Peter Boghossian and Reid Nicewonder, President of Street Epistemology International, are joined by one of their intellectual heroes, David Deutsch. The conversation begins with an exploration of the contagious nature of ideologies, where good intentions can lead to intellectual pitfalls. The three discuss the challenges posed by Social Justice ideology, scrutinizing its evasion tactics in the face of critique and the broader societal implications, such as corrupting peer-reviewed literature and hindering open discourse.
Thank you Peter for engaging David Deutsch (an intellectual hero of mine as well) in a fascinating discussion. His book The Beginning of Infinity is a triumph of optimism and highly recommended reading for those that want to understand the epistemological way to our best future. Also I was struck by the essential nature of his answer at 1:06:29. Great job gentlemen.

Always good to re-examine the possibility that you aren't necessarily thinking completely clearly.
