Bringing An End To Race Politics - Coleman Hughes

What this episode covers

Coleman Hughes is a writer, an author and a podcaster. The state of race relations in America seemed to be improving for decades, then crashed and burned over the last 5 years. What's going on?

Expect to learn why anti-racism is just neo-racism, the difference between being colourblind and actually being racist, why your social class is more important than your ethnicity, whether MeToo hurt women more than helping them, if there is a realistic case for DEI, whether any race-based policies have ever worked and much more...

Explicit Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind Free Education From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity's creation and evolution - a number one international best seller - that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human".One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one - Homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago, with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger id Explicit This One Time On Psychedelics Ryan Sprague Welcome, fellow explorers of the infinite.If you’re here, it means you’re ready to step beyond the ordinary and into the great unfolding mystery of existence itself.
