On this week’s episode of The Current Thing I am joined by Professor Eric Kaufmann to discuss his new book, Taboo: How Making Race Sacred Produced a Cultural Revolution.
Topics covered include:
-Why liberals are more to blame for woke than the radical left
-The problem of 'cultural socialism'
-Why emotional taboos are the real source of woke
-How race became a 'sacred' category, and why we need to change that
-The future of free speech
-How policy must be used to create a 'resilient, post-woke society'
and loads more!
The full episode is below, and is only available on this site. So sign up for just £5 a month to watch this and all our other episodes, and help me keep the show going, pay our producers, and generally fight this culture war thing. Thanks!
