This episode explores: – Campus politics and online outrage – Left vs right approaches to speech and protest – Why young people are radicalised by social media – Islam, culture, and criticism – Feminism, patriarchy, and biological vs cultural explanations – Why political conversations now escalate so quickly Whether you’re on the Left, Right, or politically homeless, this conversation is an attempt to slow things down and actually understand why these debates feel so unresolvable. This is not a “gotcha” interview — it’s a serious attempt to test ideas in public.
