In the very first episode of the Corpus Christi Coastal Bent Podcast Scott Brooks and Jeffery Delgado discuss Steven Pinker's New Book, Enlightenment Now the case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress, and address the question, "is the world getting better or worse??" Is there more war now more than ever? Is over-population going to end life on the planet as we know it? Is the developed world spiraling toward an ecological apocalypse? All of these issues and more are discussed on the very first landmark episode of the Corpus Christi Coastal Bent Podcast.
