Episode notes

The idea was that these secular values can be inculcated by people as if they were foundational religious truths, you know. And so it looked like for a while, that was going to work. But then that kind of just fell to the wayside when all this critical race, post modernism stuff kind of arose in the two thousands. What what do you think abouthand of ethical society ands judaism?

Shermer, Weiss, and Bartning discuss: why we need the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR) when we have the ACLU, the SPLC, etc.; Richard Dawkins canceled by the AHA; hate speech as violence; Liberal and Conservative attitudes toward free speech and how they shifted; private vs. public speech; government censorship vs. cancel culture; anti-Semitism on the Left and the Right; QAnon; Israel and the BDS movement (Boycott, Divestments, Sanctions); What happened at The New York Times?; why free speech is foundational to other rights; and why we need to judge people based on the content of their character and not the color of their skin (or any other immutable characteristic).
