Rationally Speaking podcast: Dear Abby

In honor of the passing of Dear Abby columnist Pauline Philips, Massimo and Julia talk about the history and philosophy of advice. How do you rationally evaluate advice, and how do you give rational advice?

Along the way they discuss some of Dear Abby's snarkiest moments, the origins of the advice column in 1680, and some of the worst advice ever given.

Julia's un-pick: "Cloud Atlas."

Massimo's un-pick: "Is Philosophy Finally Without God?"
