John Gibbs joins us from the United Kingdom to share wisdom from his career as an educator, and comedic speaker. He now hosts an outstanding podcast on philosophy The Spinoza Triad: Philosophy in our World which helps people connect the weighty wisdom of philosophers with their modern lives. John thoughtfully ties the modern world of comedy to philosophy by breaking down what makes us laugh into three major themes. In his justifiable critiques of American society, John enthusiastically praises America for the optimism it has represented to the world, and what we can still accomplish when we're at our best. Cheers!
