Triggernometry Hosts Play Spectrum Street Epistemology (Part 1)
Peter Boghossian, Konstantin Kisin, & Francis Foster
Triggernometry co-hosts Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster joined Peter Boghossian for Spectrum Street Epistemology (SSE) in London. The discussion was held in front of Middlesex Guildhall, the building housing the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.
Peter offered more than a dozen claims to Konstantin and Francis, initially focused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Topics include Hamas, “proportionate” military response, Israel’s right to exist, anti-Semitism, the incitement of violence, and the limits of free speech. This is part one of the conversation.
Konstantin Kisin is a Russian-British author, satirist, and cultural critic. He is the author of An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West, a bestselling book about free speech and cancel culture through the perspective of an Eastern bloc immigrant.
Francis Foster is a cultural commentator, well-known comedian, and former teacher of English and drama. Before launching Triggernometry, he co-hosted the “Probably Offensive” podcast.
Triggernometry is a podcast dedicated to free speech and open discussion of controversial topics.

4 Thumbs Up!
Thank you for this great content! I am always interested in hearing what you, Konstantin, and Francis have to say. I think their assistance in getting Sam Harris feeling comfortable talking publicly again is a testament to how important their ability to extend grace to their guests https://youtu.be/OqoHt2pUjaE?t=1301 and no-small-talk humor is for society right now.
As for the claim: "If tomorrow, we had a magic wand and I waved it and everybody were an atheist, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict would be easier to solve." https://youtu.be/HpUjJL0D9Uo?t=1592
I think the wise seers of our time, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, provided the best response to this claim in 2006. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5ZiqFfalGQ
