You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to atheistically speaking episode 156 with your host Thomas Smith.

We are going to continue with cognitive distance

and just as a reminder this episode is quite long because it's pretty much two episodes.

Just want to make sure you got your bang for your buck with the guys because Tom and Cecil are great and I love them.

So let's just get back to that shall we?

All right now we're going to move on. We're going to smooth transition. We'll just

start like this will be this will be episode two. Hey everybody. We're back.

After getting cancelled. So I got Tom and Cecil here and now we're going to do a real show.

Here's the real show we're going to do.

Recently, there was a big stir.

There was a gigantic, one of the biggest I would say Twitter kind of social justice meltdowns that we've had in a while and it involved this

guy Tim Hunt and the reason I wanted to talk to you guys about Tim Hunt was I there's so many bigger themes like obviously just the minutia of like do we care whether this guy is a sexist or not like that's not terribly interesting but everything around it is very interesting, I think, because there are all kinds of themes going on. There's free speech themes. There's themes of the way we just can sometimes just ruin people's entire reputations on Twitter.

Maybe they deserved it, maybe they didn't, like regardless.

And I know that one guy, who's the guy who just wrote a book about that?

Do you guys know offhand or... I haven't heard of it no but I read it though that sounds like an interesting book

jjjjepepepre

uh... how do you spell that no guys, guys, it's jeep-der-per-per.

Hold on, I'll have this, I'm going to look it up real quick because I, if you do, if you were interested,

because is that a G or a J to start this on? If you were interested.

Because is that a G or a J to start this all out?

Yeah, brper-dip, oh, so you've been,

oh, it's John Ronson, I think.
