  • Episode #4 - Guns and Public Intellectuals (10/21/18)

    This week on Turn On The Mic, we discuss public intellectuals such as Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Bret Weinstein, Noam Chomsky, and several others including the so called Intellectual Dark Web as a whole. We talk about what they are doing, their criticisms, fair and unfair, and their impact. We also talk tangentially about foreign policy. Then we talk about guns, gun control, and violence in American culture. As always, any constructive criticism is much appreciated, and the same goes for thought provoking questions.
