Boghossian, Linehan, and Kearse Walk Into A Park
Spectrum Street Epistemology
The only thing better than an interview with Graham Linehan or Leo Kearse is doing Spectrum Street Epistemology with the two simultaneously! Peter Boghossian presents more than 20 claims to the gentleman, unearthing their perspectives on patriarchy, the looming technological singularity, limits of comedy, the BBC, and more.
Graham Linehan is an award-winning television writer and the comic genius behind British sitcoms “Father Ted,” “The IT Crowd,” and “Black Books.” He is a vocal advocate for women’s rights and children’s safety. He recently published his bestselling memoir, Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy.
Leo Kearse is an award-winning comedian with a new weekly show on GB News, The Saturday Night Showdown. He was banned from his venue at the Australian Perth Fringe Festival after his content was called transphobic—despite writing the material with a transgender woman he was dating.
"Are Muslims a benefit to the West?"
Nope, nada, nyet. Except maybe to highlight -- and to "vaccinate" against -- the problematic consequences of religious psychoses.
A rather famous observation by UK philosopher Anthony Flew:
" 'Why I am not a Muslim' gives readers abundant excellent reasons for not becoming or remaining Muslims and also makes a compelling case for the conclusion that Islam is flatly incompatible with the establishment and maintenance of the equal individual rights and liberties of a liberal, democratic, secular state. It thus provides further support for Mervyn Hiskett's more particular contentions about the threat to British traditions and values arising from our rapidly growing Muslim minority."

I suggest reading "The Dying Citizen" by Victor Davis Hanson, who shines a light on many of the topics discussed in this video. I summarize one of these issues in my "2026" Substack about global elites at https://2026.substack.com/p/the-schism-of-globalism
