The War Against the Past
I just wrapped up a great conversation with author and public intellectual Frank Furedi, who is ever-interesting. Frank has a new book, The War Against the Past, which I haven’t read yet but is on my must-read list. Given Frank’s heterodox and thoughtful writings, I’ve put this on my “Must Read” list.
Frank and I frequently cross paths at conferences, and I always find his commentary insightful and clear. Although we strongly disagree on some issues, I’ve always found Frank open to conversation, dialogue, and even friendly debate.
We discussed the politicization of identity and his concept of "decivilization," which he explains in detail. I also asked him about his shift from the far left to his now conservative views. We touched on species relativism (versus cultural, moral, or epistemological relativism), as well as the impact of politicization on public discourse and his work with MCC’s think tank in Brussels.
I’m looking forward to speaking with Frank at Genspect in Portugal and seeing him again in Hungary and possibly Romania. I hope you enjoy our episode. Thanks!

Are We Heading Toward A Moral Society? | Spectrum Street Epistemology (4K)
At the 2024 Incubate Debate National Championship, Peter engaged high school students in a discussion about college abolishing DEI programs.
With more businesses eliminating their DEI programs, will colleges and universities follow their lead? Will this change usher in a more moral society, where every individual can thrive and contribute based on their abilities and merits, regardless of their background or identity?

Understanding Human Worth | Spectrum Street Epistemology
At the 2024 Incubate Debate National Championship, Peter engaged high school students in exploring two contentious claims. Initially, the debate centered on whether America should intervene if China were to invade Taiwan.
However, the discussion quickly evolved into a profound examination of whether all lives hold equal value. Does the life of a rapist hold equal weight to one who contributes positively to society? Should some people be put to death? Is killing someone in self-defense moral? Should some people be put to death?

Killing America | Eli Steele
I recently had a conversation with Eli Steele (son of the legendary author Shelby Steele), an award-winning documentary filmmaker. We discussed his incisive, engaging, and timely film, Killing America. Killing America exposes pervasive anti-Semitism in the school system, what keeps it there, and the sickeningly underwhelming responses to it.
Eli’s sincerity and passion for improving America were evident throughout our conversation and indeed permeates his body of work. I highly encourage you to explore his films.

What is the Nature of Reality? | Spectrum Street Epistemology
At the FLCCC Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, Peter asks whether Tarot Cards can serve as a channel to communicate with the supernatural. He engages participants in a discussion aimed at exploring the boundaries between spiritual practices and empirical testing.
Peter’s question, "Can one test for the Supernatural?” sparks a debate about Covid treatment, personal beliefs, and cultural perspectives. Participants consider the challenges of applying the scientific method to phenomena often perceived as transcending the natural world.

Prism and Perception with Gurwinder Bhogal
It was a distinct pleasure to speak with Gurwinder Bhogal (G), a British writer and public intellectual whom I respect tremendously. Our conversation covered a wide range of topics, including perceptions of Donald Trump, the implications of a Harris-Trump election, the recent assassination attempt on Trump’s life, and then shifted to philosophical issues.

Progressivism Does Not Work with Alex Balekian, CA-30 Congressional Candidate
I recently had a conversation with Alex Balekian, a congressional candidate for California's 30th congressional district. I invited his political opponent, Laura Friedman, to join me for a discussion on the show, but she initially claimed not to have received the email and later said she was too busy. As a result, I engaged in a simulated debate with ChatGPT, where it represented her perspective.
During our conversation, Alex and I covered several key issues affecting his district, including the economy, transgender issues, crime, homelessness, and drug policies. These topics are significant concerns for his potential constituents.
I extend an open invitation to Laura, Alex's political opponent, to join the show whenever she chooses. I do not endorse any candidates in this race but remain open to hosting discussions with all parties involved.

Courageous Truth: Meeting Dr. Eithan Haim
I just traveled to Texas to meet Dr. Eithan Haim after losing a $1000 bet with Chris Rufo.
Little did I know, losing a $1000 bet with Chris Rufo would lead to one of the most impactful conversations of my life. I traveled to Texas to meet Dr. Eithan Haim, a general surgeon. Haim, a courageous whistleblower, exposed Texas Children’s Hospital’s blatant lies regarding their transgender program for children. His actions prompted swift legislative change in Texas, making the previously exposed conduct illegal within 24 hours.
Just hours before his graduation, however, federal agents unexpectedly arrived at his apartment. They have targeted Dr. Haim, his wife, and even his lawyers. Haim is looking at 10 years in federal prison for exposing the gender mutilation scandal at his hospital. His story is a powerful testament to the importance of speaking truth in the face of danger and the personal sacrifices that often accompany such courage.

Is Life Always Funny?
In this clip from my interview with comedian Lou Perez, Lou explains that the life and timing of a comedian encapsulate the journey of embracing laughter and forgiving oneself for failure.

These substances challenge conventional understandings of reality and offer unique insights into the capabilities of the human brain to construct and navigate diverse mental realms.

30% of Democrats Wish the Attempted Assassination on Trump's Life had Succeeded!
Eric Kaufmann recently authored the book "The Third Awokening: A 12-Point Plan for Rolling Back Progressive Extremism." Eric is a friend of the show and known for his data-driven, thoughtful analysis.
During our conversation, Eric made a striking observation: "30% of Democrats wish the attempted assassination on Trump's life had succeeded." This statistic is deeply alarming and underscores broader societal tensions in the United States.
In addition to discussing the attempted assassination of Trump, our conversation delved into sensitive topics such as race and IQ, Islam in the UK, and I even suggested that the UK might contemplate surrendering sovereignty at some point. We also touched upon the current political landscape, resulting in a spicy interview.

The Fate of the American Republic Post the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump
I recently had a really interesting conversation with my dear friend Faisal Al Mutar. Faisal is from war-torn Iraq, and he’s the most American person I have ever met. He leads Ideas Beyond Borders, an organization dedicated to translating Enlightenment texts into Arabic, among other impactful initiatives.
During our conversation, Faisal and I discussed the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and its implications, particularly in the context of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts. We also explored Trump's choice for a new Vice President, contrasting Vice President Harris and discussing the Democratic Party's current situation.

Meghan Daum's “Unspeak Easy” Community Protects Women's “Problematic Thoughts”
Author and journalist Meghan Daum is the host of "The Unspeakable Podcast," an interview show that questions prevailing narratives. She realized that women with heterodox views did not have a space to hash out thoughts about the current cultural moment, so she created one. Thus, “Unspeak Easy" was born, an online and in-person community where women can share their thoughts.
In this interview, Meghan and Peter discuss various personal and societal perspectives on family, parenting, and ideological divides. Topics include parenthood, adoption, the choice not to have children, and more.
