Interview with Helen Lewis on ideology, religion, and guru dynamics (Audio) *UNEDITED*

Hey everyone,

Another advance interview for you to enjoy. This one travels widely and is unavoidably culture war related but hope you enjoy it.

Helen is a journalist who has focused on politics and recently made a BBC audio documentary and published an article for the Atlantic considering whether social justice was a religion. Online this led to the predictable polarised response and general exasperation that such comparisons had been done to death and there was nothing left to say. But I think this interview helps to clarify some of the points Helen wanted to raise and illustrates that there is points worth discussing here.

We also do get into both the Jordan Peterson interview and the Gender Critical / Trans controversies, but they aren’t the focus of the episode.

Anyway, as always interested in any and all feedback!

Cheers

We need to get it updated but it's usually that vs. finish editing a new episode.

Are you guys no longer doing the RSS feed? Listening on Patreon is so bad.

Anonymous ethicist, not a serial killer at all, just asking questions.

The previous "Helen is a journalist..." seems to have morphed into "Heather is a journalist" :) . At least you're not cutting and pasting I guess (why re-type it all?), but intrigued as to which Heather you were thinking off when this Freudian typo inserted itself into the text :D

I enjoyed the interview and I think it is worth more than one listen.

It might be out this Friday. Depending on how recording and editing go. Currently, we have about 50% recorded.
