Quotations is about words, written and spoken throughout history. Words speak to us through our eyes and our ears. They enrich our lives, allow us to communicate thoughts to others, and sometimes, last for generations. This podcast explores not only the words, but the speaker, author, figure, or character who originated them. To whom were they said or written? What was their intended effect and on whom? What was the originator thinking? Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!

Anatol Rapoport was a mathematical psychologist (yes, that's a real field of study!) and is famous for his work on game theory, social network analysis (long before the modern versions), and conflict/peace studies. He famously created an algorithm for the Prisoner's Dilemna that was both elegant and simple.
In this episode, we explore the framework, proposed by Rapoport and brought to us courtesy of American Philosopher Daniel Dennett, of how we ought to approach difficult subjects with those with whom we disagree.
