So what do Newton, Einstein, Heinlein, Vonnegut and Doug have in common? Only time will tell. Doug makes his own landmark contribution to the philosophy of Time Theory, Tom gives an outline of our historical "understanding" of time, and EVERYONE needs to read Slaughterhouse 5. Also, Byron Black (not the tennis player) was recently executed in Tennessee. There's a lot of debate over whether or not he was tortured by the state on his "deathbed," so let's talk some ethics in capital punishment.  For early episodes, bonus content, and to directly support the show please consider joining the 2DT Patreon.  You can also rep 2DT by getting some 2DT swag here.
