I speak with Dr. James Kierstead, a Research Fellow with the New Zealand Initiative focussing on higher education policy, including academic freedom. James co-hosts Free Kiwis!, a podcast dedicated to free speech in New Zealand, and also has a background in classical studies, in particular democracy in Ancient Greece. We talk about the declining state of New Zealand universities and the impact this has on graduates bringing their ideologies into the public sector. We also dive into the importance of language learning and, the economies of ancient Greece city states,  and what we can learn from the past. ⁠⁠🎉 Use discount code TTOV to get 10% off your BTC Prague tickets!⁠⁠ ⁠https://btcprague.com/?promo_id=19708&key=8847c7d6a512fc3cbdb9abf3d64045d9⁠ ‍--- Connect with The Transformation of Value X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/TTOVpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Nostr at: npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu Or send an email to [email protected] and I will get back to you! --- Support The Transformation of Value: Bitcoin tip address: bc1qlfcr2v73tntt6wvyp2yu064egvyeery6xtwy8t Lightning tip address: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you send a tip please email or DM me so I can thank you! --- Links: James Kierstead YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Cleisthenes2⁠ James Kierstead X - https://x.com/Kleisthenes2 The New Zealand Initiative - https://www.nzinitiative.org.nz/ Free Kiwis!
