Unpopular Opinions with Connor Hansen

Society EN ↓ 30 episodes

People are broken. We don't understand each other; we often can't even tolerate each other. I believe the value of free speech is found where it is used to foster understanding.

Hopefully, you and I both will be able to open our minds and appreciate the value of diversity of thought as we seek to understand my guests.
