Ruthless Cosmopolitan

Ruthless Cosmopolitan

Por: Dr Anthony Richardson
“Gurgeh never ceased to be fascinated by the way a society’s games revealed so much about its ethos, its philosophy, its very soul.”
The Player of Games, Iain M Banks (1988)
This is a podcast about ideas, and games; what we play, what we think, and what it all means. To be cosmopolitan in this time means not just to have an intellectual curiosity about our world,  and where it is going, but to do so in the face of rising parochialism, anti-intellectualism and a profound and proud ignorance. This podcast is a place for both conversations and commentary about our world, our place in it, and the complex interconnected systems which make it all possible.
Oh, and games. Lots of games.
I’m an academic sociologist, university teacher and systems theorist in Aotearoa New Zealand, and also a player of games.
My name is Anthony Richardson, and this is Ruthless Cosmopolitan.
