Explicit content warning

06/13/19 • 68 min

Ben Burgis joins us this week to teach you how to destroy your opponents with logic and reason — j/k. Instead, we’ll attempt a perhaps even more laughable aim, which is to convince you that the left needs to reclaim *actual* logic for itself rather than ceding this territory to rightwing pundits who haven’t the slightest clue what they’re talking about. Adam was initially skeptical but was converted after reading the book — maybe you can be converted, too.
