I was in Australia in mid-March of 2018, speaking in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. While I was there, I had the privilege of speaking to former Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson (Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnandersonao/), who is described accurately on Wikipedia as "handsome, well-educated and well-spoken." Mr. Anderson introduced one of my Australian lectures. We also had the opportunity to talk together for a few hours, and to complete this interview. We discussed many things -- responsibility, freedom, meaning in life, the polarization of viewpoints in the West, the ideological use of language and identity politics. It seems to me that the sensible fiscal policies Mr. Anderson pursued during his governmental tenure in Australia constitute a model for good governance in the West. Mr. Anderson has started a conversation series, where he discusses important philosophical, political and cultural issues. It can be found at https://johnanderson.net.au/media/ and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtnYSEGViOnb7k8ezUaWUww He can be followed on Twitter @JohnAndersonAO ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4NijLf3M-A

I was recently invited to speak at Linfield College, McMinnville, Oregon, by the Young Americans for Liberty. The talk had been booked for months, I had my plane tickets and reservations, the hall was ready.... But then the Linfield administration saw fit to disinvite me. So I gave my honorarium to the student group and they rented another venue. This video has the invitation letter, my response, and the subsequent talk, entitled Ethics and Free Speech. Thanks to YAL for hosting me.
