In this episode with Greg Lukianoff., we discuss free speech as a principle, why the many arguments for censorship or restricting speech don't hold water. We also touch on cancel culture, disinformation, campus free speech codes, and the potential benefits of Elon Musk taking over Twitter.
Greg is the President of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). He is the author of several books, including The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure, which he co-wrote with Jonathan Haidt.
