ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we journey into the intricate connections between the past and present, tracing the threads from the Enlightenment movement to the cultural phenomena of today. We explore how Enlightenment ideals of reason, individuality, and freedom continue to influence our world, taking from a theory that we have recently learned from the internet.
If you like unpacking and hearing lots of Taylor (Tay-lore, if you will), this episode is the one for you.
