Episode: Religion Beyond Theology - Nassim Taleb on Religion
Description: Is religion a scripture? Is it a tolerance (or intolerance) mechanism? Or is it just a broad set of dietary rules?
This week we dive into Nassim Taleb's article 'Religion, Violence, Tolerance & Progress: Nothing to do with Theology'. The 'Black Swan' and 'Anti-Fragile' author dives into the history and social consequences of religion beyond the mere scriptures. Speaking of diets and even intolerance as methods for the propagation of religion he opens new avenues in thinking about religion.
