Baroness Claire Fox Talks Monarchy, Democracy, & Liberty | Spectrum Street Epistemology

Peter Boghossian

In this video, Baroness Claire Fox and Peter touch upon various topics like the impact of scientism on political discourse, the interpretation of reason leading to technocratic approaches, and the role of social media in liberal democracy. They discuss the risks of echo chambers within the anti-woke movement and the erosion of public trust in institutions, drawing parallels between the US and the UK. Baroness Claire Fox is the founder and director of the Academy of Ideas, a think tank promoting intellectual freedom, research, and debate. Claire is also a non-affiliated member of the British House of Lords, although she believes the House is an un-democratic chamber and should be abolished. She uses her position to raise awareness about free speech, censorship, and civil debate. She describes herself as a “left-leaning free speecher" and has been canceled and harassed by leftist activists for her gender-critical views. “I STILL Find That Offensive” by Claire Fox: https://www.amazon.com/STILL-Find-That-Offensive-Provocations-ebook/dp/B07C35FGV4 Academy of Ideas https://academyofideas.org.uk/ Claire’s website: http://clairefox.org.uk/ Substack: https://clairefox.substack.com/ X: https://twitter.com/Fox_Claire Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:52 What's a baroness? 9:40 Claims about liberal democracy 21:10 Claims about capitalism 24:40 Claims about Artificial Intelligence 30:30 Claims about religion/hope 40:00 Claims about reason 45:55 Claims about the House of Lords 50:55 Claims about social media 56:05 Claire's questions for Peter ⸺SUPPORT MY WORK⸺ Newsletter | https://boghossian.substack.com/ Donate | https://www.nationalprogressalliance.org/donate/ ⸺LINKS⸺ Podcast: "Conversations with Peter Boghossian": https://pod.link/1650150225 Website | https://peterboghossian.com/ National Progress Alliance | https://www.nationalprogressalliance.org/ Resignation Letter | https://peterboghossian.com/my-resignation-letter ⸺BOOKS⸺ “How To Have Impossible Conversations” | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738285323/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_7DPKY2S21SSNAV8PCBW3_0 “A Manual For Creating Atheists” | https://www.amazon.com/Manual-Creating-Atheists-Peter-Boghossian/dp/1939578094/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1664805100&sr=1-2 ⸺SOCIAL MEDIA⸺ Twitter | https://twitter.com/peterboghossian Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/peter.boghossian/ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@peterboghossian All Socials | https://linktr.ee/peterboghossian __________ #democracy #liberty #streetepistemology #thoughtexperiment #peterboghossian https://youtu.be/dBA2qMUKnKE
