The Romanticism Debate
from Wisdom of Crowds Hosted by Samuel Kimbriel, Santiago Ramos, and Matthew Gasda
This week, we tried an experiment: a Substack live event! Matthew Gasda wrote a popular article about Romanticism, his contribution to an ongoing debate. Samuel Kimbriel had a few disagreements with Gasda’s piece. In the spirit of Wisdom of Crowds, we hosted our first-ever live-streamed Substack debate. It went pretty well! We hope to host more. By popular demand, here is a video recording of that debate.
