In this enlightening discussion, philosopher Joe Schmid tackles the differences between academic and public philosophy. He argues that anyone engaged in philosophical thought can be considered a philosopher, challenging traditional notions of authority.

He advocates for a synthesis of both approaches to make philosophical ideas more accessible, touching on contemporary issues like the simulation hypothesis and NFTs.
