Hello friends, welcome back to the show.

My guest today is Michael Knowles.

He's a political commentator, a podcaster and an author,

and we are talking about the problem with political correctness.

Ostensibly, political correctness is the right thing to do

if you're a responsible human that is respectful of other people's emotions.

Encouraging people to be mindful and precise of the words that they use makes sense.

But demanding for tolerance becomes undermined when the people doing the demanding

are overbearing and intolerant.

It's kind of like punching people in the name of peace.

So something is obviously a miss.

Today, expect to learn why people who respect free speech

may need to restrict free speech, how political correctness delays a trap for everyone else,

where the Michael thinks were closer to a brave new world on 1984,

his thoughts on Stephen Crowder's situation, and much more.

At the moment, political correctness and what is an appropriate use of language,

they're probably one of the most common news stories that you're seeing being pushed online.

And we need to cut through the mess that has been left by a lot of deconstruction.

I don't know if Michael's proposed solution is workable,

but it's definitely better than the current situation where both sides aren't speaking.

Free speech absolutists and free speech deconstructionists simply aren't getting anywhere,

and something needs to change if we're not going to just spin our wheels and stay in the same
