LEANDRO KARNAL | RivoTalks #134

He is one of Brazil's greatest public intellectuals: a historian, philosopher, professor, and writer who has transformed the debate of ideas into a mass phenomenon. In this episode, Leandro Karnal talks about his Jesuit education and the life he almost became a priest, his relationship with his father who taught Latin and French at home, and how chance shaped his academic trajectory. The conversation touches on his views on atheism, religion, and Jesus, on conspiracy theories and the irrational distrust that has taken over Brazil, on polarized politics, on the history of the national flag, and on the price of fame for those who think aloud in a country like this. A dense, fun, and unfiltered conversation with a man who knows even more than he lets on. Press play! ___ Support Rivo!
