The rumors are true! @dieworkwear and I have started a monthly podcast together. We read works of fashion philosophy and talk about what they mean today. We start with a book from 1705 called Fable of the Bees substack.com/home/post/p-207…

"We need not endorse [Bernard] Mandeville’s entire philosophy to recognize that the questions he posed are as pertinent as ever."

Last year @tylercowen mentioned reading @JohnjoCallanan ‘s Man-Devil: The Mind and Times of Bernard Mandeville, the Wickedest Man in Europe, which he described as “a good treatment of an underrated and still under-read Dutch thinker.”

"The Man-Devil title was not entirely unfair — Mandeville was a provocateur, an intellectual prankster. He wanted to be known, he wanted to sell books and he succeeded by popularizing one simple idea that today seems unremarkable." trib.al/cxhXgZD

National Treasure 💚 Fourth at the Olympic Games at just 21-years old. This is just the start. Success on the track is one thing, but Rhasidat, you are a role model for so many people, from all different backgrounds. 🇮🇪 📸 Waterford
