In this installment the issue at hand is fundamentalism, its nature, its causes, its apparent increasing global reality, its anti-science and anti-reason mindset and the cultural nuances therein, and also the question of whether fundamentalism is actually far more wide-spread in human society than we might imagine and if it's really only just simmering under the surface waiting for the right conditions to emerge. The discussion expands into the overall role and nature - for better or for worse - of religion in human culture. Plus other themes relating to how best to improve the lot of humanity and how to avoid potential disaster.
