We're in the first part of "In the Company of Birds and Doubt," a precious two-part discussion outdoors. I'm joined by the crew Annie Mohr, Cole Piraino, Lilly Killinger, Yule Kwon, plus one new member, Jessica Dang, to debate bias, morality, and how we make hard choices.

Episode in a 🌰:Should we live by reason or emotion? Is altruism real, or evolutionary self-preservation in disguise? Is “evil” a choice? From creepy vans to the trolley problem to a flying shoe, we wrestle with the deep stuff.
