelling" from 1917 to the present among academics and Westerners more broadly--and among professional historians.
