Quotes from the episode

Learning is hard. Your job as a professor, as a teacher, is to help make it understandable, to help make it easier.

If you look at free speech from a historical and neuroscientific perspective, you can get a much better sense of people’s motivations and the continuing patterns that we see through history of people being really pro free speech until it affects them.
-Barbara Oakley
