This is perhaps one of my favorite conversations ever. We touch on psychology, lefty politics, humor and comedy. All my favorite subjects! ~ Julianna
Julianna speaks with Ben Burgis about his new book Cancelling Comedians While the World Burns. In it, he looks at what’s been called the pathologies of the contemporary left, including cancel culture, and encourages leftists to consider the effect of participation in it, and perhaps focus on our larger shared goals. And you can get the book right here: amazon.com/Canceling-Comedians-While-World-Burns/dp/1789045479
Dr. Ben Burgis has a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Miami and is a professor of philosophy at Georgia State University Perimeter College. He has a regular weekly segment on The Michael Brooks Show called The Debunk. His writings have appeared in Jacobin, Quillette, Areo, and elsewhere, and is the author of Give Them an Argument: Logic for the Left, published by Zero Books. Besides writing and teaching, he also dabbles in whiskey-tasting.
