Introduction To Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the recording of a lecture I recently did along with The Theory Club by St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. You can see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKok6W5ULnc&amp=&feature=youtu.be. You can follow The Theory Club on Instagram here:https://www.instagram.com/thetheoryclub/. This was a part of their Dummies Guide series. This introduction was targeted at those who are new to the works of Nietzsche and I apologize to the scholars already by pointing out that this lecture simplifies his works quite a lot, mainly because the purpose was to give a general idea of the man and his works. Enjoy this one (I'd recommend increasing the playback speed).

Academia and Competency
Hello and Welcome to The Social Heckler Podcast. This is the first episode, where I describe the distinction between the land of academia and competency. This podcast follows a dialectical way of thinking, where I present my arguments, then present a counterargument and try to look for a synthesis.
