what a wonderful (social) world

Adj Jiao

We take cultural texts (shows, movies, books, food, music, art... anything, really) and bring them into conversations around social thought and philosophy, with the hope of understanding our social world a little better in the process. Hosted by Adj Jiao in English and Filipino (mixed)

    ep 4: Learning about the Lived Social World through Fiction (Part 1: Introduction)

    I go solo, talking about the potential of fiction as a tool to help us understand the real world more deeply. This is part one of a three-part series, which includes some initial discussion on Leo Tolstoy and Harriet Martineau.  hosted by Adj Jiao music by Benjie Jiao

    ep 3: Psycho-Pass and Utilitarianism

    We talk about Psycho-Pass (again), supposedly just to talk about things we didn't get to talk about in the last episode. We ended up with an even longer episode, now centered on what (little) we know about Utilitarianism and how it can be related to the anime series.  hosted by Adj Jiao & TJ Castillon music by Benjie Jiao

    I talk with my good friend TJ Castillon about Psycho-Pass, an anime series we both watched, and some ideas of Michel Foucault, a very influential thinker and personality.  hosted by Adj Jiao & TJ Castillon music by Benjie Jiao
