February 23, 2026·1h 24m
Episode Description from the Publisher

On this episode we interview Alec Bianco, director of marketing for the Circe Institute. We talk about education as an invitation (but how that balances with the necessity of boundaries), the power of the moral imagination, and then, finally, we dive into the topic of the Socratic command to "Know Thyself" contrasted with the modern temptation to "Trust Thyself."
