A Crying Saucer!

THOMAS CATHCART and DANIEL KLEIN return to Inquiry to talk about the logical fallacies that make up most of what we call political discourse. Talking to Tom and Dan is like trying to converse with some mad mythological creature that is part stand-up comedian, part Harvard philosophy professor. Hilarious and thought provoking. Tune in for another wild and wooly discussion as Thomas and Daniel  talk about their new book: Aristotle and an Aardvark go to Washington: Understanding Political Doublespeak Through Philosophy and Jokes.  

Is there life on other planets in our solar system? Is there a galactic civilization that occupies this tiny end of the universe? If there are aliens out there, how come we haven’t bumped into them yet? As Enrico Fermi put it: “Where is everybody?” Tonight on Inquiry, JEFFREY BENNETT, astrophysicist, author and educator will attempt to answer some of these questions. His very scientific approach to the search for life on other world is titled BEYOND UFOS: THE SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE AND IT’S ASTONISHING INPLICATIONS FOR OUR FUTURE. Tune in and find out why crop circles are a really dumb idea.
