In his latest podcast Brent ponders freedom and the different forms our own personal freedom takes throughout our lives. Using his experiences of growing up at the height of the troubles on the border in Northern Ireland and his academic background in Humanities he will explore the difference between the lack of physical freedom he had but discuss reflect on the freedom of the mind which he will argue is infinitely more important to us all. The Freedom of the mind Brent will warn us that is being manipulated and under attack from media and those who have always sought to influence us.
Brent will discuss current affairs issues in a progressive stance on Globalisation, Trumpism, Brexit, BLM and speculate as to how actually free we are now in a world of high technology. An eclectic range of literature as “The Beach” by Alex Garland to the Political philosophy of JS Mill’s “On Liberty” will be cited by Brent as inspirations for his views on freedom.
