Self-Taught: Recent Episodes
Nathan Knox
A podcast for those who feel like something is missing - like the whole world is moving past them faster than they can make sense of. Based on the belief the intellectual capacity of the average person, our potential for grasping and engaging with complex ideas, is far greater than what is typically believed. This show is about an average person trying to truly understand important issues and ideas and how they are relevant to the average person's life. Philosophy, self-understanding, politics, psychology and more. Let's learn together.
Nathan speaks with Tareake Ramos about embracing our own authenticity, how the arts can be educational, and the different ways to address the Ahmaud Arbery tragedy. For more videos and conversations, support the project at patreon.com/nathanknox
