In this episode we discuss Richard's article, "The Dangerous Passivity of the Intellectual Right: And why they need to starting fighting the war of ideas again." Every notice how the Left can mobilize movements and campaigns at the drop of an off-written tweet? Doesn't it seem that often times the Right does not even seem to engage in the war of ideas, or barely? These things and more you will hear about in the interview.
Philip Sharp discusses "stupidity" in his essay segment. Not the subject in general, but specifically as it applies to the Left-Right political divide. It may not turn out as you expect it will.
