Anti-Intellectualism, Trump and Andrew Tate with Romantha Botha and Kaira Ahmed

Su questo episodio

<p>Andrew Tate is trending again, but the bigger story isn't him, it's what made him possible. In this episode we break down anti-intellectualism: why comprehension is collapsing, why people trust vibes over evidence, and who actually benefits from keeping populations uncritical. We go back to Hofstadter's three strands of anti-intellectualism, cover South Africa's Bantu education system as intellectualism weaponised as policy, unpack the difference between academia and intellect, and ask whether you can be an intellectual without empathy.</p><p>The Marvyn Harrison Podcast: culture, identity and fatherhood, hosted by the founder of Dope Black Dads.</p><br><p>Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarvynHarrison</p><p>Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-marvyn-harrison-podcast/id1456522027</p><p>Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3cIh6ejnk3lUUVhqSKzPUS</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marvynharrisonpodcast</p><p>Partnerships and sponsorship: marvyn@belovd.agency</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
