Episode Description

In this episode of The Modern Enlightenment Podcast, the Knecht brothers discuss the high-level problem(s) facing humanity, possible solutions, and the meaning of "modern enlightenment". This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, as a deeper dive into these core issues will follow in subsequent episodes. The main gist is that if we as a species don't improve the quality of our characters, the future of life on this planet is very bleak.... but we feel it is very doable!
