Chris Arnade - A Student of Life at the Bottom

The early release of my conversation with traveling photographer and folk anthropologist extraordinaire, Chris Arnade.

We speak about being a class traitor, the journey between these two worlds, the concept of dignity, the tension between personal responsibility and paternalism, the patterns of addiction and sexual abuse in people living on the street, justified and unjustified fears when it comes to dealing with people at the end of their tether, the problem of nonjudgmentalism, helping and not helping, and much more.

Chris Arnade went from Wall Street to street photography and wrote an excellent book called Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America. He is also the owner/operator of a great Substack.

Subversive is a podcast by Alex Kaschuta about ideas that may not fit neatly into the Overton window and could use a nudge, or a sledgehammer. Alex chats to thinkers across the spectrum from iconoclast philosophers, rogue scientists, *real* journalists, and our true intellectual elite, Twitter anons.
