So, Brian, tell our audience, and tell me, what is truth?
Well, it is somehow bound up with democracy, Terri.
Great! And, how do we know what is true in a democracy?
The best guarantees of truth are free speech and expression, and especially a free press, Terri.
Well what about racism, sexism, communism, fascism, etc?
They should be free speech, expression, and press too.
Well then why aren't they?
We have equalitarian views that are anti democratic.
So how do we know what is true in a democracy?
We don't, Terri. We don't.
Thanks, Brian, for being here today.
Thanks for having me, Terri!
