ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION:
Quite a lot, as it turns out.
It was great to have Rurik back on the podcast. In episode 419 we explored Plato, power, religion, and mythology. In this episode we go deeper, looking at how Platonic ideas have echoed through the centuries, shaping major religions, modern political systems, ideology and geopolitics.
Enjoy folks!
ps After I thought we had finished recording, we unexpectedly spoke for another hour, which became a bonus section.
