“Level 5 Irrationality in the Wake of Harvey & Irma,” TODAY at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT)

On today’s show we’ll look at three types of irrationality on display in the wake of these destructive hurricanes. Is the irrationality more destructive than the hurricanes? More stories, too. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss.

“Who’s Appealing to Emotion in the Debate over DACA/Immigration?” TODAY at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT)

In a recent discussion I had on Twitter about DACA, I argued for radically expanding legal immigration and was accused of appealing to emotion. Was I? Or was my interlocutor (and do immigration opponents do so, more generally)? This and more on today’s show. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss.

“The Consequences of Cowardice,” TODAY at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT)

Philosopher Ayn Rand was quoted as saying “I am not brave enough to be a coward. I see the consequences too clearly.” What have been the consequences of cowardice with respect to North Korea? What might be the consequences with respect to Antifa? This and more on today’s show. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss.
