#30: Civilized Discourse, Dignity, and Confronting Lies
In this episode, I offer some thoughts on civilized discourse in the current United States. Some accuse Trump of causing this, but the civilized discourse problem existed in the U.S. long before Trump became president. I discuss the importance of treating others with dignity, and when it’s acceptable to utilize ridicule and certain “name-calling.” And I end the episode with Star Trek: The Next Generation reference.

- 18:00 - Some insults are acceptable, particularly when calling out the hypocrites and the leaders who lead other astray
