I normally don't listen to podcasts - they take a lot of time where I can get more information more quickly by reading. But I listened to this because I had high hopes about this, that some on the Left have open minds.

But these guys think the Right are the enemy:

The right is "closer to the levers of power"

The right wrongly thinks the NY Times is woke and out to get them

The right 'punished Disney for having gay characters'

One speaker was distressed that his book on racism originally only embraced by conservatives

Critical race theory isn't being taught in schools

The right doesn't care about black crime victims with 27 minutes left

Sorry, the Right isn't the enemy. Much of the above is nonsense.

There is still much that is good to hear. But until the Left is ready to deal with the Right on even terms and not as demons, I remain very pessimistic about the ability of our society to come back together.
