Great stuff. Building an alternative uni. Ran by wc intellectuals abd autodidacts. Gets top regular academics on that know the current situ is no good.
Greatly shorten the talks or practice scansion. Stop talking about talking imo
Really bad speaker only good when he’s talking abt how everyone but he and his crew are idiots, “time-energy” ain’t nearly as innovative as he thinks is basically a worse less insightful way of saying “alienation”. ik as society we overuse the term “narcissist” but Dave is 1000% what ppl have in mind when they use it. Also h*idegger is a self-confirmed n*zi deal wit 😌 but Mikey is very good and actually worth listening and learning from so don’t sleep on him
Ps: anne, dump him
Dump him.

This show centers on philosophy, education, and political theory, often exploring practical applications of big ideas for everyday life.

The format tends to feature thoughtful dialogue with recurring hosts and guest scholars, plus farm-life and DIY-leaning examples that ground abstract ideas in tangible living practices.
