This is the last Mind Escape episode for 1.0 and going forward it will be known as Mind Escape New Telos. No more perfect way to end 1.0 than to go full circle with Maurice on his weird experience. Mind Escape New Telos is coming soon and will no longer be live. It will be edited and released on Tuesdays. Stay Tuned!

*Welcome to a journey into the origins of thought, where we explore the minds that shaped the very foundations of our understanding. Hello, my name is Mike and I am the host of Mind Escape Podcast. I am happy to share my new series called Masters of Rhetoric. Masters of Rhetoric is a free bi-weekly course/podcast that will air on Mondays. The goal is to draw from the earliest philosophers, scientists, and critical thinkers to help navigate the current technological paradigm. In a world where divisive and eristic rhetoric often dominates online spaces, I believe it’s crucial to return to the roots of dialectic. This approach can offer the thoughtful discourse that humanity desperately needs today.
