This week, Scott & Sean discuss:

  • Artificial Intelligence and Truth: Discussion on how AI, through deep fakes and misinformation, challenges our ability to discern truth, potentially leading to an era of distrust. 
  • Study on Gender Dysphoria: A Finnish study finding that gender dysphoria does not increase suicide risk and that gender-affirming care does not decrease it, challenging current narratives around transgender care.
  • Gen X and Diversity: An analysis of generational perspectives on diversity, noting that Gen X's experiences could offer a balanced view on racial and ideological diversity.
