Episode Details

University of Texas at Austin professor and moral philosopher Prof. J. Budziszewski discusses his new book, “The Pandemic of Lunacy: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy,” which examines 30 modern delusions and why they spread on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” ft. guest host Jack Fowler.

He argues today’s irrationality is motivated, often contains a grain of truth, and metastasizes as one false premise leads to others, with social media acting as a force multiplier.

The conversation covers relativism, abortion premises leading to infanticide arguments, radical individualism sliding toward authoritarianism, and debates over sex differences and the claim that men can be women.
