Episode Description

James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana consider whether what feels like rising disorder America’s political and legal system is actually the result of entropy, as understood in a physics sense, and discuss what this means for people who value things like representative government and rule of law.  The guys then react to a recent article that argues that a rise in self-imposed perfectionism that may be tied to societal trends is making kids more anxious, as opposed to just increased screentime as may currently believe.
