Interview: Discovering the Great Books with Johnathan Bi

I really enjoyed comparing notes with Johnathan Bi, whose journey in some ways mirrors my own: whereas I moved from a humanities background into an interest in science, Johnathan started in the science and tech world, then came to appreciate the importance of great literature. Together we discuss the rise of generalism, the promise and perils of the AI age, and what the canon has to teach us in our unusual times. Take a look at Johnathan's website: http://greatbooks.io/ And his new lecture series: https://youtu.be/M0w2eQ-FcEA Check out our sponsor, the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/ I maked this: Paradise Lost, the audiobook: https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com/p/paradise-lost Subscribe to be in the mailbag: https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com Subscribe to my joint substack with Andrew Klavan (no relation): https://thenewjerusalem.substack.com
