Description

George Wang, Lorenzo Sierra, and Raymond Xiao started the young and foolish podcast in 2021 with the aim to inspire people to engage in candid long-form dialogues that deepen their understanding of themselves, others, and the modern world. We believe that critical thinking, open discussions, and interpersonal connections are essential in the process of solving both personal and societal problems. Born in 2000, we are a few young and foolish guys who are trying to make sense of this complicated world. Each week, we discuss relevant and interesting topics on life, society, and philosophy.
