Welcome to Unending Process - the evolutionary thinking tank....podcast.
This is a continuation of the Permanent Evolution and Sympathetic People podcasts.
This week Johanahan and Tim discuss education (in part 1) and evolutionary thinking (part 2). Part 2 is much longer, but contains all the juicy evolutionary pontificating, so don't hesitate to skip to it if that's your bag!
In part 1, we talk about some of the problems with university education, including the importance of being challenged and mentoring.
In part 2, we talk about the origins of evolutionary thinking in the ancient world, and then take a random walk across the philosophical landscape, touching on the mind, Buddhism, ethics and a bunch of other stuff....
Thanks for listening - enjoy, share, comment, criticise!

Episode 8 - Reading: Is "intelligence" a social construct?
In episode 8 of the Permanent Evolution Podcast Joha reads a short excerpt from a paper by Robert J. Sternberg on Intelligence which stimulates a wide-ranging discussion between Drs Jackson (Tim) and Coludar (Joha) concerning the nature of intelligence, conservative values, cross-culturual studies, and much else besides.
The article's abstract can be accessed here:
