About this episode

This week, Alex and Kate discuss the rise in anti-intellectualism and willful ignorance. They discuss how the internet has destroyed people's abilities to argue, the total loss of literacy, and especially how this has shown up in the public response to Emily Wilson's review of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Plus a bunch of MTG talk!
