Knowing You Know Nothing

Welcome back to episode 31 of the Knowing You Know Nothing Podcast. Tonight my guests are from the Reel Talk: A Movie Podcast that was just recently started by Wes Jones, Tommy Wood, and Gabe Conway.

I asked all three of them to join me for a philosophical discussion on issues in film/movies and to discuss different philosophical perspectives on relatable issues. I have been personally interested in the value of story-telling and these individuals helped me gain a new, deeper perspective about the topic(s).

Thank you for your time!

Hello! My name is Robie Malcomson. This podcast episode covered the philosophy behind the 2013 video game, The Last of Us by NaughtyDog. This was an excellent way for us to discuss philosophical themes and topics demonstrated throughout the game. I was joined by Litha Shoulders, Ben Malcomson, Joe Dan Laster, and Elizabeth Fulcher. This was a fantastic opportunity to talk about something we all truly enjoyed.

The title of this podcast was inspired from the famous ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates. In reference to Socrates, Plato stated “I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” This philosophical outlook represents my personal journey throughout the world of philosophy and education. I have dedicated this podcast to covering topics in culture and society. This may include pop-culture, history, art, and current issues. My goal is to provide a foundational understanding of basic philosophical concepts for the public domain through constant networking.

Thank you for joining me in this journey.

Hello! Listen in on our long, but extremely enjoyable conversation on forgiveness. We had a panel discussion with Litha Shoulders (from Philosophy of Love and Philosopher of Knowledge & Truth, Rachel Johnson, Dawson Rogers (Philosophy of Knowledge & Truth), and Bill Murphy (from Hoosiers-United).

In our first segment, our conversation analyzed the following quote:

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Hello! Listen in on our first conversation over the topic of love. This is a very broad, abstract topic to tackle. Therefore, we decided to do a panel discussion to get a base understanding of the philosophical meaning of love. I am joined by Litha Shoulders, Anne Partlow, and Hannah Keith as we traverse the confusing conversational landscape of this topic. Enjoy!

In our first segment, our conversation analyzed the following quote:

"We accept the love we think we deserve.”

- Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Hello! Listen in on our special conversation honoring Martin Luther King Jr. In Episode 23, as I have a conversation with fellow podcaster and teacher Brian Tonsoni. Additionally, we brought back Cody Watkins to extend our discussion from the topic of dominance and hierarchies.

In our first segment, our conversation analyzed the following quote:

“Peace cannot be built on exclusivism, absolutism, and intolerance. But neither can it be built on vague liberal slogans and pious programs gestated in the smoke of confabulation. There can be no peace on earth without the kind of inner change that brings man back to his "right mind". p. 31 - Thomas Merton, Gandhi on Non-Violence
