Thank you for sharing this conversation! That was a little unexpected, but I think you successfully adjusted and kept the door wide open for future conversations. It is a privilege to experience you modeling your conversation skills. I hope “Conversations with Peter Boghossian” is a perpetual series!
I listened with interest to Mr. Ranch laud the efforts of Facebook fact-checkers. Instead of censoring, why not simply publish a general disclaimer, “Rely at your own risk… facts presented on this site may not be published by a person , or , if , human, the fact articulated may not be true. “ Obviously Facebook is in the business of mind control and censorship.// Your admission that you were fooled into thinking that Hunter’s porn was from Russia is brave. I personally resent it when I have been duped by lies. I note that Mr.Rauch glossed over the import and significance of this lie. The NewYork Post is not widely read in Portland. The phony Russia story was an orchestrated coverup to make sure we’d have a senile crooked creep for President.
