Earlier this month, I appeared on the podcast Straight Ahead, hosted by Aryeh Tepper and Greg Thomas. You may remember Greg from his TGS appearance about a year ago, when he, John McWhorter, and I debated the prospect of “deracialization.” This appearance continues that debate. In the episode, we discuss transracial humanism, essentialism, the bias and development narratives, and the Jewish-American success story. This clip presents a few of my favorite segments of the conversation, but I highly recommend that everyone watch the whole thing—it’s a real debate, and it’s a lot of fun. And while you’re at it, follow Straight Ahead on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. They’re just getting started, and I’m excited to see where they’re headed.

A really good and heartfelt and civil discussion. In the end mortals can only know and do a limited amount over a brief time. Our works are dust and will all crumble in a few thousand years. So what is life and conscious existence, but a dream spoken by an idiot signifying nothing. At least Glenn gives rationality and truth a voice.
Wow, they got Wynton Marsalis for the second episode.
