Yeah, I mean, I think you must be aware that the truth has been under assault for quite some time now. Part of the post-structuralist frame is that there is no such thing as truth, therefore everything is subjective and political. And it has adulterated everything. This is a disgusting philosophy.

Ali Stuckey, the book, the podcast is relatable. The book is Toxic Empathy. We're going to take a little break and then we'll come back and finish the conversation.
