This episode is about how we explain why bad things happen. We hear the story of Michael Jindra, a cultural anthropologist who challenges the common narrative around health disparities in the United States. Our topics include free will, systemic racism, and personal responsibility.
Michael’s blog: “Covid, Health Inequality and the Avoidance of Behavioral Explanations.”
