Julia invites philosopher and blogger Dan Fincke onto the show, inspired by a productive disagreement they had on Facebook. Their topic in this episode: civility in public discourse. Do atheists and skeptics have a responsibility to be civil when expressing disagreement, and does that responsibility vary depending on who their target is? Is there a legitimate role for offensive satire? And might there be downsides to civility? Dan and Julia also revisit the subject of their original disagreement: the recent NECSS decision to rescind Richard Dawkins' speaking invitation, on account of a video he tweeted which compared feminists to Islamists. Dan and Julia attempt to put the Dawkins case study in the broader context of the civility debate, asking questions like: What makes something offensive, and can someone be *unjustifiably* offended?

Episode 8: Dan Fincke (Part 2) In the second part of our conversation (Part 1 here), Dan walks us through his period of experimentation in starting an online teaching business, and how he learned to think like an entrepreneur and business person. We end by diving into his brilliant interpretation of the Star Wars saga, and how Nietzsche can help us make sense of The Last Jedi.
Dan Fincke is a “Rogue” par excellence. An expert in ethics and the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, he runs an online teaching business and offers philosophical counseling from his home in France. Of all the people I met in graduate school–including myself–Dan Fincke is the one who most deserves the title “real philosopher.” His personal … Continue reading "Episode #7: Dan Fincke (Part 1)"
Originally aired Thursday, April 9th, 2015, Hour 1 — GUEST: Dan Fincke, Ph.D., atheist ethics philosopher, blogger, and professor who teaches his own online classes, joins Jesse for the fourth and final(?) time. At the time of this interview, he fell in love and is moving to France. He's meeting her in-person for the first time in New York. Jesse warns him to watch out for men dressed up in drag trying to trick him — transgenders or transvestites. Dan clarifies the difference between drag queens and others. They go on to talk about atheists and other religions being a protected class. At one point Jesse calls out liberals, feminists, and radical homosexuals who try to use blacks' experience and the "Civil Rights Movement" to justify their hatred of men, perversion, and godlessness. Gays can overcome their issues. Abnormal lifestyle people try to impose on Christians. Dan accuses Jesse of being against "freedom." Dan starts complaining Jesse's giving him a speech, gets agitated, and tries to talk over Jesse who puts him on hold. Jesse keeps telling him to calm down, that he doesn't rule the show. Clips credit: Fox & Friends with guest J. Christian Adams talking about the angry Freedom From Religion Foundation activist group that are hostile toward people of faith. Jesse asks Dan if it's ethical to discriminate? "No, it's not." Do you discriminate? Dan clarifies about appropriate discrimination with "relevant factors." Jesse talks about how these people impose on Christians and has to keep muting Dan, until Dan gets frustrated and hangs up. Jesse plays the "Chicken Song"!
