Status and Personality with Patrick Durkee

February 24, 2026 · 2 h 20 min

Show notes

It all sounds simple and obvious, but in this episode with Patrick Durkee (CSU Fresno), we make "the familiar strange" and think through how an evolved mind may figure out how to invest our time and energy, what inspiration means, and what personality really is.
