Show Notes

On this "crossover" episode, Adam and economist Bob Murphy show some examples of speech and arguments being blocked, shouted down, or censored. Does this approach work?

00:00 — Intro. In which, Bob makes a very unfortunate Freudian slip.

02:17 — Daryll Cooper of the Martyrmade podcast on JRE sparked some controversy.

25:14 — It's very common to try to shut down dissent. Why do we do it? Is it useful in any way?

34:25 — Bob gets blocked by Alex Nowrasteh

42:17 — The way Bob handles Modern Monetary Theory arguments is instructive.

45:20 — Adam has a confession to make about the moon landing controversy.

48:38 — How should we feel about "giving a platform" to bad arguments or arguers?

52:36 — Jeremy Kauffman and race and metrics of demonstrating academic proficiency.

57:04 — Outro. Thanks for watching Haman Nature!
