    Episode 336: An Ode To Repugnance
    Jan 27 2025
    In this episode we talk about what to do when you come across a repugnant idea. With T.S. Eliot as our guide, we consider what strong visceral reactions to ideas and ideologies might tell us about ourselves. The inspiration for the conversation was a Substack piece Scott published today. You can find it here. (https://scottkentjones.substack.com/p/what-do-you-do-with-repugnant-ideas) We actually discussed the Eliot essay we reference in episode 154 of this podcast, which you can find here.
