listened to this yesterday. Good stuff. They should check in with TNCR to find answers to some of their questions. Why did the left suddenly abandon support of free speech? I've neatly explained that through the frame of cultural conservatism, and the psychological types it appeals to. High disgust reaction, intuitive disgust-based morality, fully supportive of existential risk narratives. These are cultural conservatives, who will always be against free speech relative to the opposition. It just so happens that the poles have flipped between the left and right, when one speaks of "cultural conservatism" these days. But these ideas of mine have yet to appear in the public intellectual sphere. They will, soon enough. I refuse to write a book. The ideas will appear because they are true, and necessary.
