[Before you read the episode description: Listeners in Toronto should check out these upcoming events! https://twitter.com/BenBurgis/status/1509997688162594820 ]
Ben Burgis and the GTAA Crew (this week featuring the Prodigal Producer Cale returning to sub for Current Producer Jake) are talk about the latest free speech controversy and Ben's article in Current Affairs about "whataboutism" and the anti-war Left being accused of being Putin apologists. Then Ben's interview with philosophy professor, popular YouTuber and popularizer of neo-Stoicism Gregory B. Sadler, released to patrons late last year, is unlocked as the main event. Gregory talks about subjects ranging from teaching philosophy in prison to the Stoic practice of "premeditatio malorum." It's very good stuff.
In a second substitution, the part of Jennifer Burgis (on her way to Texas for a family commitment) is played by philosophy professor Ryan Lake, who in return for his generosity with his time is subjected to having to watch a Ben Shapiro clip on Lake's specialty (free will and determinism) in the philosophy segment. Finally, Jason Myles from This is Revolution hang's out in the postgame for GTAA patrons.
