You can't handle the truth! In this episode I discuss the issues with the notion of truth relative to objective reality and the challenges we face trying to assert a concept as being true.

In this Behind the Scenes snippet, I discuss my choice to monetise these podcast episodes. 

In this abbreviated episode, I reflect on Carl Hart and his book Drug Use for Grown-Ups, both of which are discussed in an Atlantic magazine article.

In this snippet, I relate how my text-to-speech voice talent falls flat and his difficulty pronouncing the noun can and the last name of Jean-François Lyotard.

Postmodernism was summarised by Lyotard as having an incredulity toward metanarratives. What does this mean? What are metanarratives, and why harbour incredulity toward them?

This episode is based on a blog post named Diversity of Thought, but the content has been refined and adjusted for this podcast series. This episode has been updated with a segment about Dr Cornel West's denied request for tenure by Harvard University. 

Join me and listen to my thoughts about the problem of diversity in the workplace and how the current focus is disingenuous.

Democracy is an old friend, but it may also be an anachronism. Does democracy have substance, or is it past its prime and merely provide an illusion of control? Join me as I share my perspective.

Join me as I explore the fundamental core of postmodernism or as I prefer to label it, disintegrationism. It is an audio rendering of a blog post I wrote in January 2021.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that I am new to Anchor by Spotify, and I experienced several issues in the text-to-speech process. At the start, there was an import process from the original post, which was not written with this conversion in mind. There were placeholders and footnotes that were not intended to be read as the main narrative. I hope someday, there will be a 'don't read me' tag. And there were typographical errors, which have since been fixed on the written page. Unfortunately, the programme does not allow me to re-import the copy, so I manually edited out the offending bits. The provided editing tools is a bit rudimentary, so some of the edits are, let's say, rough. Also, there were some redundant and otherwise unintentional words that may distract the listener. Je m'accuse. 

As for the text-to-speech, it actually quite remarkable. Please don't fault me for having chosen the male voice over the female voice offered. There are pronunciation and intonation issues. The voice sounds decidedly American, yet professional. 

Please bear with me through this learning process. On balance, this feels like a decent application. Perhaps more intentional content will follow.
