Transliminal Interviews - Episode 01

In this inaugural episode of the new 'Transliminal Interviews' series, I talk with psychology professor Azim Shariff about the origins of religion, morality, and how and why we make the moral judgments that we do.

Dr Shariff is a former student of Dr Jordan B Peterson, as well as a brilliant (and enviably well-published) young thinker in his own right.

To see some more, check out this sample lecture from the MOOC we made together. It's actually pretty funny, given the weightiness of the material (moral reasoning): https://vimeo.com/200656826/9cdbb78d26
