The Curious Introvert Ep. 227 | Is Being Ordinary Noble?
The message given at every commencement speech is, “Go into the world & make an impact!” This makes anyone who gone on to lead an ordinary life to feel like an extraordinary disappointment.
Dr. Brandon Warmke is an Associate Professor & philosopher at Bowling Green University who believes that living a quiet life is not an underachieving consolation prize.
In this episode, he shares the dangers of moralizing, are Christian missionaries performing helpful service or performing pathological altruism, filters over formulas, the case for solitude, voting vs volunteering and bad versions of curiosity.
