  <description>&lt;p&gt;Yoel and Mickey discuss sacred values. How are sacred valued different from other values? What are the hallmarks of values that have become sacrilized? Why does it seem crass, or even offensive, to suggest trading off a sacred value (such as diversity value) against other, more mundane considerations? What does it mean that sacred values are dose insensitive and evidence insensitive?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bonus: Do scientists who attended conferences sponsored by the late Jeffrey Epstein need to morally cleanse? &lt;/p&gt;
