    A different perspective.

    The most recent podcast from Sam Harris is a conversation with Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert cartoon). It's illuminating and gives (perhaps) some rationalisation for the Orange Goblins behaviour.

    I've asked on here before about the justification and support for Trump and his seemingly ludicrous behaviour with little insight other 'he's a fucking mad fucker'. This podcast delivers a perspective that goes some way to explaining and justifying the way Trump behaves.

    If you get the chance, it's worth a listen.
