Author of the Canceling of the American Mind Greg Lukianoff explains the current state of free speech in the United States. Greg Lukianoff, president of the @TheFIREorg discusses how free speech has evolved – from its induction into the United States Constitution, to its prevalence on modern American college campuses. But with cancel culture more relevant than ever, is free speech at risk? When, if ever, should speech be controlled? When are speech moderators in the wrong? And when should people in power choose not to speak at all? Lukianoff explains all this and more, in this interview with Freethink's Editor-in-chief, Robert Chapman-Smith. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Greg Lukianoff: Greg Lukianoff is an attorney, New York Times best-selling author, and the President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).

In this conversation, we're joined by Greg Lukianoff, the President of FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. As illiberal tendencies are on the rise among extreme factions of our democracy, it was refreshing to speak with Greg whose organization is on the front lines of protecting the basic freedoms outlined in the First Amendment. We discussed:Greg's own background and how he came to form his views on free speech;a benchmark Supreme Court case from the late 70s when the ACLU defended Nazi's right to march in Skokie, IL;the "bedrock principle" as well as the limitations of free speech;contemporary issues such as whether Donald Trump was within his rights on January 6th as well as whether protesters on college campuses shouting "from the river to the sea" at Jewish students are protected under the freedom of speech;and advice for leaders of organizations who are the targets of cancel culture mobs.Greg Lukianoff is President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, aka FIRE, and one of the country's most passionate defenders of free expression. He is an accomplished author of several books including Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate, The Coddling of the American Mind with Jonathan Haidt and his most recent book The Canceling of the American Mind with Rikki Schlott. He has also written on free speech issues on his Substack and for such outlets as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post, and was executive producer of the documentaries Can We Take a Joke? and Mighty Ira.

Generation Z is now entering the workforce, and free speech levels have never been so low in America. Coincidence? We think not. Legions of Gen Zers are bringing the totalitarian ideas they were spoon-fed in university — CRT, DEI, and other Neo-Marxist ideas — into the American mainstream. As a result, we are at a peak cancel culture moment. How did this happen, who is to blame, and most importantly, how do we close Pandora's box? Our guests — authors of a new book on cancel culture — suggest we cannot, but we can move forward and begin to right some of these wrongs. It starts with raising kids who aren't cancelers, keeping corporations out of the cult of cancellation, fixing K-12, and reforming higher education.Greg Lukianoff is the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and one of the country's most passionate defenders of free expression. Together with Rikki Schlott, he is the author of The Canceling of the American Mind. He has written on free speech issues in the nation's top newspapers, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, and was executive producer of the documentaries Can We Take a Joke? and Mighty Ira. Lukianoff earned his undergraduate degree from American University and his law degree from Stanford.Rikki Schlott is a New York City-based journalist and political commentator. She is a research fellow at FIRE, host of the Lost Debate podcast, a columnist at the New York Post, and a regular contributor to numerous publications and television programs. Her commentary focuses on free speech, campus culture, civil liberties, and youth issues from a Generation Z perspective.Download the transcript here.Subscribe to the WTH substack here.Check out Greg and Rikki's book here.

3.2.23What Happens Next?Is Food Insecurity Getting Worse? | 77 Have you noticed your grocery bill rising lately? Get used to it. When we think of “food insecurity”, many of us think of extreme poverty in the global south, not of Australia and other first-world countries. Nevertheless, food insecurity is a serious issue here – and one that will only continue to grow. Climate change brings with it warmer temperatures and rising sea levels that threaten staple crops, and an increase in natural disasters that pressure supply chains already challenged by global events such as the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. This combination is creating a perfect storm, reducing access to reliable food sources even for the most privileged among us. Who's facing food insecurity? How will we feed more people than ever on an ever-warming planet? And what can we do to help? Season 7 of Monash University's podcast, “What Happens Next?”, returns from hiatus with an investigation into food security. Host Dr Susan Carland's expert guests include dietitians Dr Sue Kleve and Liza Barbour, plant scientist Professor Ros Gleadow, and Ian Carson AM, a Monash alumnus and co-founder of food rescue organisation SecondBite.

How do efforts to close off film festivals keep you from accessing independent voices and dissent? Ted Balaker, the producer of films such as Little Pink House and Can We Take a Joke?, discusses the insidious ways in which gatekeeping at Sundance and other film festivals has created a "uniculture." Ted is working on his latest documentary, The Coddling of the American Mind, and has concerns as an independent filmmaker over whether wokery and cancel culture has all but eliminated any competing points of view from artistic representation. We also talk about Ted's new Substack, Shiny Herd.

Often the only person of color in her childhood classrooms, stand-up comedian Karith Foster spends a lot of her time speaking at universities such as Stanford and Oberlin about taboo subjects in a constructive way. She hates labels and the boxes they can put us in, which is why her take on diversity training actually focusses on “INversity” – meaning inclusion and introspection – mixed with a healthy dose of humor. In this episode, Karith talks about what it was like to transform a hostile audience in a jam-packed hall at Oberlin into one welcoming of different perspectives. We also discuss her work as an on-air radio personality on the controversial Don Imus In the Morning show following his comments about the women’s basketball team at Rutgers University and her appearance in the documentary “Can We Take a Joke?,” which garnered support from strange bedfellows such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Charles Koch Institute. Karith believes firmly that people from across the political spectrum have good ideas, and the fact that “just because you are not on that side does not mean you shouldn’t think it’s a good idea too” is “insanity.” Unsurprisingly, in Karith’s words, she often feels “like a political alien.” We hope she felt right at home here at Sanity!

Scott and Ryan have been composing music together in the spirit of liberty since 2015. I was lucky enough to meet them along the way in my journey, and have a great respect for artists that realize the need for a touch of freedom in the message. It can be so powerful, as evidenced by Scott and Ryan’s work. We get into their journey, some of the challenges along the way for their political views, and some stories of success. There have been a few notable releases we recommend, so please look in the bio below. About the Guests: Scott McRae and Ryan Rapsys founded Music for Liberty in 2015 in order to elevate the quality of music used in media focused around ideas of human liberty. Since then, they have scored the feature film Little Pink House (about the Kelo vs. New London Supreme Court Case) for which they received the award for Best Score at the 2017 Anthem Film Festival, the documentary Can We Take a Joke? (which explores the intersection of comedy, free speech and outrage culture), and have provided music for media from organizations such as the Institute for Justice, Smock Media, The Atlas Society, Taliesin Nexus, Moving Picture Institute and others. Their recent endeavor, the Composing Freedom Initiative, has two aims: 1) educate liberty-minded filmmakers about how to more effectively use music in their projects and 2) raise funds to augment the music budgets of media that celebrates human freedom and individualism. Individually, they have each worked extensively in the entertainment industry. Scott has contributed his musical skills and knowledge to over 100 films and television shows, including Crazy Rich Asians, Fences, the Fast and Furious franchise, The Pursuit of Happyness, Rush Hour 3, the Final Destination franchise, and Cold Mountain. He founded and runs Janen Music, which provides quality music preparation services and rents music to orchestras for live performance. He co-produced two Christmas albums, and his score for The Box was nominated for Best Score at the Madrid Film Festival in 2014. For nearly two decades, Ryan has composed music for numerous feature films, short films, documentaries, theatrical productions and commercial projects. His score for the short film Stay won Best Original Score at the Los Angeles Cinema Festival of Hollywood in 2016. He’s also released electronic music under the aliases Transistorface, Microquasar and Pineriver. He’s composed classical music, with concert performances by small ensembles up to full orchestra. His production music has been used in hundreds of television shows, including Dateline NBC and The Today Show. He owns and operates Total Music Metadata, a music service business which catalogs, edits and optimizes music tracks for licensing for music libraries and organizations, with clients including top trailer music houses as well as the in-house music library for Discovery Communications. He’s also served as a music supervisor and music editor for numerous projects.

Today we’re doing something a little bit different. We’re going to keep the conversation in-house, and talk with Ted Balaker, the co-founder of Korchula Productions. You’ve heard us talk a lot about our feature documentary Can We Take a Joke?, and we thought that for this final episode of our first season, we’d give you a little behind-the-scenes look at the making of the documentary and, more pertinent to the theme of this podcast, the distribution plan and the execution of that plan. Ted was the director of this film, and we just thought hearing that about that experience in our own words might be useful to those of you out there who are starting or even in the middle of your own projects. Remember, you can keep track of all Korchula’s latest projects, including the Can We Take a Joke, by following us on Twitter and Facebook and at Korchula Productions dot com.

Today we’re talking to Noor Ahmed, a producer’s representative at at the entertainment law firm READER AND (FIGE) LLP. His firm has been counsel on such films as Twilight, Don Jon, Thank You for Smoking, and Korchula’s very own Can We Take a Joke. In this episode, you’ll learn, first of all, what a producer rep is, what value they can add if you bring them in early on in the development process, and how much you should expect to pay them. Noor also gives us his read of the market, which genres are hot commodities right now and which ones are just oversaturating the indie market or simply don’t make much money. And we’ll also touch on the question that haunts indie filmmakers: Should I submit to festivals? How many, and when can I stop and just focus on getting my movie to a general audience. You can keep track of all Korchula’s latest projects like the feature narrative Little Pink House by following us on Twitter and Facebook and at Korchula Productions.com. You’ll also find our free Distribution Guide, where we share in-depth advice from experts across the industry about how to distribute a film, which you can download as a PDF at freemindsfilm.com.

Today we’re talking with Griffin Gmelich, Senior Vice President of Sales and Business Development at Gravitas Ventures, one of North America’s largest distributors of independent films. Griffin joined Gravitas following three years at Hulu where he led film content acquisitions. Prior to Hulu, Griffin was the Head of Domestic Sales for Entertainment One, Vice President of Sales for Universal-Vivendi and held several positions at Warner Home Video in sales and communications. In this episode, you’ll learn from a distribution veteran what to look for in a distributor and, perhaps even more importantly, what distributors are looking for in your film when they decide whether or not to acquire it. You’ll learn about the importance of artwork to a film’s marketability. And you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at Gravitas Ventures and Hulu and a glimpse at what the future of distribution might look like. We hope you find our talk Griffin Gmelich informative and helpful as you plan your next movie, web series, or documentary.

The Republicans and Democrats held their conventions and the country marches toward the presidential election. On this episode of Talkenomics, Karith Foster is back for another episode of Shapiro and Foster Timely Topics. Nothing is off base or out of bounds as comedian Foster explains why she doesn't trust Hillary Clinton, what bothers her about Donald Trump and why we all must watch her at home natural birth video. What is most revealing is when Foster shares a deeply emotional experience she had while pregnant, a truth she shares with Adam while talking about Black Lives Matter. You'll be moved to tears. But prepare to laugh too as Foster tackles race in America, the premier of the documentary Can We Take a Joke and the icky green vegetable juice she tried to get Adam to drink.
