Hello,
You've found The Liberal Soul.
In this inaugural episode I am joined by my friend Danica to give an introduction and overview on what inspired the creation of this podcast and what I hope to explore as more episodes come out.
Some of the main things we talk about in this episode are:
- Where the idea for The Liberal Soul came from in the first place
- My formulation for Highest Common Denominator and how I hope it to be the abiding heuristic for the podcast
- Liberalism as an embodied, human first, anti-solipsism based philosophy
- How I see the liberal soul as similar or different to stoicism
- How initiating kindness, vulnerability and curiosity is the starter for getting trust off the ground
- The paramount value of freedom of opinion because of the knowledge that every human is fallible and can be wrong
Additionally, there are spoilers for Batman Begins in this episode.
