Ep. 12 – Michael Shinkar | Christianity Conversion, Ashkenazi Heritage, Escaping Nihilism, Swearing, AI
Michael Shinkar is a rising junior at Washington and Lee University, pursuing a major in Economics while also hoping to minor in Classics and Philosophy. He was born and raised in Bergen County, New Jersey, and comes from a background of Ashkenazi Jewish and Northeastern European ancestry. Despite being raised without a predominate religion in his household, Michael became a devout Anglican Christian. He has a deep interest in theology and history outside of school, which has led him to explore various aspects of these subjects. Apart from his academic pursuits, Michael is an avid hiker and swimmer who enjoys spending time outdoors. He also has a strong affinity for J.R.R. Tolkien's works and anything related to Old English. On this episode, Michael and I sit down and dive into his unique family heritage, his discovery of Christianity in high school, and the vast effects of Chat-GPT on jobs in the years to come.
