About this episode

Zuby and Peter Boghossian discuss the decline of free speech and the complexities of belief and identity in society.

Zuby is joined by philosopher, author, and educator Peter Boghossian. Peter shares what he has learned from years of travelling the world, holding difficult conversations, and teaching Street Epistemology. The conversation explores why people believe what they believe, how moral identity shapes opinions, and why younger people are often more open to having their ideas challenged. They also discuss cultural taboos, religious sensitivity, friendship across ideological divides, the death penalty, and much more.
