사유의 용기| Thinking in an Age of Distrust: On Anti-Intellectualism and Other Stories — The One with Mr. Gbane Okolo | Episode 36 (2025)

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of deep thinking and curiosity in a society that often dismisses nuance and expertise.

In my conversation with Mr. Gbane Okolo, we talk about what it’s like to think deeply in a world that often feels impatient with nuance, how curiosity can start to feel risky, how expertise can be misunderstood. How simply asking careful questions can come with social and emotional costs. Gbane reflects on anti-intellectualism not as a buzzword, but as something people quietly bump into every day.
