Experimental philosopher and artist Jonathon Keats joins Heather Ross to chats about his early days as a future Talmudic scholar and his present day as an experimental philosopher, or practitioner of purposeful purposelessness. Keats describes his latest project, slated for Fall 2017 installation at the Arizona State University Art Gallery, which imagines the future of democracy as a random number generator and philosophical toy.
