Amit Varma is exactly who he criticizes. Intellectually gifted but lacks self awareness
This is truly one of a kind of podcast from India. Amit is a really smart guy and I have definitely learned a lot from him. He brought a lot of intellectual nuance to his arguments. But as the Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns goes, the podcast became more and more of a circle joke, something Mr. Varma often attributes to Academia. He often criticized people for having only one worldview and force-fitting everything into it. And then he forces his market-fundamentalist values onto every topic. It became something of a joke that all the fancy new topics on discussion among American Right are also the points that Mr. Varma references. He takes their grievances and supplants them into the Indian context. Luxury Beliefs are what he actually espouses. I want to ask Amit what has happened to America that went down the Friedman-Hayek road of market worship. The show works when the guests talk. It gets repetitive and annoying when Varma interjects and juxtaposes his opinions onto his guests.

More reviews of The Seen and the Unseen
I found the show very interesting and informative. It is not an easy task to glue a listener for almost four hours. Greatly appreciated!
