Peter Boghossian engaged “Billboard Chris” Elston and two other gentlemen in a conversation at Speakers’ Corner, London. Peter presented a number of claims on the topic of gender transition, beginning with the statement on Chris’ billboard: “Children cannot consent to puberty blockers.” Chris and a self-described “woke” participant find some points of agreement, but the discussion becomes heated on the topic of transwomen in female sports. “Billboard Chris” Elston is an activist for the public awareness of child sex “transitions” and children’s safety.

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. __________ Connect with Dr. Peter Boghossian: https://linktr.ee/peterboghossian Book: "How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide" by Peter Boghossian & James Lindsay https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738285323/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_7DPKY2S21SSNAV8PCBW3_0 This work is only possible because of your generous support.

Writer Rob Henderson coined the term “luxury beliefs,” an apt description of empty slogans that signal high status among the elite. Proclaiming “Defund the police!” may confer status on students at Columbia, but do they understand the cost such a policy would inflict on the poor? (Spoiler Alert: No.) Rob attended Yale, earned his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Cambridge, and served in the Air Force. His research interests include social cognition, prosocial behavior, and moral development and reasoning. He is a writer for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Quillette, and Substack and a Founding Faculty Fellow at the University of Austin, Texas.
