SHOW #156 Sophie Scott-Brown

Could we survive without a world of ‘State Trade secrets’ ‘classified documents’ and ‘defending the National Interest’? And could we survive with no Pharo’s, Kings and Queens, Ceaser’s, Presidents, Pope’s, Ceo’s and alike?
Instead placing our time and energy in ways that positively contribute to the culture and society at large, as well as improving our own one to one interactions in our personal lives. All the whilst honouring individual pursuit to foster the conditions that create value in happiness. To question if we really want to continue to chase after that dangling carrot presented in front of us. Why not set our own agendas instead of getting lost in false status based hiearchy?

Joining me is guest Sophie Scott-Brown. Sophie is a modern intellectual historian and philosopher specialising in direct democracy. Her research interests is in modern European political thought, Anarchism, and the history of education. Her historical work on left-wing politics, especially the post-war British left, has earned her widespread recognition.
