Dangerous Wisdom: What It Means and Why Philosophy Matters — With Nikos Patedakis, PhD

23 Jun 2025

Description

Philosopher and educator Dr. Nikos Patedakis joins me for a deep, expansive conversation about the soul of education, the legacy of Socratic inquiry, and the urgent need for meaningful dialogue in an era of accelerating technology. Nikos challenges the idea of philosophy as abstract theory and instead shows how it can be a transformational way of life. We also explore the ethical and existential questions raised by artificial intelligence—and how wisdom traditions might guide our path forward.Resources from Nikos: https://dangerouswisdom.org/hook💡 Big Ideas We ExploreWhat Socratic dialogue really means (it’s not debate)Why wisdom is different from intelligenceHow philosophy can lead to personal and cultural transformationThe relationship between values, education, and well-beingWhy technological power must be matched with inner developmentHow AI might benefit from philosophical frameworks—and what’s at stake if it doesn’tRethinking schooling: What would a “wisdom-first” curriculum look like?The timeless power of wonder, reflection, and shared inquiryConnect with Nikos:https://dangerouswisdom.org/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikos-patedakis/
