Description
In order to give you all a break from the talk about the end of the world, this episode has Jonah speaking with psychologist Dr. Michele Gelfand about one of his pet-obsessions: “tight” and “loose” theories of culture. Why do places like Japan and Singapore seem to be in lockstep while the U.S. is so freewheeling? How should we tighten up, culturally, as a response to COVID? And why are Mexican teachers unions so weird? We ask the hard questions here on The Remnant, so don’t miss it.Show Notes:-Michele’s book, Rule Makers, Rule Breakers-The complexity of fractals, for those who actually understand math-Michele’s Tight-Loose Quiz-Mexican teaching jobs are given to… teachers’ kids?-The gum-free land of Singapore-D.E.
