Episode 05: Consilience, how we can better understand everything and each other featuring Tom Beakbane

In this episode, we’re joined by Tom Beakbane, author of How to Understand Everything: Consilience: A New Way to See the World. He’ll be interviewed by Alex Marinos, Founder and CEO of balena. Tom and Alex dig into consilience, the twin sibling of science. While science helps us better understand the natural and physical world, consilience is how we agree and understand the approaches of those subjects. Think of the last “a-ha” moment that you had. Yep, consilience is like that feeling. The two discuss how the practice of consilience can help us have a deeper understanding of one another and help us make better sense of this wild, wild world.
