Intellectual Cowardice, Pride, and Changing Minds

Zuby is joined by author and journalist Michael Shellenberger for a wide-ranging conversation on truth, media, and the environment. Michael reacts to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, examines how social platforms distort our perception of crime, and explores the radicalisation of universities and media. The two explore environmental myths, debate gender and sports, and trace the generational, demographic, and geopolitical shifts reshaping the West.
