Take this as you will but i find that the more i offer myself the opportunity to question what i "believe" and really delve into why i stand on that mat. I end up being more educated, forthcoming, and willing to listen in my day to day conversations.

This was great. I have to say that this 'game' was a pretty genius idea from Peter for a number of reasons, that I'm somewhat going to sum up here: 1. It creates nuance and understanding in current discussions to counter the stupid polarization-pull, 2. It's a great way to do something useful for philosophers. A fellow philosophy grad student told me that she was very insecure about her future, careerwise, and that her dream was to be kind of "the village philosopher" who'd help people with their philosophical question, as opposed to being stuck in academia. I think that with this game, Peter has found a way to do that. That's meant as a compliment, I'm being sincere here.

Blair White acknowledges he isn't a woman. That doesn't mean we can not treat him as one because he tries and, in many ways, is successful.

He has only ever seen Blaire from angles and with lighting and seated etc. in the strictly controlled way Blaire allows via a computer screen… I suspect this guy would have no trouble knowing this wasn’t a chick if he was out at a club looking to pull. Or if he was looking for a childminder for his kid. All of a sudden I think he’d figure out something was different. Having said that, I do get his point.

What an excellent conversation! And thanks for the refreshing humour from all of you. I've encountered all three gentlemen before for one reason or another (online, though not personally; though I do know some of Graham's extended family); and I read the earliest writings on the Sokal Affair (also known as the Grievance Studies Affair) shortly after they first appeared. (That's one of Peter Boghossian's many claims to fame -- and among the self-righteous, to infamy.) I found it interesting and encouraging that none of them found the presence of Islam in the UK to be beneficial to the country. They raise some of the objections that I and others would recognise. But most of those objections are undesirable symptoms, rather than fundamental issues. In particular, they don't raise one of the most important underlying issues, which even underlies the threat to Jews. It is that Islam does not recognise one of the most fundamental concepts on which Western ideas of society and democracy are based. Islam recognises no distinction between the sacred and the secular. It is both a systematic religious belief and a systematic concept of politics. (Maybe I could put that better; but it will have to do for now.) And its teleology is essentially aggressive towards any societal concepts that are opposed to it. One can see the consequences of this in the way that the pro-Palestinian demonstrations have infected vast numbers of people who think they are being virtuous, but know next-to-nothing about the complexities of the subject. Underlying all that, including the rise of Islamic influence in the UK and other countries of Europe, is identity politics -- the most divisive and poisonous body of thought to have arisen in my lifetime, poisonous equally for individuals and for society. Thanks Men! Thank you so much for such a healthy discussion of so many difficult things. Such discussions are in sadly short supply. I think it was Aristotle who said it is important to be able to laugh, even about the most serious things. (You discussed that.) If I'm wrong on that attribution to Aristotle, please correct me.

@@Cybertruck1000 Could be a fun family Xmas game too! Instead of charades, let's see where everyone stands on immigration or other hot topics ;-) I reckon if it went mainstream it'd probably suffer for the same group think it as most other programs, with "safe" guests being invited, all with the same safe opinions... either that or people being terrified to have unpopular opinions in public It'd be cool having Leo and Owen Jones on the same show though ;-)

[@rogerw2235]

That was Brilliant.

I'd love to see Peter do this in the Netherlands. We're know to be rude, but we just value honesty over courtesy. We're known for being cheap when we just don't like to live beyond our means, which is why we don't use credit cards. I won't deny any of these accusations, but I will give the context. Most times it's just different values, not a matter of right or wrong.

Graham is a brilliant writer. Great pair doing this interview

[@dinocarosi4303]

Black Books is still one of my all-time favourites.

[@Mercyful_Fate.]

@dinocarosi4303 great show 👏

[@cnrspiller3549]

Just read "Tough Crowd". It made me really angry and so sad for Graham. I am so very impressed by his strength and courage. Leo is hilarious. I love his KZbin monologues. Provocative, funny and thoughtful.

[@angelh5762]

That's so true Graham, drip feeding truth with distractions while creating instability.

I have much more respect for someone who bought into DEI and saw the error of their way than someone who never believed it but propagated it for a few measly coins. If you come out now after being "woke" for years and say you never really believed it, you don't get a pass.

Without watching the video: Short answer: No Long answer: Of course not, how could anyone be so foolish to sincerely say otherwise in 2023.

i think this is the best street epistemology yet

[@CrudelyMade]

Leo is funnier here than he's been on the lotus eaters.. something about the lack of any restriction frees his reigns on being as honest and funny as possible. :-D

[@duncefunce1513]

He's on the newest episode of the Lotus Eaters, it's probably the funniest episode I've heard. Those boys are loosening up.

[@MPFben]

I saw this as 55mins long and thought “I’ll just skip through a bit”. It ended up being on of the best 55mins of viewing I’ve had for a long while.

[@rdg71-o9t]

Great to See Linehan laugh.

[@justmemimi7338]

33:45 I didn’t know this. Very interesting. Thanks and Happy New Year 🥂🍾

[@Bobmudu35UK]

Great pairing! I like both these men,but the way Graham has been treated is a scandal! Peter, you'd be welcomed with open arms to the UK.

[@rosemaryalles6043]

Intelligent and entertaining. Thank you for not editing out the immigration issue.

[@BuceGar]

This one was really good.

[@BoojayDeeth]

Great format.

[@leoncsorba9085]

Mr Lineham is a hero ❤

[@ReidNicewonder]

My favorite moment: 37:57 - "I'm right here, Graham!" 😂

[@dranderson6071]

One of the best outings. These 2 gents are great

[@drpeterboghossian]

Yes they are!

[@michellehudson6865]

This was so interesting. Thankyou Peter.

*People should have to pay for two seats:* Disagree. The first issue is that airlines should be required to make seats the average American can sit in comfortably. This means they can't CRAM people on the planes in to tiny seats. If the seats fit the average American comfortably, people who are larger would fit in better too.

[@LeeStoneman]

But then obviously there would be less seats on the plane. So obviously all of the seats would have to go up in price. You would be happy to pay more so that fat people can fly for the same price as you?
