Hello! There have been so many events that have taken place.

Within this episode as we touch base on the Philosophy of Knowledge and Truth. Additionally, this episode contains quotes from Neil deGrasse Tyson and Mahatma Ghandi.

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.

Within this episode, two former students (Kainin Thomas and Eli Brown)and I discuss the foundation of order and chaos. This is a very broad or abstract topic that was rather difficult to define adequately. This episode comes directly after Ep. 19 (Philosophy of Context).

It is episode 18 of the Knowing You Know Nothing podcast. This week we are meeting to discuss the philosophy of the film, Manchester by the Sea (Spoiler Alert). I am joined by two of my former students, Leah Goodwin and Joseph Jones for their first ever podcast! I was very proud of them and this discussion really pushed my understanding of the film to a deeper level. Next week our episode will be on a topic in philosophy, but I felt it was a great time to do another movie discussion. Thank you for your support!

It is episode 17 of the Knowing You Know Nothing podcast. This week we are revisiting with Thomas Dixon (Ep. 10 Philosophy of Friendship and Ep. 13 Death, Dying, and Grief) to discuss the philosophy of stoicism. Again, neither of us claim to be deeply knowledgeable in this school of thought, but we are attempting to gain a deeper understanding of the topic by utilizing this episode as an introduction to the topic. We had a great discussion until technical issues delayed this episode for a part II (coming soon). We were mainly discussing what stoicism means to us, it's root meaning, and is it pragmatic (practical) in our contemporary lives. Enjoy!

Welcome back! I am so happy to continue the podcast. I am sorry for our delay since January. In this episode I attempt to lay out the near future for podcasts and topics. Additionally, to complete Grief and Loss, I discuss the topics from an article from Daily Stoic entitled, A Stoic Response to Grief. This article is attached below. We have also created a Reddit page for future discussions.

Question(s)from the podcast for group discussion:

1. Does the knowledge of impending pain and suffering hinder our abilities to view our mortality objectively?
