Published: Jan. 21, 2020, 3:34 a.m.

Hello! Listen in on our special conversation honoring Martin Luther King Jr. In Episode 23, as I have a conversation with fellow podcaster and teacher Brian Tonsoni. Additionally, we brought back Cody Watkins to extend our discussion from the topic of dominance and hierarchies. In our first segment, our conversation analyzed the following quote: “Peace cannot be built on exclusivism, absolutism, and intolerance. But neither can it be built on vague liberal slogans and pious programs gestated in the smoke of confabulation. There can be no peace on earth without the kind of inner change that brings man back to his "right mind". p. 31 - Thomas Merton, Gandhi on Non-Violence Reference Article: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/04/televisions-civil-rights-revolution/554639/ Twitter: @kyknownothing and @robiemalcomson The title of this podcast was inspired from the famous ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates. In reference to Socrates, Plato stated “I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” This philosophical outlook represents my personal journey throughout the world of philosophy and education. I have dedicated this podcast to covering topics in culture and society. This may include pop-culture, history, art, and current issues. My goal is to provide a foundational understanding of basic philosophical concepts for the public domain through constant networking. Thank you for joining me in this journey.
