"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?

Is Canada broken? Mira Metter spent the last few years trying to answer that question, and the result is her new documentary, Broken Country.
Join Peter Boghossian live with Mira and Mike Werry to dig into it. What's actually going on in Canada, how did it get here, and is there a way back? Peter also wants to know what Mira found that surprised her, and how she knows what she thinks she knows.

Has the West lost sight of morality? And is that why it struggles to confront the spread of Islam? In this conversation, the roles are reversed. Raymond Ibrahim asks the questions, and Peter Boghossian answers. It starts with epistemology: What is it about how people in the West decide what's true that has left them unable, or unwilling, to confront Islam's spread? Where does the Western moral compass come from? What broke it? And is there hope?
