Kendipalooza: The Only Remedy to Past Discrimination is Present Discrimination #1
In his best-selling book "How to Be an Antiracist," Ibram Xolani Kendi (born Ibram Henry Rogers), wrote, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”
This claim, more than any other we examined on our Reverse Q&A tour, needs thoughtful examination because it is the core idea behind “equity”—a principle that has transformed virtually every institution in our society within the last seven years. And this is exactly why I conducted the epistemological exercise/game with this statement more than any other.

"All Things Re-Considered" is a new show that aims to take a closer look at the ideological capture of NPR. Matt Thornton and I will analyze NPR segments, have behind-the-scenes commentary from a journalist who worked at NPR affiliates, hear stories from listeners as to why they stopped listening and donating to NPR, and explain what you can do to push back and restore journalistic integrity.

This is a clip from a full conversation with Bruce Gilley, with the full video to be released at a later date.
Bruce Gilley is a professor of political science at Portland State University. Bruce wrote an article in 2017 for Third World Quarterly titled, “The case for colonialism.” This enraged people who called for him to lose his academic position and be stripped of his PhD. The article was retracted due to credible death threats. In 2023, he published a book by the same name.
Before his academic career, Bruce worked as a journalist in Hong Kong. This experience strongly influenced his views about colonialism. In 2021, we produced a series on my channel called, “Decolonize Explained” where Bruce debunks the myths around colonization.

Peter Boghossian engages a man in Spectrum Street Epistemology at Regents Park, London. All claims dealt with immigration to the UK: who benefits, what laws should be in place, and who should be able to seek asylum.
While the man agrees the UK should receive asylum seekers, he has varying opinions as to how many. Though this conversation dealt with immigration to the UK, it is relevant to any person whose country is dealing with an influx of immigrants.

In this video, participants analyze the claim “Speech is violence." More voices than usual are included because the audience was invited to ask questions. Many angles on the claim are considered, including the definition of “violence,” if speech used to *incite violence* is violence, and whether a speaker is responsible for a stress response in a listener.
In an unusual turn, Peter gave his facilitator microphone to a student, stood on a line on the Likert scale, and participated in the epistemological exercise. We hear Peter’s perspective on the claim and what it would take to change his mind. Thanks to the student who did a great job facilitating that part of the conversation.
This discussion took place at Dartmouth College on May 4, 2022.
