Francis and Konstantin are two professional comedians in London, England, whose recent guests include Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay, Douglas Murray, Coleman Hughes, and many others. They interviewed me on (humor-deficient) postmodernism, identity politics, cancel culture, how to fix education, and optimism about the future despite these dark times. Here’s the video. A rough transcription is coming soon.
“To undermine the false authority of an absurd proposition that offends reason, laughter can sometimes also be a suitable instrument. And laughter serves to confound the wicked and to make their foolishness evident.” (Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose)
