Ep. 23 The Simpleminded Society: Modern Intolerance

In the sixth episode of the season, Ryan diagnoses the various forms of censorship, coercion, and discrimination in contemporary society, providing a nuanced understanding of free thinking and free speech. "Censorship on both the corporate and social levels is often done in the name of 'tolerance, inclusivism, diversity, coexistence,' and yet far too often the censorship in question directly opposes these values (and therefore it becomes unethical). The irony is that many who are against 'discrimination, prejudice, generalizations, stereotypes,' etc. promote these very things."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.
