Description

 

I, Samuel Urban, the Illegitimate Scholar talk to Rogue Philosopher, an American who emigrated from  New Jersey to Central Asia. The discussions center around his experiences of the distinct nomadic traditions, local business dynamics, religious beliefs, and unique practices like bride kidnapping, and the outlook on life in Kyrgyzstan. Rogue Philosopher teaches Philosophy there and wants to get closer to Traditional Life that he sees as gone in the United States. We talk about Marriage Practies, dating, the genetics and culture of the people there and their nomadic history. We talk about the viability of being a Passport Bro in Central Asia, specifically Kyrgyzstan
