In this episode, Dylan and I continue our conversation on the American Public Education system this time with a focus on the General Education Board and John D. Rockefeller. We reflect on why a school system would teach its students what to think instead of how to think, and what we can do as critical creatives to think freely.

In this episode Kenny Jordan and I undergo a painter’s dialectic discussing how artists bring new ideas into the world through drawing. Everything around us first began as a drawing. Every building, car, product, image, began as a sketch. We take on this elusive and rarely considered idea in an expansive way.
