Episode 17: "All the World's a School" feat. Brendan Biryla & Exiled Consensus

On this week’s episode of Coffee with Comrades, Sam joins Pearson once again for a discussion of current events before Pearson hosts an interview with Brendan from EngSciMath and Exiled Consensus.

Current Events:

Mutual Aid relief efforts in the Florida panhandle are ongoing. Panama City landlords are finishing what Hurricane Michael started. Meanwhile, the Oath Keepers got arrested in Mexico Beach, FL while “patrolling” out past curfew. Amazon is still garbage. The Trump administration’s war on our transgender comrades continues. Elizabeth Warren decided it would be a good idea to do a DNA test to “prove” her indigenous ancestry.

Today’s edition of the show focuses on science, technology, engineering, and math majors and the intersections these fields have with radical left politics. Brendan from EngSciMath and Exiled Consensus join Pearson for a discussion of education, the university, and critical inquiry to envision a future divorced of capitalist schemes where emancipated free-thinkers are empowered to work for a world of justice and equality in community with one another.
