What insights on social psychology can be gleaned from ancient texts? William Ian Miller is a professor of law at the University of Michigan and prolific author. His work is that of a polymath and covers everything from Icelandic sagas ( Bloodtaking and Peacemaking: Feud, Law, and Society in Saga Iceland ; ' Why is your axe bloody?': A Reading of Njals Saga ) to philosophical meditations on what makes us human ( Outrageous Fortune: Gloomy Reflections on Luck and Life ; Humiliation: And Other Essays on Honor, Social Discomfort, and Violence ). William joins Greg to discuss the varying themes across his body of work including, luck and magical thinking, law and violence in Icelandic sagas, competition and humility, and the purpose of disgust. *unSILOed Podcast is
