Peter and James are self-proclaimed atheists who are politically liberal, but their work exposing how certain areas of academia prioritize narrative above truth is not only important but hilarious. They also care a lot about having meaningful disagreements and are actively fighting "cancel culture." We talk to them about the Grievance Studies Affair as well as their new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/How-Have-Impossible-Conversations-Practical/dp/0738285323"> How To Have Impossible Conversations</a>. They also have a new project for facilitating impossible conversations called <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/">New Discourses</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">As usual, Kyle and Ethan also get into a few news stories including John Bolton the walrus, vaping AR-15's, and Monopoly for Christian women. They extend the conversation with Peter and James in the subscriber-exclusive portion of the episode.</p> <p dir="ltr">Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/peterboghossian">Peter Boghossian</a> on Twitter</p> <p dir="ltr">Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames">James Linday</a> on Twitter</p> <p dir="ltr">(7:12) <a href="https://babylonbee.com/news/john-bolton-waves-goodbye-returns-to-sea-to-be-walrus-again">John Bolton Waves Goodbye, Returns To Sea To Be Walrus Again</a></p> <p dir="ltr">(11:02)  <a href="https://babylonbee.com/news/new-female-version-of-monopoly-has-you-recruit-your-friends-into-a-pyramid-scheme">New Version Of Monopoly For Christian Women Has You Recruit All The Other Players Into A Pyramid Scheme</a></p> <p dir="ltr">(15:56) <a href="https://babylonbee.com/news/more-e-cigs-being-disguised-as-ar-15s-to-avoid-ban">More E-Cigs Being Disguised As AR-15s To Avoid Ban</a></p> <p dir="ltr">(19:43) <strong>Interview</strong>: The Grievance Studies Affair and How To Have Impossible Conversations with Peter Boghossian & James Lindsay</p> <p dir="ltr">(56:57) Hate Mail</p> <p dir="ltr">(1:00:51) <strong>Paid Subscriber-Exclusive:</strong> Continuing the conversation with Peter and James about the insanity of academia, the ridiculous things their papers endorsed, and how social justice is like a cult (and also Gremlins)</p> <p dir="ltr">Become a paid subscriber at <a href="https://babylonbee.com/plans">https://babylonbee.com/plans</a></p>
