War The Making And Unmaking Of Man

In this podcast, Razib Khan talks with us about War. This podcast was an expansion of the 2 part essay Razib wrote for his substack. We chat about the human tendency to fight, where it comes from, and how it is going, the different world views when it comes to explaining the phenomenon of war.
