“A delightfully fresh and different take on news, politics, and Taylor Swift. It's great to hear fellow young people weighing in on the political and societial issues that will define our future.
As a young Libertarian myself, I particularly love Gillian's take aways from her Libertarianism courses, and her explanation of where the philosophy comes from in the context of multiple issues, rather than the usual approach of writing off anyone with that viewpoint off as a borderline anarchist. While I do not agree with every stance of Gillian's and Quinns, I am quite a fan of how clearly and directly they convey their opinions, with a little dash of fun pop culture in every episode as well.
A question I have is this: In previous podcasts, you reacted to facebook cracking down on fake news by saying "if only it happened earlier" and other such sentiments. To me that seems like encouraging censorship for the sake of altering the outcome of an election. Not everything is categorically true or false, and censorship of this manner seems arbitrary and dangerous, would you agree? Along the same lines, what are your thoughts on so called "filter bubbles"? That is to say the notion that the algorithms on social media sites generally show you only opinions you share, creating a personalized echo chamber for everyone, and widening cultural divides.”
