Show Notes

Reportedly over 100,000 migrants per month have been encountered in consecutive months at the U.S. southern border, so James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana consider the implications of this scale of activity from a historical, humanitarian, and political perspective (01:16).  The guys also take a look at an essay and related research which lays out why the common the human brain as a computer analogy is misguided (37:06).
