ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: Mathew Crawford is an applied mathematician, educator, author, and entrepreneur with a unique background spanning from Wall Street to education reform. Since 2021, he has authored the Rounding the Earth Substack, where he analyses complex issues such as data around the "pandemic," explores alternative approaches to education, and unpacks historical events—all to empower people with knowledge and protect individual freedoms. His work challenges mainstream narratives, advocating for independent thought and a proactive approach to safeguarding liberty in a world increasingly influenced by centralised control. In this podcast, Mathew shares how his unique background, including growing up in a cult, shaped his passion for self-directed learning and reforming education to be more community-focused and enjoyable. He critiques powerful entities' centralisation of educational control and urges parents to support their children’s intellectual freedom and curiosity actively.
