#011 - Esmé Partridge: Why King Charles Could Improve Social Cohesion In Modern Britain

from Thinking Class · host John Gillam

Esmé Partridge is an MPhil student at the University of Cambridge and writer for publications including UnHerd, The Critic, and First Things. Esmé previously worked for a consultancy at the intersection of religion and politics where she was involved in several projects relating to religious freedom and interfaith relations.Today we talk about the shift in contemporary religion and spirituality with traditional religions versus a menu of options, the importance of elites and their attitudes, King Charles III's philosophical worldview and why it could matter for social cohesion in an ethnically diverse and multi-faith United Kingdom, tradition, order, and freedom, and the impact of AI on creativity, competence and memory. This is a deeply accessible philosophical conversation and while many of us in the modern West don't generally place much importance on monarchy or religion's influence on the public square, Esmé shows why both are much more important than we think.Show notes- Charles will be our Perennialist King - UnHerd- Forgetting the Art of Memory | Esmé Partridge | First Things- Pope Francis offers the most powerful critique of AI yet - The Post (unherd.com)- Esmé L K Partridge (esmelkpartridge.com)

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy. Prophetic Foolishness Osagie & Krys We answer the questions that aren't asked enough! Some things are foolish, and some are prophetic. We hope to engage with the people and inspire deeper thinking about societal norms.
