And

It's clearly something people crave.

And that's something I've been increasingly that truth has been like confirmed to me so much in sort of engaging with long form podcasting.

Yeah.

And again, this is not an endorsement of all of the views of the intellectual dark web, but maybe we can get into that.

But I think clearly people do have that need.

I'll add one more element to that which I've made very central in my podcast, because of course I'm coming at this from a very different place, both in terms of like me and where I'm coming from, because I'm not an academic.

I finished my NA almost eight, nine years ago now, and I've spent, you know, my time in political activism, political campaigning, uh doing all sorts of um social justice issue causes.

Over the last eight years or so.

And there's something that I do in my podcast, which is almost like an unmasking function, which I my slogan for my podcast is don't trust the world to be right, of like trying to question from first principles: are the moral intuitions that we have correct?

Are they universal throughout all of human history?

Do all people, and we talked about this earlier, desire all things?

And then also challenge.

People on where they think morality comes from in the first place.

So a lot of what my podcast has been doing.

is telling counter narratives about how the stories we tell ourselves about what's meaningful and desirable, what's ultimately true, what our ultimate foundations are, are oftentimes completely wrong.

And feel free to take me up on either end of that.

Yeah, I mean I think there's a tendency to get lost in it.

So with like Foucault, I think people are so impressed with the insight that which is obviously true that our fundamental values and the categories and concepts through which we process social reality are a result of historical causes and yes, historical oppression through which we had no control over.

You can kind of get lost in that analysis.
