Charting the careers of successful public intellectuals

Start time where you are: Your time zone couldn't be detected
In his latest Interintellect Salon, Visakan Veerasamy will lead an exploration of successful creatives and intellectuals throughout history.
Let’s focus particularly on people who achieved success during their lifetimes.
How did intellectuals achieve positions of power, influence, status?
What were the stepping stones along the way?
In this Salon, let’s ask and explore:
How do great artists…
Can we deliberately recreate such conditions for ourselves, and/or our successors? How?
What are the constraints that keep us from achieving an unprecedented age of enlightenment?
Are there any errors in the existing analysis of how these Golden Ages came to be?
How can we get more people interested in these questions?
Our best work as a species is surely not behind us. – Salon host Visakan Veerasamy
