Thank you, John for all these excellent podcasts. They remind me of the great books I’ve read & inspire me to read those I haven’t.
Superb
I look forward to each new installment.
lol. no.
so this is conservative intellectualism? perfect.
all these morons whinging about liberal bubbles and safe spaces.
honestly, if you do consider yourself a serious person, take a minute, and look at the selections. the "classic" "western" "canon" (by definition that's elitism, no??) is far more wide and more diverse than this. you are selecting works, and interpreting them to soothe and validate your preconceived worldview.
honestly, ask yourself "serious person," why such safe choices?
what is actually so sad is that you're all too ignorant to even know that there is so much more and better out there. and you're missing out.
