My guest this week is Callie Wright, cohost of the Philosophers in Space podcast and the only person I want to be parsing bear discourse with. We discuss the recent dust up around the hypothetical "would you prefer to encounter a man or a bear in the woods". We discuss why people are having such different responses on the hypothetical and whether this is a particularly cursed discourse, or just normal level cursed discourse. Enjoy!

My guest this week is Ed Buckner, a secular organizer, former president of American Atheists. Ed is the author of the book In Freedom We Trust: An Atheist Guide to Religious Liberty , as well as the Substack blog Letters to a Free Country, where he recently posted a piece responding to my article “Biology is not Ethics” about the conflict around FFRF and Jerry Coyne's piece "Biology is not Bigotry". We discuss Ed's objections to my accusing Coyne of arguing for bigotry and discrimination, his refusal to use "they" as a singlar pronoun, and a variety of other topics related to trans-activism in secular spaces.

Trans Activism in Secular Spaces with Kat Grant 1:10:22

My guest this week is Kat Grant a Wisconsin based attorney, activist, legal educator, and author of the new blog TransingBoundaries, which focuses on the intersections of law, politics, religion, and queerness. Kat recently finished up an Equal Justice Works Fellowship at the Freedom From Religion Foundation, where they exclusively worked on the White Christian nationalist attack on LGBTQIA+ rights. Tragically and ironically, their fellowship was sort of capped off with a revealing debacle originating from an article they wrote for FFRF entitled “What is a woman?”. Along with discussing that debacle, we discuss their experiences working on trans issues in secular spaces more boadly and how their preference for restorative justice shapes their approach to social justice work.

Back to our normal format with returning guest Toby Buckle of the Political Philosophy Podcast. We discuss his recent Liberal Currents article "A Disease of Affluence", where he argues that MAGA is a result of lack of precarity rather than economic anxiety, combined with the human need to feel superior or dominant over others. We also discuss social dominance theory and my recent article on men and the meaning making crisis.

Episode five of our luckpilled series! We discuss the final chapter of my dissertation on pedagogy of luck. We work through the old pedagogy of luck and how it crashes the educational commons, before discussing how to do luckpilling generally and how to integrate it with three other progressive pedagogies: Mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and critical social justice pedagogy.

Episode four of my luckpilling series, where I'm once again joined by Sarah Tulien, executive director of the Creator Accountability Network. We discuss chapter three of my dissertation, which covers the politics of luck, particularly the way that meritocracy dominates modern politics and suppresses social progress by making people appear to deserve their lot in life. I also present an outline of the lucktopian society I think we should be moving towards and an argument for why it is not illiberal indoctrination to teach students that everything is luck.
