090 - We Are Not the Heroes, ft. Greg Epstein
Listen now
Description
On this episode I speak to Greg Epstein, humanist chaplain at Harvard University and MIT. In this wide ranging conversation, Greg and I talk about his upbringing and some of the events that led to where he is today at two of the most prestigious universities in the United States, working to build meaningful community among the non-religious and ask difficult questions about the ethics of technology. We recorded this conversation in the immediate aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and the uprisings for racial and economic justice around the United States. Mentioned in the episode: Greg's book, Good Without God. https://www.amazon.com/Good-Without-God-Billion-Nonreligious/dp/006167012X Greg's writing for TechCrunch | https://techcrunch.com/author/greg-epstein/ Is this sadness or anger?
