Today, we'll discuss the growing crime of sexstortion.

What is it and why you should be aware of it?

Then we may be living through the period where there are more people alive than there ever will be.

We'll tackle the debate around underpopulation.

Then we'll close out with some listener voicemails, all of this and more on The Lost Debate, a show for

politically collectives.

Hello, everybody. I'm Robbie Gupta. And I'm Ricky Schlaught. Well, Ricky, big news in the New

York Times. Yes, indeed. Tell us about it. My book, The Canceling of the American Mind, is now out next month, which is crazy, October 17th.

And we made The Times' 33 nonfiction books to read this fall, which was pretty cool to see my name in the Times.

That's a first for sure.

Not that I'm really a regular Times reader,

but I admit that it still got a little bit excited. No, I'm saying, I'm saying. You can't dig

them if they're giving you a shout out. No, I'm saying. I'm fully admitting that it

excited me despite the fact that I might have thought otherwise. But it was very cool. So please, anyone who's interested in the book,

I've considered pre-ordering it. I also did the audio book so you can hear my lovely voice

read eight and a half hours of mental culture horror stories. That was awful. And I also made

the mistake of doing it while working full timetime and during the weekends in the summer.

So I was like, what happened to the summer? Where did it go?

Well, I spent it locked in the bunker.

But I brought my cat one day, which was kind of fun.

She helped with the audio engineering front.

Anyways, so pre-order. It's on Amazon.
