glad to hear michael as outspoken in his critique of wokeness as, frankly, anyone who truly loves the humanities ought to be at this point in time.

[viperdawgg]

Dr. Sugrue is the greatest lecturer of the 20th century.

[quantumfizzics]

I am grateful, really grateful for these conversations. I love it. It gives me life.

[PKAnon]

This conversation was a medicine for the soul.

[RealProfessionalHumanBeing]

Michael you are nothing short of a National Treasure. Thank you for continuing these engagements.

Amazing! This channel is my fav on YouTube. Dr. Sugrue's lectures are a poem. Please do a longer podcast if you can (2 3 hours). Greetings from Romania! ❤️

Fantastic beer horn. Laughed at the eyeroll at spiritual, not religious.

I'm a student in political science somewhere in the murky waters of 3rd or 4th year, if all of my education up to recently was laying copper wire, your work has electrified it. In one of the videos on Plato's republic you noted that there are sudden landslides of understanding, and I think thats what your work has done.

Really enjoying the unplugged series too! I've never seen my intuitions about the world reflected in other people like you guys.

I agree with Dr Pete, Meritocracy is gone, out the window. He also nailed it when explaining why many of us subscribe and lean on this channel.

[stormbreak]

I've only recently found you guys, but since then you've both quickly become some of my absolute favorite speakers/teachers- just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate your work

The world needs this convo streamed on the 6 O’clock news

[lronSky]

Yes!!!! Got worried when we didn't see yall for a few weeks.

[Post-Yap_Clarity]

I was worried there wasn’t a post in some weeks, glad to see not only no weight loss but a pint in his hands.

[acmarcan]

So good I watched it twice. An eloquent and beautiful group therapy session of three brilliant old guys lamenting how things just aren’t the way they used to be. More please.

I also have a glass drinking horn, and always fill it when a new episode of unplugged is uploaded.

[BruceCrane-diet]

my wife was very happy to hear from me that episode seven finally dropped. I was getting grumpy and nervous and worried for Prof. Sugrue these long four weeks...

[gfepsh]

Wow i love this discussion, great to hear real intellectuals speak on the strange culture of our times

[mistry]

I check this channel daily for new uploads. Finally, a new episode!

[ponderosadelasierra]

What a jewel of conversation. Muchas gracias

[jimlarsen]

This is great to see. I've been waiting for a new release.

[brucekern]

I wish I could say something that would stand out but clearly I can't. You guys are just the best. We would have lost such an intellectual gold mine had you guys decided not to get into the YouTube world. Thank you so much just for being you. I'll never forget the first lecture I saw by Dr. Sugrue, namely, that on Marcus Aurelius and the Stoic Ideal. I've been hooked ever since I saw that first lecture, probably Dr. Sugrue at his finest!
