Paul Waldman: I think there's dumb trigger warnings which apply for things that assume people are extremely sensitive. He says the fact that half of 1% of people respond by getting extremely upset is not enough to provide a trigger warning. Waldman: The left, the woke are hyper concerned and want the triggers. And then, you know, people on the right anti-woke mock this and say this. But there's another way to look at this.
The great Paul Bloom returns to the show to explore the many mysteries of Todd Field’s 2022 film “Tár.” Is it a ghost story? A movie about cancel culture and abuse of power? Guilt? Professional disappointment? The anxiety of getting old, losing touch with youth and reality? Reminds me of my freshman year at Smith…
Plus – Paul gets into trouble on Twitter for saying he’s mildly pro-trigger warnings in certain cases. But is he ignoring the science???
