Kenny Knowlton
Kenny Knowlton grew up training horses on a ranch in Brazil and started asking hard questions long before he ever stepped into a philosophy classroom. His thinking traces how power hides in everyday life, work, and the assumptions we’re taught not to question.
Jane Hill
Jane has spent a lifetime organizing knowledge and guiding conversations. What keeps her coming back to Philosofarian is learning how thinking changes when no one is in charge and people stay with one another’s questions.
Ciera Morris
Ciera came to Scoundrels through an unlikely doorway — chemistry tutoring that turned into conversation. What she found was a place where curiosity is shared across generations, and where people return to think things through together.
Kaarina Beam
Kaarina Beam brings a lifetime of thinking about truth, responsibility, and communal life — shaped in part by her time studying Bhutanese cultural philosophy and by nearly twenty years of teaching and inquiry alongside Seth. Together, they explore how thinking becomes a shared practice and what public philosophy can do for a community.
Nicole Page
Nicole is a welder and single mom who walked into Scoundrels without knowing what she’d find. She discovered a room where disagreement could be thoughtful and interesting, and where her own thinking fit alongside everyone else’s. She brings that way of seeing into her work and life.
Loren Cross
Loren grew up thinking philosophy belonged to other people. At Blue Scorcher Bakery, she stepped into a conversation that changed that. Her way of thinking found a home — and now she meets with us one-on-one while she waits for a future space where she can hear group conversations again.
Alec Chapa
Alec came looking for deeper thinking, found it in Astoria, and now uses those habits in the mediation work he does back home in San Antonio.
