Episode 33: Andrew and Jerry Remember 9/11

While originally planning on focusing exclusively on remembering and memorializing 9/11, Andrew and Jerry couldn't let the passing of Britain's Queen Elizabeth go by without some extensive discussion.

How do you square the deaths of figures who have complicated histories--what's an appropriate reaction.

Elizabeth reigned for seven decades, and Britain was transformed during that time (as was the rest of the world).

The conversation ranges widely over sociological and anthropological changes, in which Andrew and Jerry touch on the transition from a needs-based society to a wants/demands-based one, how people have become more self-centered, and how the skewing of adoloesence upwards figures into all of this.
