Uniting America with John Wood Jr.

Sam Harris is a philosopher, neuroscientist, author, host of The Making Sense podcast, and one of the foremost public intellectuals in the United States, if not the world. In this conversation, Sam and I talked about his unwillingness to publicly debate proponents of the stolen election claim and skeptics of the COVID 19 vaccine including our mutual friend Brett Weinstein, and the reasons why Sam chose not to engage Brett publicly. But at its heart, our conversation was about the project of intellectual persuasion as a means to rebuild social trust among diverse groups. We reflect on the intellectual dark web's impact and potential paths to rehabilitate our political society. In both agreement and disagreement, Sam remains a role model to me and others, and it's an honor to have spoken with him.

Kim Iversen is the host of the Kim Iversen Show on YouTube, and formerly a co-host of The Hill Rising. In this conversation, she tells us about the controversy behind her exit from The Hill. Kim is no stranger to controversy. She's somebody who outrages people on the political left and right, as well as somebody who has dedicated fans on both the left and the right. Kim and I focus on the subject of populism: What does it mean? How is it similar or different from left to right? And whether or not it's possible for us to have the sorts of conversations that can meaningfully transcend the divide, and bring about the sort of transparency that can once again bring credibility to our institutions. We dig into the question of Populism vs. the Establishment, and whether or not the divide that exists in American politics today is not best understood, not as a divide between left and right, but as a divide between the people and the folks who run the institutions. Kim goes into her opinions on our COVID response policies, some of the way the science was or was not followed by our public health officials. #UnitingAmerica brought to you by #BraverAngels Follow the Podcast on, Apple Podcasts – https://apple.co/3Du7ZON Spotify – https://spoti.fi/3DM9SaO Google Podcast – https://bit.ly/3GVUjOi Stitcher – https://bit.ly/3SSlHk8 Pandora – https://bit.ly/3DnCQMN i-Heart Radio – https://bit.ly/3DOnuCd Amazon & Audible – https://amzn.to/3DOv7sn RSS Feed – https://feeds.megaphone.fm/unitingamericawithjohnwoodjr Follow Kim Iversen on, Kim Iversen Show - https://bit.ly/2tC5hD3 Twitter - https://bit.ly/3CZF5Xb Instagram - https://bit.ly/3iUB0g1 Follow John Wood Jr. on, Twitter - https://bit.ly/3X9gwPn YouTube - https://bit.ly/3vzkF3g Facebook - https://bit.ly/3QdWgJT Instagram - https://bit.ly/3vDPG66 Website - https://bit.ly/3Gcf3AE
