25: A Robust Defense of Free Speech, with Greg Lukianoff

MARCH 31, 2021

EPISODE NOTES

How do you know what's true, and what's false? What's right, or wrong? How do you know... what you know? You likely heard all of it somewhere, and for you to hear it, somebody had to say it. Because for us to be able to figure out what's true - in order to form a more perfect union - we must be able to speak with one another, freely. Greg Lukianoff, President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, fights against speech restrictions being enacted in the very institutions that should be bastions of free expression.
