We explore the music people like—and learn to love the music and people we explore. Listen to Gus Domenick and Tony Domenick (real life brothers who share passions for music, teaching, and being cooperative people) discuss music we like, how to like more things, the implied "for me" of preferential statements, and ultimately how to foster more cooperation and understanding for all humans. We get deep into harmonic and rhythmic analysis, singing styles, economics, and behavioral philosophy—what should we do, and why?
