Liz Wolfe is gold

After hearing liz Wolfe on many platforms I had to search for her own platform to support. Here i am. It’s so hard to find a commenter like her these days. Im surrounded by hackery , hypocrisy, and authoritarianism. Good luck liz. Keep elevating 🗽🙌🏿

Def Lost Some Respect

After reading the 1 star reviews focusing on the Hughes/Balko debate, of course I had to listen. The negative reviews got it right. Hughes presents a clearly defined, logically rigorous argument. Wolfe and Balko are full of hot air. When Hughes defends his argument in a coherent way, Wolfe and Balko just pivot to another critique. There are a few notes that Hughes could take with some humility, but overall I totally grasp his thesis. Hughes is waaaay out of Balko and Wolfe’s intellectual league. May I recommend E.J. Lemmon’s Beginning Logic.

P.S. poor production and audio quality, but I appreciate Weissmueller’s preparedness and visual aids.

Disappointing

Too much interrupting and talking over each other. It makes it hard to listen. Listening to the Balko episode felt like a 3 on 1 debate..
Ill try another episode and see if its any better
