Hey, everybody. It's Tim Miller from the bulwark here. I wanted to jump on with a guy named

Alex Brunzini vendor. Is that your real name? That is my real name. That's an amazing name.

Alex Bronsini vendor.

Thank you. That's going to be good for you branding going forward as you try to build a personal

brand in our dystopia. He wrote for The New York Times this opinion essay at Harvard and elsewhere,

the new campus orthodoxy is even more stifling.

This is a topic that I would have been talking about with Kam Kasky on the old FYPod,

that unfortunately he abandoned me to run for Congress.

So I'm going to talk about it with the actual author instead. You're at Harvard? I am. Congratulations. That's really nice. Is that

how you introduce yourself usually to people? I try not to. Yeah. Yeah, well, we're all

really impressed. I want to go into it because, A, I thought it was really compelling the case you made with some of the anecdotes.

And B, it kind of speaks to something that I've been hearing about when I talk to Gen Z folks on campuses.

And I think is a good corrective on some of the things that I've been talking about because I'm increased, I am concerned and remain concerned about increasing

kind of gen Z, Gen Alpha, anti-Semitism and some of the stuff that you're seeing online,

some of the stuff you're seeing on campus.

Simultaneously to that, like there's another thing that's happening that was creating a backlash,

which is, I think, a lot of the stuff that you write about here.

So, well, you describe your own column and then we'll go into it from there.

Yeah, so in the piece, I argue that the American right has kind of repurposed many of the

methods of speech policing that we saw during the period of, during the woke period,

as I call it. Peak woke.

Um, roughly the 2014 to 2023 period.
