Liberal souls are people who are genuinely curious and interested in the world, they find vanity boring, and they live to see themselves and others flourish existentially in their finite time on the planet.

I have written a book! It is called The Liberal Soul, and it is available now for purchase. I have included reading an excerpt from the introduction so you can get a taste of it. 20% of all book sales are going to charity.

This episode of The Liberal Soul is all about video games. I am joined by my two longtime friends Justin and Matt to list our top five favourite video games. We also chat along the way about why we love video games, what our earliest memories of them are, what they have done for our lives, and much more. Thanks for listening to the show!

In this episode I discuss parts of the book The Conservative Sensibility by the American writer George Will. I wanted to branch out a little and read a book that is infused with Conservative philosophy to chew on. I especially was interested in Conservative philosophy that has no time for the modern manifestation of the alt right and QANON thinking; as well as a philosophy that self identifies as not needing theism. George Will manages to eschew both of those liabilities. In the book I talk about:

- The universality of human nature

- Natural Rights at the heart of the American founding - and the political philosophical backdrop to American life today is whether governments job is to secure rights for its citizens (Conservatism) or grant rights to its citizens (Progressivism)

- Natural Rights as a heuristic

- The three liberalisms in American political history

- Ignorance as an inevitable element is mass centralization

- Ingratitude as a function of intellectuals and bureaucrats

- Conservatism without Theism

- Living a flourishing life
