Education for grown ups: Philosophy, fact / value dichotomy, from deduction and induction of science, engaging in economist and policy is the moral obligation towards justice as well as protecting the principles of Democracy. Philosophy truly educates us, thank you very much Hilary Putnam.

He writes so beautifully too, but I really need to put the video on 1.25x speed to not lose the thread by the end of each sentence 😅
