The Hopeful Humanist Cafe

Welcome to this Hegelian synthesis of Blithering Thoughts at the Hopeful Humanist Cafe, a post-post modern, surrealist, phenomenological, first person, empirical exploration of ideas in flow, the good life, T-shirt notions, etcetera moments and resources for your spiritual toolbox. #okaythen. In this episode, I invite listeners to think about what competencies or meta skills we need to equip our children with to prepare for the 21 century.
