Dangerous Speech

Society EN ↓ 181 episodes

I'm trying to discuss hot button topics in a reasonable manner. I'm also trying to figure out first principles and how we come by them and decide which are best. I'm speaking with academics, authors, journalists and activists in hopes of trying to find answers.
