- #2 - Beyond Good and Evil: Trump, Musk, and PowerIn this episode, we discuss Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, focusing on how one might operationalize Nietzschean master morality in the modern world. We compare the leadership styles of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, asking: who's the better Nietzschean, why, and what does this mean for us? We also continue the conversation that we started during Episode 1, further reflecting on stakeholder theory and "creating shared value," as well as touching on the potential limits of capitalism to solve our most critical problems. Spoiler alert: Juan Pablo is more skeptical than Jason.The views expressed on this podcast are our own.If you enjoy what you're hearing, please follow/support us through any of the below media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PanopticpodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/panopticpodWebsite: https://www.panopticpod.com/Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pan-optic-podcast/id1475726450Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0edBN0huV1GkMFxSXErZIx1 hr 20 min
- #1 - The Hawthorne FableIn this episode, we discuss the so-called "Hawthorne Studies," a series of studies in 1920s Chicago to examine possible relationships between environmental conditions (e.g., lighting) and labor productivity. Business schools often teach that the Hawthorne Studies' greatest achievement was revealing a relationship between workers' sense of being supervised and increased output. But this may not be the whole story. We analyze one of the Hawthorne Studies (where subjects were tasked to assemble telephone relays) from Foucaultian, stakeholder theory, and personal anecdotal standpoints. We also attempt a critique of Foucault. This is our first episode.

About Pan-Optic Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Pan-Optic is a podcast featuring conversations between a critical theorist and a management consultant, cohosts (and longtime friends) Juan Pablo Melo and Jason Margaritis respectively.
They met during a monotonous work assignment at a Washington-based government contractor in 2013. Jason and Juan Pablo sought refuge in daily extended work breaks musing about the limits of knowledge, the organizations of power, the regrets of Thrasymachus, and so on.
Later, Jason received his MA in Government and MBA from Johns Hopkins University. Today, he works as a management consultant specializing in strategic communications and org change. Jason is particularly interested in affecting stakeholder beliefs, behaviors, and culture.
Juan Pablo is a doctoral candidate at Stanford University's Program in Modern Thought and Literature. His research interests span media theory, literature, architecture, art history, urban theory, and science and technology studies.
"We made this podcast to continue exploring the intersections of our respective disciplines, in a way that others might find useful. Pan-Optic relates theories of communication, power, and technology to practical institutional issues, and everyday life."
