the author is the most self-absorbed know-nothing i’ve ever heard, which is really saying something. a pity and a waste as some of the guests are quite interesting.
No not that aristocracy in which we mistake the wealthy—the oligarchs—for some kind of quality…rather Entitled Opinions and professor Harrison evolved that word in its most clarifying truth; aristos, the finest the most excellence. See also arete.
Professor Harrison may you never go dark in these darkened times.
There’s a lot of interesting exploration of ideas here but on occasion it veers into territory that does not stand up to any critical analysis.
Specifically I am thinking of the episodes on Garry Nolan (UFOs etc) and Peter Kingsley (woolly headed sanctimonious mysticism), though doubtless there are other examples I have not heard.
Perhaps it should be ascribed to tendencies related to the counter culture of the 60s. Listen with a grain of salt imo.
A wonderful podcast for thinking people, and a calming antidote to the present moment. If there is such a thing as “slow podcasting,” (like slow food, slow reading, etc.) this is surely it. It’s a stimulating mix of good conversation and the host’s reflections, music, and readings that embodies a genuine love for a life of the mind without being pretentious. A throwback in a way, like listening to good radio from a simpler time. Highly recommend.
I myself tend to love the heavy philosophical episodes !!! I also love it when Thomas Sheehan comes on and really lets it rip!!
There’s too many great things to share about Entitled Opinions- the above is but a snapshot. But nevertheless I feel part of a silent community of thinkers united by this awesome show - where we all put “the garments of court and palace” on and retreat into the realm of thinking :)
Thank you for this amazing show!
