Vertical Thinking with Nathan CheeverCompulsion or Charity? A Look at What’s Behind Political CorrectnessIn this episode, I talk about the allure of correctness, how I fell into a correctness trap in high school and lost some friends by my over-vigilance in correcting their grammar.

Love of humanity/society? Tolerance? I end by discussing the effects of PC on our ability to learn and think, and if not political correctness, what can we seek to aim at a more tolerant...2023-07-2431 min

Vertical Thinking with Nathan CheeverIan T. Ramsey's Models and Mystery - an Investigation of Metaphors with Tyler CalderThis week, Nate and Tyler discuss a short essay by Ian T. Ramsey called Models and Mystery. And as the name implies, we go beyond the syntax and into Ramsey's ideas of cosmological connection that metaphor makes possible.
