My guest today is the provocative and fearless Glenn Loury, Professor of Economics at Brown University. He is an outspoken critic of Black Lives Matter and our new 'Awokening' . His dissent is rooted in a lifetime dedicated to studying racial inequality and effective social policy solutions.

He is a prolific writer and social commentator. Links to his work can be found at GlennLoury.com.

In this episode we cover EVERYTHING:

How far can the Wokeness revolution go?

Will we cancel MLK?

Why protesters are "playing with fire"

Role of belief and truth

Can Professor Loury save me from Conspiracyland?

Corporate-sponsored racism (with special bonus at the end)

Our Coronavirus conundrum has exposed our fragility. In the first part of this episode, I explore the importance of mourning our old lives and how we must adapt. Then I revisit Idiocracy, a member-only episode, on how we've bred fragility into our society. It's even more salient in light of this pandemic. In it, I cover the one thing that will decide if we get smarter or end up watering our crops with Gatorade. And it's not what you think. (Stay tuned past the credits for some bonuses.)
