University of Texas at Austin professor and moral philosopher Prof. J. Budziszewski discusses his new book, The Pandemic of Lunacy: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy, which examines 30 modern delusions and why they spread. He argues today’s irrationality is motivated, often contains a grain of truth, and metastasizes as one false premise leads to others, with social media acting as a force multiplier. The conversation covers relativism, abortion premises leading to infanticide arguments, radical individualism sliding toward authoritarianism, and debates over sex differences and the claim that men can be women.
Will all True Believers in their own “Lunacy” become angry when their “Lunacy” is subjected to being questioned?
