**Conversations with Peter Boghossian**

We stand transparent about our motivations: we are champions of liberal values and Enlightenment Rationalism. Reason & liberty are paramount-whether threatened by tyranny in places like China or elsewhere-because they are essential to human dignity and prosperity. The Enlightenment, with it’s emphasis on error-correction, is the philosophical project that has cultivated the wealth & freedom of the modern world. The West has been a custodian of this tradition of criticism, producing societies full rapid, stable, and genuine progress. The clearer people become on this connection, the more they’ll recognize that these principles are what enable our civilization to be freer, safer, and more prosperous. This is the set of ideas we are committed to spreading.~ Reid Nicewonder

Mia Hughes Explains How No One Is Born Transgender Mar 21, 2025

Show notes

How did a group of fringe activists at WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) manage to dupe the entire international medical establishment? That's the question I posed to Mia Hughes, an Ottawa-based British journalist and director of Genspect Canada.

Mia is also the world's leading expert in this subject and author of The WPATH Files report. The report exposed widespread, ghastly medical mistreatment of children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults in the ideologically captured field of "gender-affirming care".

Gender Trouble with Travis Brown Feb 28, 2025

Taiwan, China, and the Fight for Democracy Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

While in Taiwan, I sat down with Sona Eyambe from the Good Bike Mob YouTube channel to discuss cultural and political issues. Sona, originally from Texas, and I compared life in Taiwan to life in America.

One striking difference is the pristine streets, with people carrying their own trash—remarkable, considering there are no trash bins in sight. In fact, the first night we were there we wandered around looking for trash. After 30 minutes, we saw some tissues in a gutter. We stood around and looked at them, marveling.

Sona and I discussed the Taiwanese taking immense pride in their unique identity, which remains resilient despite the ever-present threat from China. He provides numerous example of that pride and how it manifests in daily life.
