The Non-Philosophy Podcast
By Dr Non
Categories: Society & Culture, Philosophy, Education
What would a philosopher do at your desk on Monday? The Non-Philosophy Podcast takes one big idea and follows it until it changes a real decision at work, in a city or in your life. Dr Non Arkaraprasertkul, MIT-trained urbanist and smart-city practitioner in Bangkok, reads philosophers seriously across space, time, language and belief. No affirmations, no five-step frameworks. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 10+ minutes. Narrated in Dr Non's AI-cloned voice. The argument is his.
