trying (and failing) to talk science

firstly I've listened to a few random episodes and the speakers are entertaining.
empathy is a hard subject, since it is completely subjective. as a mathematician who studied neuroscience their statements about neuroscience are completely incorrect. finally all psychology "studies" I've ever read are extremely contrived/biased
