Conversations with Peter Boghossian

Her job is to protect Parliament. She just won an award for service. And in the photo: Finger on the trigger, muzzle pointed at a fellow officer.
"It wasn't loaded." Rule #1 of gun safety: Treat every gun as if it is.
Thousands noticed. The Met didn't order remedial training. It said the criticism was because she's Muslim.
What would you trust this police force with? Policing? Gun safety? Evidence? And can an institution this corrupted by ideology ever recover?
Peter Boghossian goes live with Paul Sharp: Retired police officer, firearms instructor, and BJJ black belt martial artist with over 40 years of experience.

Did you know there's such a thing as "queer anthropology"?
Anthropologist Elizabeth Weiss says it's a sign of a much bigger problem. When a field abandons logic, falsifiability, and consistency, it stops being science and starts being ideology. Falsehoods get presented as truth, real problems go unsolved, and the past gets molded to fit the narrative instead of discovered.
Peter Boghossian and Elizabeth dig into how anthropology got captured, what it costs, and what it will take to bring the field back, valuing evidence.

"We're going to graduate students who aren't faking it."
AI can now write the essay, pass the exam, and fake the thinking. So what happens to education? Are universities making sure students can think for themselves, or are they producing graduates who outsource their minds to AI?
Peter Boghossian sits down with Loren Rotner, associate provost at the University of Austin (UATX), to dig into it. What's actually wrong with legacy institutions? Why have so many stopped teaching students how to think? And what safeguards is UATX putting in place to make sure its graduates can reason, write, and argue on their own?

Why is Gen Z killing themselves? Is therapy culture making it worse?

Peter Boghossian sits down with author Pierre Valentin to examine how mental illness became part of identity. "It's okay not to be okay" started as a message of comfort. Has it instead turned the abnormal into the normal?

Should every struggle be voiced publicly, or are some things better worked through privately? Have we outsourced to therapists what families used to provide? Has modern therapy, by encouraging a victim mentality, become part of the problem it claims to solve?
