It was good to talk stuff with David Runciman again, this time gold, silver, and what happens when there is just money either backed by states or created by banks.

🎈🥳 Happy Birthday to us!!! 🥳🎈 Wow, what a year it's been. We've been beyond thrilled by all the response to what we've done so far (LOTS more to come!), but we're not gonna lie, this particular accolade is still the one to beat ⬇️🤣

In the 1st episode of our new series about the history and hold of bad ideas, David talks to the geneticist and science broadcaster @AdamRutherford about eugenics. Is a new age of consumerist eugenics upon us? You can listen to the full episode here: linktr.ee/ppfideas
I absolutely loved talking to David about a very bad idea. And we recorded another bad idea for later in the series… but no spoilers.

@AdamRutherford is amazing on this- so lucid on the fascinating history (and current relevance) of eugenics. Important listening for evolutionary biologists and geneticists to understand some of the dark origins of our subject.

We wrapped up the @PPFIdeas @LRB history of freedom series by discussing liberation movements (colonialism, socialism, feminism, LGBTQ, environmentalism, animal rights and even child liberation & Pippi Longstocking). I doesn’t take “too many evenings” - just under an hour 😊👇
NEW EPISODE OUT NOW - business as usual! In the final episode in this series David & @lea_ypi discuss liberation movements. Is liberation about equality or is it about difference? And who needs liberating next? Listen here...🎧 linktr.ee/ppfideas
Rather than reading this unpleasant article, I would commend to you the @PPFIdeas series of conversations between Lea Ypi and David Runciman on freedom. I found it quite invigorating and as I have said before, it's nice to encounter really engaged back and forth argument.

Things are pretty bad, but one of the best political philosophers working today has a podcast series with David Runciman. If you need a break from the news, I recommend listening to Lea Ypi.

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW! In ep 7 in this series David & @lea_ypi discuss two 20th-century philosophies of freedom & the human psyche. Is there any escape from bad faith? What can we learn about freedom from being put on the couch? Listen here...🎧 linktr.ee/ppfideas
Thanks Jon. A new take!
It's episode 6 in our series about different ideas of freedom and David & @lea_ypi are looking at anarchy and nihilism. How did we get from the influence of anarchic thought to Jeff Bezos in a single generation? You can listen to the full episode here: linktr.ee/ppfideas
In episode 6 of our series on freedom David and @lea_ypi explore anarchism and nihilism. If nihilists are against everything, what are they are for? And why isn't Lea a fan? You can listen to the full episode here: linktr.ee/ppfideas
NEW EPISODE OUT NOW! In episode 6 of our series about different ideas of freedom David and @lea_ypi have reached anarchism and nihilism. What can nineteenth-century anarchists teach us about freedom in the twenty-first century? Listen here...🎧 linktr.ee/ppfideas

@HelenHet20 Your fracking point was a really interesting left turn I didn’t see coming and was a great insight. Good to hear you both chatting again. Fingers crossed for more in the future.
@HelenHet20 This looks excellent. As someone with gold bug tendencies, it’s good to get a steadying corrective from time to time, ha ha. Downloaded for longish drive to Sunday lunch.
@HelenHet20 Talking Politics was a treasure, much missed.
@HelenHet20 Something I want to know more about. The old team back too. I'll be listening.
@HelenHet20 Always good to hear you and David in conversation! Reminds me listening to your previous podcast series...
A series on "bad ideas" is genius...

Superb concise historical background to the evolution of gold and silver as monetary bases. @HelenHet20 's encyclopedic knowledge just trips from her, pulling in all sorts of 'wow I didn't know that' historical linkages.
