S1E2: Interview with Socrates

Episode 2: Socrates — The Original Question MachineWhat if your podcast guest is waiting to die, calmly sipping wisdom in an Athenian prison… and still asking you the questions?In Episode 2 of Hey Everybody, Philosophy!, host Jeff D. sits down with Socrates — the man, the myth, the professional irritant — after his death sentence but before the hemlock kicks in.This is not a lecture.It’s an interrogation. (Mostly of us.)Together, Jeff and Socrates explore:Why Socrates never wrote anything down (and why that somehow worked out great for him)The Socratic Method — what it really is, why it still matters, and how it accidentally paved the way for the scientific methodWhy questioning authority got him executed (and why he’d do it again)What it means to live a good life without deleting Netflix or moving to a caveWhether TikTok makes us wiser or worse, if AI can be virtuous, and which is more corrupt: Wall Street or the Athenian AgoraHow to practice philosophy at home — no toga requiredThere are laughs.There are genuine insights.There may even be a philosophical debate about hot dogs.Socrates believed the unexamined life is not worth living — but does that mean we’re all doing it wrong? Or just not asking the right questions?🎙️ Episode 2. One philosopher. Zero answers. Infinite questions.Press play… if you dare to be questioned.
