Virtue beyond wealth accumulation
Thank you for a really stimulating podcast. Two comments if I may: technical education has not only been underfunded and looked down on, but the qualifications offered are not capable of commanding salaries that allow people to live a secure life: secure, affordable housing, comfortable income to participate in society without fear of shame, and access to whatever leisure feeds the soul, from fishing to the arts. It is about well-being and employers have not paid salaries that enable people to pay for it, while the state has not been willing to fill the gap. I wish you had spent more time discussing virtue, beyond intelligence - of the academic sort. What would society look like if virtue was understood to be a life of contribution to the common good, through family life, work and communities, where the highest form of virtue would be not looking after your own interests but that of others? In our case, I suspect the House of Lords would have a lot more true public servants and fewer political party donors.
