"There's nothing more toxically political than the statement 'politics doesn't matter '." Thanks, guys, for verbalising what I've been trying to communicate so unsuccessfully to those around me for decades. Art does matter. We mustn't leave a vacuum for the right to fill. We can all do something to help.

What a pleasant surprise to find two of my favorite people, gathered together for a talk. Thank you, Brian and Yanis.

"The one lasting, remaining American value: buying shit!" - George Carlin. It applies to Europe too.

Art should be a basis for civilization not an extra. It makes meaning for a human existence, and we need meaning more than ever in our profound overshoot.

Yanis is so right. The only way I know of the Spanish Civil War is from the Picasso depiction. For me my whole understanding of the event is from his interpretation.

It's a pleasure to hear from Brian on these issues. Thanks, Yanis.

Eno is a legend. Can't wait to listen to this one.

A heartfelt thank you to Raoul for this so important podcast. In these bleak times (thoughts of the people in Gaza) we need to be reminded of what our soul is crying out for - namely people that give us hope and inspire us to go out there and do something the world needs (thank you, Brian!). Yanis, yes we need you to speak!

Brian Eno is one of the greatest musicians in the world, one of my icons who marked my youth and more... Thank you Brian Eno for your courage... 💕💕❤❤

I love Yanis' great respect for the transcedence and for the transformative value of art.

I love when Yanis and Brian do these discussions.

As a French speaking person, I very much appreciate the mixing, in one conversation, of not only art & politics but also of spirituality & politics. In the French culture, things a much more separated. It's usually totally different people who would talk about those different dimensions of existence. Pitty! Thank you so much for the depth of this talk in particular and for the depth of the whole series really ♥♥♥

Two brilliant thinkers.

What a wonderful conversation. There was so much i related to. I've spent my life in the arts, as well as working on where and how that crosses into political movement - i think the arts have always been central to social discourse and therefor, politics - I have found one informs the other in a circular motion and this is where humankind can be so powerful, especially that point where surrender occurs, the ego gets out of the way and that wave gets ridden! I also had a radio show for a while called, 'The Arts and Politics" because, to me they are both practices that shape our lives and are capable of enhancing each other. Thanks again, i look forward to hearing more, Bryony, Australia.

An Artist must look for light in his heart, in his emotions, in his suffering to extract possibly a breath of creation..

As a writer, artist, poet, philospher, inventor and tutor, I recently wrote a short story called School 2094. The 6 core subjects would be 1. Creativity & Invention 2. Appreciating the Earth 3. Ethics 4. Family 5. Languages and 6. Survival. Education is one of the biggest failures of the dark age we are going through.

Don’t give up, because we need you!!!

Totally agree with Varoufakis on the need to separate Natural Sciences and Social Sciences.

Yanis: Don't give up because we need you to speak. Raoul: Don't give up beacuse we need you to speak. Brian: Don't give up beacuse we need you to speak.
