Coming up in a few hours on #HoPWaG: Karyn and I speak to Bryan Van Norden, one of the most prominent and eloquent interpreters of Chinese philosophy!
We ask him, among other things, how should we convince skeptics to make the effort to investigate non-European philosophical traditions?
To celebrate reaching fifty episodes in this series, Karyn Lai and Peter Adamson of the @histphilosophy.bsky.social podcast chat with a leading scholar of Chinese philosophy, Bryan W. Van Norden about Confucianism, Mohism, and Daoism.

Andrew's service in the Royal Navy during the Falklands War was actually creditable, though not more so than that of many others, and he was probably at the peak of his career when he returned. (pp. 52-55)
Andrew went to Gordonstoun boarding school, like his father and his brother Charles. A classmate described him as "a pompous git," and he was beaten up so badly by his classmates that he had to go to the infirmary. (p. 32)
Sarah Ferguson's mother had an affair with Prince Philip (Sarah's future father-in-law), and later left Sarah's father for an Argentinian polo player. Sarah's elder sister ran off with an Australian rancher at the age of 16. (pp. 27-29)
Someone who knew Andrew as a child said he wad already "a tiresome little shit," who regularly reminded everyone that he was a prince. (p.23)

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
