What Patrick and Anna share is: 

·      A deep curiosity about other people’s perspectives and ways of thinking. 

·      An appreciation of nuance and complexity. 

·      A sense of being politically homeless. 

·      An interest in looking more deeply at current trends and dogmas.

·      A love of Stoic thought.

·      A desire for conversations that are not about point-scoring, poking holes into other people’s arguments or converting them to our ways of thinking, but that are based on respect and a genuine wish to learn.
