Past Present Future

I’m listening to the ‘Great Political Films’ series and it’s an absolute treat. Pick an episode for a film you’ve seen before, you’ll want to watch that film again immediately afterwards!

I am about to listen to the silent majority show, and I am old enough to remember the original meaning, which is that all they did was vote. They didn’t go to town meetings, they didn’t answer opinion surveys or write letters to the editor, but they did always show up and vote.

I am no intellectual but I am a ruminator. For anyone who wants to think about commonly held beliefs, bad and good ideas, this is the show for you. My only question is, if we cannot trust our emotional responses, and our intellectual beliefs are all underpinned by biases, what do we trust about our engagement with the world, with people, and with ideas?

Excellent dialogue with thoughtful, in-depth discussions. I have heard several interviews with Rory about his book. They seem so superficial compared to this one.
