Two friends at the University of Central Florida discuss opposing reactions to the claim, “Incest is morally wrong.” They consider medical implications, Biblical practices, and cultural norms. Absolute morality is contrasted with relative morality, and one participant suggests other moral prohibitions (like lying and murder) must be considered in context. The conversation leads to a second claim: “LGBT rights are relative.” Chapters 0:00 Teaser 0:20 Intro 1:15 First claim 11:30 Second claim ⸺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 #streetepistemology #lgbtq

"When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives" is the latest book by bestselling author Heather Mac Donald. Mac Donald sounds an alarm about the erosion of meritocracy through “disparate-impact” ideology in science, medicine, jurisprudence, and art. While concerns about civilizational decline are not a laughing matter, Peter Boghossian injects a playful element to this interview by taking on the role of a progressive and challenging Mac Donald to defend her claims. Mac Donald shares her research and views on equity, the scientific method, credentials in medicine and law, colorblind meritocracy, classical music, crime, and the skills gap, all while affably referring to Peter as “Mr. Lefty.” "When Race Trumps Merit" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/When-Race-Trumps-Merit-Sacrifices/dp/1956007164 Heather Mac Donald is the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a contributing editor of City Journal, and a New York Times bestselling author. Her writing has appeared in various publications, including the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The New Republic, and The New Criterion. Her numerous honors include the Integrity in Journalism Award, the Eugene Katz Award, and the 2005 Bradley Prize.

Wokeness, Public Safety, BLM, & Antifa with Matt Thornton (Full Series) According to Matt Thornton, “The only thing that’s ever made the world more peaceful is the ability to engage in violence, to threaten violence, or to protect people from violence.” Thornton explores the topic in his new book and shares a sample of the issues in this video, including the misdirected “defund the police” movement, the effect of ideological media narratives, the suppression of civil discourse, and data about crime, criminals, and police shootings. Matt Thornton has taught functional martial arts for more than 30 years. He holds a 5th-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is the founder of Straight Blast Gym International, training champion MMA fighters and world-class law enforcement instructors. His latest book is The Gift of Violence: Practical Knowledge for Surviving and Thriving in a Dangerous World.

When Policy Gets Woke Episode 5 of “Wokeness, Public Safety, BLM & Antifa” w/Matt Thornton Police officers spend more time in areas where crime is likely to occur. This common-sense, data-driven approach is turned on its head when officials apply woke ideology to community policing. In Episode 4 of “Wokeness, Public Safety, BLM & Antifa,” Matt Thornton explains how former Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty misused data to dismantle Portland’s Gun Violence Response Team. This failure contains valuable lessons that can benefit public safety.

Can Words Be Violence? Episode 4 of “Wokeness, Public Safety, BLM & Antifa” w/Matt Thornton Words can be vulgar, mean-spirited, or hurtful, but are they violent? Some activists claim certain words are “literal violence,” and they use this claim as justification to shut down speakers and curtail free speech. In Episode 4 of “Wokeness, Public Safety, BLM & Antifa,” Matt Thornton explains why suppressing civil discourse increases the possibility of actual violence.

I had the good fortune to be in Australia in March, the same time Kellie-Jay Keen brought her Let Women Speak (LWS) tour to Australia and New Zealand. We were scheduled to meet, but Kellie-Jay’s tour was cut short when a violent mob of TRAs (trans rights activists) threatened her life. On March 25, Kellie-Jay was at Albert Park in Auckland for a planned LWS event. These gatherings have a very simple structure: women are invited to speak about women’s issues. Men are also allowed to speak, but they must wait until the end. Hundreds of TRAs came to Albert Park to protest Kellie-Jay, turning violent before the speakers even got started. The mob toppled metal barriers, dumped tomato sauce and water on Kellie-Jay, and one (a man) punched an elderly woman multiple times in the face, cracking her skull. The mob attacked Kellie-Jay, and according to police, she was lucky to have survived. (Andrew Doyle provides a solid assessment of the situation with clips from the event here.) Obviously, the event was canceled, as was the event planned in Wellington the following day. New Zealand police put Kellie-Jay under protection and advised her to leave the country immediately due to credible threats on her life. I didn’t meet with Kellie-Jay in Sydney as we’d planned. But I did have an extended conversation with her following this authoritarian display of speech suppression and violence against women. We discussed what happened in Auckland, how she was defamed by Australian media before she arrived, why she’s not “anti-trans” (or a Nazi), why she rejects the idea of gender, what we should do about activist educators, why voting for truth takes precedence over other political issues, and much more. One question I asked Kellie-Jay is how we can overcome this illogical, authoritarian, and increasingly violent ideology. After you watch our conversation please feel free to share your ideas. 0:00 Teaser 0:16 Intro + The Auckland Incident 8:05 Kellie's Femalist Views 20:29 Kellie addresses media disinformation 25:40 The Melbourne Incident 29:33 The Evolution of "N*zi" 32:49 Why ideologues don't debate 33:23 The attitude that we need 36:50 Konstantin Kisin's Tweet 40:06 How public education has failed 45:11 Kellie on fixing education 46:10 Why Teachers Are Activists 48:20 Solutions using the political process 55:38 The Responsibility of Men 57:41 Dylan Mulvaney 1:01:09 Kellie's Endgame + Outro ⸺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 #posieparker #kelliejaykeen #feminism

Associate Professor of Psychology Charles Negy was canceled by an online mob for “offensive” speech on Twitter in June 2020. Within weeks, the University of Central Florida (UCF) launched an investigation, firing him six months later. In 2022, an arbitrator ruled that UCF did not have just cause for the termination and Negy was reinstated. In this interview with Peter Boghossian, Negy details his experience with university officials throughout the 2-year ordeal and considers how universities can be saved from illiberal ideology. Peter also introduces Negy to Hanna, a UCF student who was part of the mob that canceled him. Hanna explains her experience of indoctrination in the Social Justice movement and how she became a free speech advocate. Negy has filed a lawsuit against UCF’s board of trustees for violating the First and Fourteenth Amendments, negligence, abuse of process, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
