She's, of course, for people who don't know her, a philosopher, novelist, public intellectual, and today we're going to talk about her latest book, The Mathering Instinct, How Our Deepest Longing Drives Us and Divides Us.
So, Dr. Goldstein, welcome back to the show. I mean, it's been seven years so seven years yes seven long eventful years since I saw you last yes yeah we went through an entire pandemic and and yes yes yes and all sorts of world shattering events.
So yeah, which perhaps are somewhat relevant to the matter we're going to talk about today. So uh what actually mather, I mean it's interesting that I use that verb here. So what is it to matter? What does it mean? Yeah.
