ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Ryan Proctor joins Artie for a thought-provoking exploration of wonder, meaning, and the state of modern education. Together, they unpack how curiosity is being stifled by institutional structures, why our society struggles to inspire learning, and what happens when we lose a sense of something greater than ourselves.
From communism and billionaires to God, parenting, and the myth of the 40-hour workweek, this conversation weaves through the philosophical, the personal, and the political — all grounded in the search for a more thoughtful life.
If you’ve ever felt like modern life is missing something deeper, this episode is for you.
