Elucidations · Episode 153: Sam Enright discusses lifelong learning · 2 Jan 2026 podcast

you want to forget about what it felt like to be angry in the moment of the fight or something like that.

paradoxically might be easy to remember than the raw transcript of everything that takes place

So in episode 126 of this podcast with Agnes and Ben Callard, in which we answered a bunch of listener-submitted questions, one of the questions we got was, how do you keep learning philosophy after you're done with your degree or outside of an education context?

And all three of us, Agnes Callard, Ben Callard, and myself, immediately jumped on the answer, start a reading group.

Nothing, you know, in our three opinions, at least at the time, is a substitute for, you know, getting some interesting, meaty text, reading it in the group of people, and then just like talking through what's going on and trying to make sense of it collectively together.

And you've done a lot of work organizing reading groups in the UK.

How have you found the tactic of planning reading groups to fit in with some of these other methods we've been discussing for learning?

So a question that I get often is, is a reading group the same thing as a book club?

I found the same thing, actually.

And often if you want to study something where nobody's teaching a class on it, maybe the class literally doesn't exist in the world, much easier to throw a reading group together on it.

yeah and i think the exact format can vary a lot as well so gregory sadler comes to mind uh somebody who offers online philosophy courses and um

His response to the fact that attendance falls off rapidly in online MOOCs was to just literally assign no reading for any of the classes.

So everyone just shows up with zero prep, and then they just read the thing over Zoom in the online class.

So I think there can be a lot of different kinds of formats that can maybe be on offer in the tons and tons of reading groups everywhere at Utopia that we're envisioning.

So as time marches on, more and more of my students have been talking to me about how they use generative AI to supplement the learning process.

What are some ways that generative AI can contribute to this lifelong learning process we're describing?

Right,

traditionally the annoying thing about reading a book is you can't ask it questions, but

kind of can with generative AI, you know.

interactive.
