Mr Hanson is a asset to our society. Great interview of a honorable professor, his contribution and insight is phenomenal. Wish more people would listen and learn..
Most people want to be entertained rather than educated, they get their worldview from CNN and MSNBC then go look for the next thrill. Sheer hedonism, just what VDH teaches about contemporary society.

I have listened to many interviews with Victor Davis Hanson. This one is unique for me. It contains an exposition by Dr. Hanson of his philosophy on education. It is outstanding! He believes that the classics can provide a great fundamental basis of education. He also believes that every student should learn practical, manual things such as farm chores. I highly recommend this to everyone.
VDH reminds me of my father; a highly educated Ph.D of Mechanical & Chemical Engineering, with a very well rounded knowledge of world history, geography, philosophy, & other subjects, but could proficiently operate machine tools (lathes, milling machines, etc.) & could practically weld. He was also very well read, could fly small airplanes, & was capable & talented auto mechanic. He performed research & development on rockets, early jet engines, land locomotion designs & other projects, while pursuing his Ph.D., in the 1950's. He was given tenure when he accepted the Professorship from the university where he taught for approx. 30 years. He often created novel, "out of the box" solutions to various design challenges, & was involved in accident recreation, & called to be an expert witness in court on many occasions. He grew up on a family farm that had small engine powered generators for electricity Quite the "Renaissance Man".
Very nice interview. The classical world saw a three fold order. First, and paramount, the spiritual realm (comprising all values), next the political, and last the economic. Money, important - but last.
Yes. The Hindus called these the Varnaas. There was fluid movement between these varnaas(groups) and it was not just birth based.The colonizers came and called it inequality- they labeled it ‘caste’ system because the first step to destroying something is giving it an offensive label.
“We have lost touch with the Classical Greek concept of eironeia. Things are not quite as you think they are. ... And the unexpected should be expected ... We’re not open to irony and paradox, but we’re open to cynicism and sarcasm.” This is a man worth hearing. When it comes to the classical age of Greece and Rome the contributions of Marcus Aurelius and Pericles and all the other good people must be viewed in light of the imperialism of the age and of its dependence on slavery and genocide. There is a lot there, for sure, and Professor Hanson is sure to help us discover it. His rhetorical advise to Donald J. Trump is on point and not to be missed.
Trump was his own worst enemy, I think he was cheated out of the 2020 POTUS but T had a bad habit of going to bed with more enemies than he woke up with.
A paradox among many throughout history; why is it that the further a culture advances above and away from its agrarian roots, the less wise it becomes, the more nihilistic it becomes. We all need to get our hands in the soil and learn some agriculture.
If the President was serious about "restoring" America, or making it "Great Again". Then Larry Arnn would be Sec of Edu. If we must have a department of Education at all. Taking this country back or losing it forever, starts in kindergarten.
52:45 Typical Western ignorance of/disdain for the great Orthodox Christian writers of the first millennium -- St. Athanasius, St. Basil the Great, St. Cyril of Alexandria, St. John Damascene, St. Maximos the Confessor, to name just a few. Nope. For this typical Western rube, there's Augustine and Aquinas and that's it. The non-Latin world doesn't matter. So tedious. At least VDH in his answer acknowledges "a lot of the Byzantine writers."

@@greymanBB I agree. We see, in fact, deliberate chaos promoted by western elites, as a direct method of control.
I learn so much from him.
Awesome - please keep them coming!
Thanks for uploading this
Great interview, thanks.

Once we imbibed from the the tree of knowledge (of good and evil) humanity made its bed....we could choose no other path.

The best public school system I've seen is the Finnish PSS. 8 yrs to become a teacher high pay too.
Our Western version of Zen is the Stoic. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a Stoic.
This should be good.
