Should Miss Universe Be Open to Trans Women?
Two friends in San Juan, Puerto Rico landed on opposite ends of the spectrum in this conversation about the limits of self-identification. When Peter Boghossian presents the claim, "Miss Universe should be open to trans women,” the two agree that people can identify as whatever gender they choose, but disagreement arises about limits on gender guidelines for women’s competition.
One participant says that men can learn to be women. She expresses a different view when Peter asks if a person can identify as another race, saying “you are what you are” regarding racial identity.
The other participant emphasizes the difference between trans women and “natural-born women.” For both race and gender, she says people “see what they see” and should not be asked to confirm the self-identity of others.

Unholy Union: Atheists & Christians | Peter Boghossian & David Silverman
Author and activist David Silverman is one of the best-known atheists in the United States. He has been a leading voice in the atheism movement for decades, previously serving as President for American Atheists and Executive Director for Atheist Alliance International. He broke ranks with these organizations when they were captured by the “religion of wokeism.”
David is now the advisory board chair for Atheists for Liberty, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization promoting secularism, free speech, and enlightenment values. He is the author of "Fighting God: An Atheist Manifesto for a Religious World." He recently published an article in Reality’s Last Stand expressing his concerns about atheists aligning with Christians in the fight against woke ideology.

Can Men Be LESBIANS?
Peter Boghossian discussed the claim “men can be lesbians” with four women and one man in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In this frustrating conversation, the confusion surrounding terms like “sex” and “gender” is on full display as the group tries to define “lesbian,” “man,” and “woman.”
Participants consider natal and surgically-produced reproductive organs, masculine and feminine characteristics, and personal attraction to transgender individuals. Diverse viewpoints are presented, but all participants agree that people can identify however they’d like. As one participant put it, “all that actually matters is that you can feel good.”

The High Cost of Luxury Beliefs | Peter Boghossian & Rob Henderson
Special thanks to Birch Gold Group for sponsoring today's episode. Text "PETER" to 989898 for your FREE info kit on gold.
Writer Rob Henderson coined the term “luxury beliefs,” an apt description of empty slogans that signal high status among the elite. Proclaiming “Defund the police!” may confer status on students at Columbia, but do they understand the cost such a policy would inflict on the poor? (Spoiler Alert: No.)
Rob attended Yale, earned his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Cambridge, and served in the Air Force. His research interests include social cognition, prosocial behavior, and moral development and reasoning. He is a writer for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Quillette, and Substack and a Founding Faculty Fellow at the University of Austin, Texas.
Rob’s memoir will be released in February 2024, titled “Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class.” It is available for preorder: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1982168536

Should EVERY pronoun be accommodated?
In San Juan, Puerto Rico, Peter Boghossian asked three men to consider the claim, “Preferred pronouns should always be respected.” The participants discussed grammar rules, language clarity, compelled speech, and the difference between belief and respect.
Potential limits to pronoun accommodation were considered, including the use of genderless “neopronouns.” One man suggested extracting words for new pronouns from Native American languages (with permission, of course, to avoid appropriation). All participants agree that pronouns should be determined by individual subjective feelings rather than objective standards.

The Wrong Kind of Black Person | Peter Boghossian & Tabia Lee
Dr. Tabia Lee is a longtime educator, pedagogist, and a founding member of Free Black Thought. In 2021, Tabia was hired at DeAnza College in California as the Faculty Director for the Office of Equity, Social Justice, and Multicultural Education. Tabia attempted to reform the toxic campus atmosphere characterized by many faculty and staff members as “too woke.”
DEI colleagues at DeAnza rejected Tabia’s efforts to promote a “pro-human” approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Tabia, a black woman, was called a white supremacist, a racist, and a right-wing operative, among other accusations.
In June this year, Tabia was fired. She is suing DeAnza College for violating her academic freedom and free speech rights.

How Progressive Narratives Hurt Black Americans | Peter Boghossian & Glenn Loury
Special thanks to Birch Gold Group for sponsoring today's episode. Text "PETER" to 989898 for your FREE info kit on gold.
Glenn Loury, one of the leading public intellectuals in the Anglosphere, is known for his astute observations and forthright delivery. He does not disappoint in this conversation with Peter Boghossian during the University of Austin’s Forbidden Courses program.
Glenn and Peter discuss pressing social, racial, and economic topics of our era, including affirmative action, student debt relief, and criminal justice reform. Glenn explains his distrust of public policy to remedy social ills that should be managed through individual responsibility. He discusses disempowering narratives promoted by progressives and shudders at the “infantile, unserious arguments” of Ibram X. Kendi.
Glenn also talks about how he derives meaning in life and his religious ambivalence. He shares his deep love for his wife in spite of political differences between them. When Peter asks Glenn about his hopes for his grandchildren, Glenn shares words of wisdom that reveal his deepest values. He also describes his favorite recent books: "A Certain Ambiguity" by Guarav Suri and "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth" by Reza Aslan.
Author, economist, and social critic Glenn Loury is the Merton P. Stoltz Professor of the Social Sciences and Professor of Economics at Brown University. He is the recipient of many honors, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Carnegie Scholarship. He hosts The Glenn Show, frequently joined by another friend of the show, linguist John McWhorter. Glenn’s publications include, “The Anatomy of Racial Inequality,” “Race, Incarceration, and American Values,” “One by One from the Inside Out,” and “Ethnicity, Social Mobility and Public Policy.” His memoir, “Late Admissions: Confessions of a Black Conservative,” is forthcoming.

Sungazing, consciousness, and TESTING a TELEPATHIC POWER
A participant in Orlando, Florida claims that gazing into the sun can expand consciousness. The man describes his past dedication to sungazing and its benefits, including heightened awareness, expanded altruism, and development of telepathic powers.
Telepathy becomes the second claim that Peter Boghossian investigates: “Some people can read people’s minds.” The man performs a live test of mental projection on Street Epistemologist Reid Nicewonder.
0:00 Intro
0:17 Claim: “Sungazing can create further expansion of consciousness.”
11:30 Claim 2: “Some people can read people’s minds.”

Trans Ideology vs. Biology | Peter Boghossian & Luana S. Maroja
Special thanks to Birch Gold Group for sponsoring today's episode. Text "PETER" to 989898 for your FREE info kit on gold.
Luana S. Maroja is a renowned evolutionary biologist, Professor of Biology, and Chair of the Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Program at Williams College. She was taken aback when the Society for the Study of Evolution released a statement promoting sex as a spectrum and declaring the validity of “lived experience” in sexual identity. What would
inspire such a misguided, conspicuously anti-scientific declaration? In this conversation with Peter, she answers that question.
In plain language, Luana explains chromosomal differences in mammals and how the sex binary is expressed in animals. She addresses popular arguments about exceptions to the binary, such as variations in sex chromosomes, hormone receptor failure, and developmental sex disorders.
They also discuss: Moralistic and naturalist fallacies, bimodality, being “born in the wrong body,” social constructs, clown fish, non-biologists teaching bad biology, and trans racialism.
Luana S. Maroja earned her undergraduate and master’s degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and her PhD from Cornell University. Her research interests include population ecology, speciation, population genetics, phylogeny, and phylogeography. Luana studies a variety of organisms, including small mammals, insects, and plants, and has
published more than 35 scientific papers.
Luana co-authored The Ideological Subversion of Biology, the cover article in the July/August 2023 issue of Skeptical Inquirer magazine.

Can MEN be LESBIANS?
In Sarasota, Florida, Peter Boghossian conducted an interesting Street Epistemology exercise with a man from Jamaica.

The Cost of Unmasking Antifa | Peter Boghossian & Andy Ngo
Special thanks to Birch Gold Group for sponsoring today's episode. Text "PETER" to 989898 for your FREE info kit on gold.
Journalist Andy Ngo has been in the news regarding the conclusion of his civil lawsuit against Rose City Antifa. Members of the Portland “anti-fascist” group assaulted Andy multiple times since 2019, putting him in the hospital with a brain hemorrhage. Despite a plethora of video evidence, the jury cleared the assailants of responsibility on August 8. Andy and one of his lawyers discussed juror intimidation by the defense lawyer and other Antifa members with Laura Ingraham.
Peter Boghossian and Andy had this conversation prior to the conclusion of the trial. They have been friends for years, first meeting at Portland State University in 2015 when Peter was a professor and Andy was a graduate student.
Peter and Andy share their first-hand experience with the damage Social Justice ideology has inflicted on Portland, Oregon. They discuss the decline in crime prevention by police and citizens, including the national effect of former US Marine Daniel Penny’s indictment.
Andy explains why left-wing violence is tolerated and even encouraged. Many academics have ties to violent extremists (or are violent extremists themselves) and activist journalists provide narratives that justify vitriol toward their ideological enemies. Andy explains how left-wing radicalization begins as early as elementary school.
Andy and Peter were previously involved in secular activism. They consider the consequences of bartering fealty to traditional religions in exchange for Wokism. Peter describes his Pollyanna expectation for a new age of rational flourishing and his surprise at the secular pseudo-religious outcome.
Also discussed: moral triaging, identity vs. class, epistemological paralysis, Billboard Chris, trans militancy, preferred pronouns, and the ineffectiveness of anonymity.
Andy Ngo is the author of the #1 national bestseller, Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy. His articles can be found in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Quillette, New York Post, Fox News, and other publications. Andy is Senior Editor at The Post Millennial.

Is the USA Designed to Privilege White People?
In San Juan, Puerto Rico, Peter Boghossian asked five people to consider the claim, “The US is designed to privilege white people.” Peter was the only white person participating in the conversation.
There was widespread agreement with the claim among the participants. They cited various systems that participate in racism against blacks, including policing, the judicial and university system, and the overall way that resources are distributed. The participants were candid in their assessments of race relations and shared views on racial stereotypes, the sources of racial animosity, and the particular problem of “white women.”
At the end of the conversation, Peter asks the group how white people could alleviate the expressed grievances.

Peter Boghossian & Kathleen Stock: Lesbians Don’t Have Penises
Special thanks to Birch Gold Group for sponsoring today's episode. Text "PETER" to 989898 for your FREE info kit on gold.
Kathleen Stock is a British philosopher, author, and gender critical feminist who recently left mainstream academia. She resigned her professorship at Sussex University at the end of 2021 due to ideological censorship and death threats from trans activists. Like Peter Boghossian, Kathleen is a Founding Faculty Fellow at the University of Austin, Texas (UATX). Peter and Kathleen were both participating faculty in UATX’s Forbidden Courses program this summer and met for a conversation.
Kathleen talks about the strange new world LGBTQ+ activists have created for gay men and lesbians, particularly defining gay identity as “same gender attracted.” Kathleen, herself a lesbian, is concerned about the confusing messages young lesbians receive from gender ideologues—like the notion that “lesbians can have penises.”
Peter and Kathleen also discuss preferred pronouns, cultish qualities in trans activism, the new Virgin Mary (any pregnant trans man), the callow misuse of philosophy, the effect of morally fashionable beliefs on philosophers, ruined academic disciplines, Wittgenstein, women’s competitive nature, the Substitution Hypothesis, the ethics of gender transition, backward reasoning, and hope for the next generation.
Kathleen Stock’s latest book is "Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism." She is a columnist for UnHerd and recently launched The Lesbian Project with Julie Bindel.

BIOLOGY is for BIGOTS
At Flinders Station in Melbourne, Australia, Peter Boghossian presented the claim, “Gender is different from sex.” The ensuing discussion drew a crowd of onlookers. Midway through, a man disrupted the conversation and compared women’s free speech to Nazism.
Two female passersby and Richard from Common Ground Conversations participated in the SSE exercise. The women presented similar viewpoints about gender identity, both proposing that the subjective feeling of gender outweighs objective standards regarding anatomy, genetics, or hormonal profile. One woman stated that a doctor should know a patient’s “sex assigned at birth”; in every other case, biology is irrelevant.
Richard asserts that there are important differences between sex and gender identity, citing concern for women’s safety in shelters, prisons, changing rooms, and athletic competitions. He questions the purpose of female sports categories if not for the biological differences between men and women. In response, one woman proposes the removal of sex-based sports categories—even if this results in natal men outperforming natal women.

Poetry of Reality | Peter Boghossian & Richard Dawkins
Peter Boghossian has been inspired by the work of preeminent evolutionary biologist, author, and atheist Richard Dawkins for years. In this conversation, they discuss various impingements of delusional thinking on rationality.
Richard is unsettled by the substitution hypothesis—the proposal that as one religion fades, another will take its place. Yet, he recognizes the transfer of religious structures into Woke dogma, including the replacements of white privilege for Biblical original sin and trans ideology for Catholic transubstantiation. Richard says he’s wasted his life if humans are destined to embrace a default level of delusional thinking from one source or another.
Peter and Richard consider whether some delusions are more benign than others and if the lesser of the evils should be accepted. Richard proposes that scientific thinking and evidence-based belief could replace irrationality, saying the wonders of science provide a “nearly spiritual experience.”
Also discussed: Fermi’s paradox, natural selection, extraterrestrial genetics, skeletal gender, Lamarck vs Darwin, the ideological capture of science journals, tribal belief, and two mysteries unanswered by science.
