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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Richard Dawkins is a bestselling author and award-winning evolutionary biologist. He is an advocate for scientific literacy and an outspoken critic of creationism. His most notable books are The God Delusion and The Selfish Gene, both selling millions of copies internationally. Richard’s latest book is Flights of Fancy: Defying Gravity by Design and Evolution. Richard hosts The Poetry of Reality podcast and is on the board of the Center for Inquiry.

In San Juan, Puerto Rico, Peter Boghossian engaged two women and two school-age girls with the claim, “Racism is a significant problem in the US.” All four participants are people of color. The conversation began with examples of racism by white people in hiring, restaurant service, and classrooms, though participants agreed that racism can be exhibited by people of all races. The group rejected Ibram X. Kendi’s claim that addressing past racism requires present racism. Participants considered what tools could be used to measure societal racism and the importance of intent and impact in possible racist interactions. One woman rejected subjective experience as a data point, saying, “I can feel like someone’s being racist to me but that doesn’t mean it’s true.” In this conversation, individuals used the term “colored people,” which may feel outdated or even racist to some listeners. The following commentary by John McWhorter examines the use of this and other controversial race-related terms: https://slate.com/human-interest/2016/08/colored-person-versus-person-of-color-how-does-society-decide-which-racial-terms-are-acceptable.html ⸺SUPPORT MY WORK⸺ Newsletter | https://boghossian.substack.com/ Donate | https://www.nationalprogressalliance.org/donate/ ⸺LINKS⸺ Website | https://peterboghossian.com/ National Progress Alliance | https://www.nationalprogressalliance.org/ Resignation Letter | https://peterboghossian.com/my-resignation-letter ⸺BOOKS⸺ “How To Have Impossible Conversations” | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738285323/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_7DPKY2S21SSNAV8PCBW3_0 “A Manual For Creating Atheists” | https://www.amazon.com/Manual-Creating-Atheists-Peter-Boghossian/dp/1939578094/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1664805100&sr=1-2 ⸺SOCIAL MEDIA⸺ Twitter | https://twitter.com/peterboghossian Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/peter.boghossian/ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@peterboghossian All Socials | https://linktr.ee/peterboghossian __________ #PeterBoghossian #puertorico #transgender
