In a recent conversation with Naomi Riley, a senior fellow at AEI and child welfare expert, Christina Buttons and I dived into a deeply disturbing topic: the factors damaging child welfare. Riley argues that the emphasis on anti-racism has inadvertently harmed child protection efforts in the United States. Antiracist ideology has led to the wholesale corruption of social work institutions (and individual social workers), which are crucial for protecting child welfare; this has had detrimental impacts on children in various settings, from foster care to homeless encampments.

When institutional administrators value neither dialogue nor sincere people asking honest questions, problems become more difficult to solve. If this goes on long enough, the institution will break down or resort to a kind of authoritarianism that clings to power.

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.

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? ⸺SUPPORT MY WORK⸺ Newsletter | https://boghossian.substack.com/ Donate | https://www.nationalprogressalliance.org/donate/ ⸺LINKS⸺ Podcast: "Conversations with Peter Boghossian": https://pod.link/1650150225 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 __________ #dignity #chinataiwan #peterboghossian

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.

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.

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. ⸺SUPPORT MY WORK⸺ Newsletter | https://boghossian.substack.com/ Donate | https://www.nationalprogressalliance.org/donate/ ⸺LINKS⸺ Podcast: "Conversations with Peter Boghossian": https://pod.link/1650150225 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 __________ #whistleblower #genderaffirmingcare #pediatricmedicine #peterboghossian

Artist Jess de Wahls and biologist Güneş Taylor play Spectrum Street Epistemology in London. They explored the distinctions between being female, being a woman, and identifying as a feminist.
