This short episode includes a talk with Substack writer, Stewart Margolis, whose topic, "Where To Find the New Intellectuals," was discussed. We talked about various 'currents' in the culture and how to find them. I brag about a certain achievement I'm proud of, and although I've forgot to mention the rise in Homeschooling, listeners should include that in the great advancements happening without publicity, which is a good thing.
