Reason Bound

Recording from Tokyo, I have on guests to discuss social issues, politics, and what's happening in the world. It's not what people believe, but why they believe it that I find most interesting.

Astucious Aussie, Ben Holford, returns to Reason Bound to talk with Ryan about various controversies and how public attitudes have shaped the surrounding narratives. They discuss the concept of over-shaming having a backlash effect and if the level of "cancelling" makes others to be more or less likely inclined to apologize when they recognize they've offended someone in some way. Offense itself can be difficult to navigate as they discuss where lines of respect are reasonably drawn. What is the utility of digging up transgressions of years gone by if the person who transgressed doesn't even hold their antiquated attitudes present day? People and controversies discussed include Prince Harry, Lizzo, and CM Punk. This interview is an in depth discussion on all things related to bounds of reason, lines drawn for acceptable behavior, and ultimately achieving social cohesion.
