Conversations with Peter Boghossian

Her job is to protect Parliament. She just won an award for service. And in the photo: Finger on the trigger, muzzle pointed at a fellow officer. "It wasn't loaded." Rule #1 of gun safety: Treat every gun as if it is. Thousands noticed. The Met didn't order remedial training. It said the criticism was because she's Muslim. What would you trust this police force with? Policing? Gun safety? Evidence...

Did you know there's such a thing as "queer anthropology"? Anthropologist Elizabeth Weiss says it's a sign of a much bigger problem. When a field abandons logic, falsifiability, and consistency, it stops being science and starts being ideology. Falsehoods get presented as truth, real problems go unsolved, and the past gets molded to fit the narrative instead of discovered. Peter Boghossian and Eli...

Professor Elizabeth Rata (University of Auckland) joins Peter to explain how invented history has become a key strategy of the new indigenist movement, and what it means for schools, science, and democratic citizenship.

"We're going to graduate students who aren't faking it." AI can now write the essay, pass the exam, and fake the thinking. So what happens to education? Are universities making sure students can think for themselves, or are they producing graduates who outsource their minds to AI? Peter Boghossian sits down with Loren Rotner , associate provost at the University of Austin (UATX), to dig into it. W...

Why is Gen Z killing themselves? Is therapy culture making it worse? Peter Boghossian sits down with author Pierre Valentin to examine how mental illness became part of identity. "It's okay not to be okay" started as a message of comfort. Has it instead turned the abnormal into the normal? Should every struggle be voiced publicly, or are some things better worked through privately? Have we outsour...

Is Canada broken? Mira Metter spent the last few years trying to answer that question, and the result is her new documentary, Broken Country. Join Peter Boghossian live with Mira and Mike Werry to dig into it. What's actually going on in Canada, how did it get here, and is there a way back? Peter also wants to know what Mira found that surprised her, and how she knows what she thinks she knows. Wa...

Has the West lost sight of morality? And is that why it struggles to confront the spread of Islam? In this conversation, the roles are reversed. Raymond Ibrahim asks the questions, and Peter Boghossian answers. It starts with epistemology: What is it about how people in the West decide what's true that has left them unable, or unwilling, to confront Islam's spread? Where does the Western moral com...

Is mass migration working for France, Britain, Austria, or anywhere in the West? Peter Boghossian sits down with the father of remigration, the hyper controversial Austrian "far right"  Martin Sellner . Peter interrogates Sellner's proposed answer to mass immigration and Islam in Europe: Remigration. Peter presses Sellner throughout their conversation: Who decides who gets deported? What about cit...

This one's personal.   Three years after October 7, Jew-hatred is nastier and more aggressive, yet most people turn a blind eye. Dave Silverman joins Peter Boghossian and UNLEASHES: Islam's rise. Jew-hatred. The Democratic Party. He calls the press a propaganda machine. Dave thinks they are the enemies of civil society.   Is he correct? Why are so few people willing to say it? Why won't those who...

Why are we surgically removing healthy breasts, testes, and reproductive organs from minors and calling it "gender-affirming care"? The explanation you'll hear is a new, "radical" take. Peter Boghossian sits down with Mia Hughes , @Genspect, to discuss her Repath Campaign, which argues (among other things) that gender dysphoria functions as a belief-based disorder rather than a clinical diagnosis....

Dr. Debra Soh says sex positivity killed desire, not freedom. Peter Boghossian pushes back.

Peter Boghossian and former New Zealand National Party MP Simon O'Connor expose how naive democracies choose comfortable blindness over imminent CCP threats. By bartering core values (liberties, freedoms) for Chinese trade (cheap goodies), the West invites cultural collapse. Ignorance currently costs nothing, but deep apathy erodes our security.
