In today’s episode, Alexander discusses the concept of ease, the increasing appeal it holds for people, and especially Americans, and the various ways in which falling into a proper misunderstanding of ease and its effects on one’s life can lead to one’s slavery to the tyranny of comfort. Alexander explores these questions in the contexts of the student loan debt forgiveness debate, the medical community's response to COVID-19, the issue of transgenderism, and Homer’s Iliad, among many others.
