Coleman Hughes is my favorite speaker/voice right now. Alex O’Conner and Brad Polumbo are also doing great work. Although they focus on different subjects.
Excellent interview! Hughes careful/methodical/full context analysis and clear/concise integration/framing sets him apart as an exceptionally rationality based thinker. Unfortunately, humans are evolutionarily inclined to utilize the primitive analysis tools of intuition/emotion, instead of the still unnatural deep/focused rationality required for evaluating complex problems of our evolutionary blink of an eye modern society. Hughes sets a good example for doing the intellectual hard work of full rational analysis instead of accepting the typical, taken for granted, and often faulty, intuition based premises that so predominate. (An infuriating act to those inclined to belief in the inherent irrefutability of intuitive/emotionalist premises.) I look forward to/hope he expands his focus to a broader range of issues ongoing! As for the post interview discussions ...I'd suggest that some societal intuitive premises worth deep rational analysis involve the ideas of "equality" and socially engineering "outcomes". Thomas Sowell and Yaron Brook have good contrarian work on these ideas.
Really good conversation, and nicely balanced interview. You definitely should have told him about the breakup, I'm sure he'd have had fun responding to that.
Coleman fails to consider the effects of racial prejudice on those individuals in various racial classes. The disadvantages of racism is often midigated by the privilege gain from class. Coleman cannot explain why racial disparity still exist even with affirmative action program of the past. He seems to put the burden on those who are affected by it the most.

I regret not mentioning it! Glad you enjoyed the conversation. - Emma
