Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description
Continuing on The Identity Trap (2023). Which works better to achieve social progress; classical liberalism, or strategies involving emphasis of identity group membership?

We discuss cultural appropriation, free speech, standpoint epistemology, and more.
