Dead philosophers. Fresh takes.
Ever wonder what it would be to listen to
Karl Marx read Elon Musk’s Tweets?
Adam Smith walk into a Walmart?
John Locke debate the vaccine mandate?
Ever wonder... WWKMD?
WWKMD? is a carefully curated marriage of academia and AI. Under the guidance of its Ph.D. holding editor, each WWKMD? podcast thread is generated, edited, and perfected using AI to present the thoughts of philosophers, politicians, economists, and other notable figures from eras past, using them to give important on current events of all types. ​
Benefits
​​There may be some wit and some sarcasm floating around. Some episodes might be lighter than others. Generally, however, WWKMD? is designed to be educational in nature.
Each short episode offers the listener an excellent way to immerse her/himself in history, economics, and philosophy, while also learning about some of history's most famous (and infamous) influencers:
​Broaden your political and economic, and philosophical mind
​Bring historical context and complexity to current events
​Develop a better understanding of diverse and contradictory opinions​
​
Structure
Episodes are generally added to larger threads. Each individual podcast thread deals with a unique economic or political topic. Each thread will then contain the perspectives of different historic personalities.
​
Each thread contains authors that complement the thoughts of another; they may also differ significantly, or even directly oppose each other.
​
Each podcast includes only a brief history of the current event or topic in discussion. Each podcast will also contain brief
backgrounds into the authors.​​
Disclaimers​
​
This content is for educational purposes, based on the published works of each individual author. The material is generated and curated using an AI assist.
It is not real.
None of the threads in any way reflect the personal views of the editors.
​
(Despite its name) WWKMD? does not advance any specific economic or political ideology. It is not just a podcast on Marxism, socialism, radicalism, etc. In fact, many voices in WWKMD? would probably hate Karl Marx. Episodes are designed to present all points along a reasonable political and economic spectrum, which is done to bring a variety of perspectives to each thread.
​
Historic authors might be figures we would now consider to be "problematic": politically incendiary, economically radical, classist, misogynistic, racist, etc. Think Karl Marx himself, or
John C. Calhoun, Henry Cabot Lodge, or Theodore Roosevelt. WWKMD? still projects their insights, albeit with the understanding that they are the product of their times.
​
While WWKMD? describes opposing, antagonistic, and even sometime-insulting views, it will never feature modern hateful or conspiracy-theorist voices. Neither will it feature
authors who have little insight or academic value outside of the atrocities for which they are famous. In other words, you will not be hearing much about Adolf Hitler's views on anything.
