What is or isn’t after death is outside the realm of rational thought. An atheistic view of no afterlife takes just as much a leap of faith as does the judeo-christian view. However, rational thinking does not preclude or dismiss the possibility of an afterlife. The first episode alluded to trying to persuade someone their belief in an afterlife is wrong by using rational thinking. This is not a label I’ve assigned myself, but something that is innate to my being and has been for as long as I can remember since I was a small child.

But Julia's doesn't bother me much maybe I'm growing up.īut I know enough to say this seems like a decent podcast. I've always found the vocal fry to be annoying and makes me think I'm listening to a teenager. One (can't remember the episode) spent ages talking about the problem and when asked for the solution, said it's very complex. And sometimes the guests are far too academic. There are not fluffy clouds in cloud computing but everyone is ok with the term. One recent one, the speaker said Gain of Function was not accurate and Julia fell over herself to make sure she used some term that he probably invented. Some endless debate over the definition of terms. But it's hard to find the topics but having to drop in to the podcast, listen to the same greeting, find out I'm not interested, then go out again. I already know it's Rationally Speaking and don't care what the episode number is. When I look at the list of shows, I see the title and episode number then the guest's name, then a word or two on the topic "Are ideas. And surprisingly, no politics at least for the 5 episodes I've listened to. Topics are good, good length, solid guests. I'd rate this 4 stars, but I suspect anything less than 5 is considered harsh. ![]()
