Seth Dillon: In An Age of Absurdity, We Need More Mockery

Seth Dillon is the CEO of the world’s leading satire site, the Babylon Bee. After being censored by Big Tech for telling a joke, Dillon recently testified before the House Energy Committee, where he defended free speech and made the moral case for mockery. In this lecture, Dillon discusses the war on truth and what we can do about it. Dillon delivered this lecture to UATX's Forbidden Courses students on June 20, 2023 in Dallas, Texas. Each summer, the Forbidden Courses gather courageous thinkers to explore the great human questions of our time. Apply Now⁠⁠ ⁠⁠uaustin.org⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠
