Bob explains to X the alien what human laws are, what they are used for, who creates legislation and how it was created. They also engage in a discussion about why we need laws (if we need them), and what the first laws looked like. Do you want to learn about not so “common” laws? Then don't miss the third episode on Bob and X's deep dive into people's day-to-day habits.
X is an alien that has chosen to do its PhD on "Habits and Behaviors of Multicellular Neural Pre-Enlightenment Organisms'', which includes humans. Bob is helping X with its PhD by answering its questions about human behavior, social norms, and culture.
