- Society & Culture
Our culture is in crisis and I don’t trust woke universities and authoritarian governments to give us the solution. I examine modern culture through history and anthropology, as well as other sources like indigenous knowledge and common sense. This is a show for those who love academics but hate academia, and want to learn about social studies without the constraining limits of woke universities.

057 - Politics of Identity w/ The Prudentialist
Identity, Multiculturalism, and Societal Shifts
Written by AI for Keywords and Simplicity. (Do not blame me for how it sounds college liberally)
Prudentialist Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePrudentialist
Prudentialist Substack: https://theprudentialist.substack.com/
I, Illegitimate Scholar, together with the Prudentialist discuss identity, multiculturalism, and the evolving societal dynamics of 21st century America. We discuss the effects of mass immigration, the nuances of assimilation, and the profound impact of demographic shifts on politics and culture. We critically address the commodification of identity, the role of media and institutions in shaping perceptions, and the influence of identity politics on contemporary discourse. Through an in-depth analysis that includes historical injustices, governmental policies, and the implications of globalization, we shed light on the challenges and opportunities presented by a multicultural society. Our discussion aims to provide a profound understanding of the intricate relationship between personal identity, societal structures, and cultural changes, offering insights into the ongoing debates around diversity, inclusion, and the shaping of public policy.

055 - Why an Italian Zoomer Converted to Buddhism
Why an Italian Zoomer Converted to Buddhism
This is the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast and this week I interview Theravada Buddhism practitioner, Angelo. Originating from Italy, Angelo narrates his transition from Catholicism to embracing Theravada Buddhism, discussing its practices, impact on morality, and viewpoints on gender roles, compared to Nichiren Buddhism and Westernized versions of the faith. The conversation extends to Angelo's critical view on abortion, political, and social concerns through a Buddhist lens. I address Buddhism's nuanced relationship with modern ideologies, debating its non-alignment with fixed political beliefs and detailing its influence on topics like immigration in Italy. It contrasts the allure of Buddhism in the West, its empirical approach through karma, and the vibrant Buddhist community across Italy, enriched by diverse practices and historical ties, including those to Julius Evola. The dialogue concludes by underscoring the importance of exploration and learning in understanding Buddhism's role in contemporary society and personal growth.
