A lot has been written about the Rogan-Murray-Smith interview/debate already. On SN, see previous posts #943891 and #942073
This analysis stands out to me, which is why I'm sharing it again here. I found it was quite neutral, it avoids taking sides, but instead, focuses on two key points which I felt were underexplored, or not adequately discussed in the original conversation: the question of expertise—what is an expert?—and how to combat online misinformation.
Molyneux is still around! Haven't heard from him in years
He is, yes, just one house across the street, on locals.com, as he sometimes jokingly says.
His twitter account was reinstated after the Elon acquisition, but he refuses to get back on it.
He's now focusing exclusively on philosophy, no more politics or current affairs, or when he does, he will provide a philosophical analysis, which I very often find original.
That's nice to hear. When I was originally listening to Molyneux he never really talked about modern politics.
Yes, he got into politics in 2015-2016, and was one of the most influential pro Trump alt voices on the internet... Until he got shadow banned, then deplatformed from almost everywhere on social media, lol.
Saw this just now, from Sp!ked:
Lots of people having lots of opinions
