A War Against Truth with Maajid Nawaz (WiM329)
The "What is Money?" Show
The Importance of Tradition in Life
"I've been through a torture dungeon and sat this close with President Bush," he says. "Let's not pretend we can reinvent the wheel, there is millennia of human beings who've decided that the state isn't God." The sum of how smart we are isn't smarter than the sum of all existence - it means tradition has value,. He adds: "As we hurtle through this illusion ... every soul should taste death"
Maajid Nawaz joins me to discuss his journey from radicalization to reformation, the importance of practical knowledge, religion and mentors, the game of illusion by the state, and why we need decentralization more than ever.
Maajid Nawaz is a British anti-extremist, political commentator, activist, and podcast host.
