John McWhorter and I are back once again to answer questions from our Substack subscribers. Let’s get into it. BB asks what we think of Steven A. Smith’s political commentary. Russell Harvey wants to know what the role of debate is in our society, and whether a debate has ever changed our minds on any substantial issues. Stan asks why college-educated white women support “wokeness” at such high rates. Jason asks whether we’ve ever had intellectual discussions with AI tools. Michael asks John for his opinion of Zohran Mamdani’s first six months as New York City mayor. Robert Redd asks how much damage Trump has done to conservatives’ image, and is it their responsibility to repair that damage. And finally, Max asks if we’ve engaged with any arguments from natural theology, and whether we have intellectual—rather than spiritual—accounts of our own beliefs about the existence or non-existence of God.
