Culture Wars – with Andrew Doyle

Excellent limited-run pod series, intelligently battling groupthink & the wokeness. Most especially enjoyed the James Lindsay ep.

About 10 episodes in and I find each episode important and enriching. Whether I agree or not is beside the point. I just finished episode 7 with Julie Bindel. Great discussion, a lot to think about. A quick note on her discussion about prostitution, no disagreement with her position but she mentions the need to pass laws that represent the majority of experiences, “...we don’t legislate for the minority do we...”. Actually, in the US, we do. The Bill of Rights makes that determination. Majority rule, minority rights. If 95% share an experience, we don’t automatically disregard the 5%. Still a great discussion.

Whatever

Titania McGrath hates this show, yet somehow it’s actually good. Doyle’s work as both an undercover culture warrior AND a legit cultural luminary must be a handful but he balances both with grace, vim, and vigor—as evidenced in this program. Too bad the US can’t claim him as a national treasure. One hopes the UK recognizes this jewel in their crown, at least those still worth respecting do.
