Last week, I did my second ever livestream, this time with my editor here at the Substack, Mark Sussman. We covered a lot of ground: self-censorship in both intimate and public settings, the golden age of MIT, the death of the influential economist Stanley Fischer, political correctness then and now, the use of the term “blood libel,” immigration, labor disputes and anti-trust in the tech industry, and class-based affirmative action.
And if you want more on self-censorship, don’t forget to pre-order my book, Self-Censorship, which drops next month.
This conversation is a bit more relaxed than last week’s. We recorded during cocktail hour, so Mark and I both had drinks in our hands. Livestreaming tends to be a looser format, with the participants following the flow of the conversation rather than rigorously adhering to a set of topics. That’s part of why I want to continue exploring it—I want to shake myself out of my regular rhythm.
So we’re going to keep at it! I’ll be back with Nikita this Thursday, June 19, going live on Substack and YouTube at 11:00 AM EDT. We’ll send out a reminder with links soon. Anyone can watch live, but only full subscribers will have access to the recording. We at The Glenn Show rely on the generosity and support of our subscribers. So if you’re already a subscriber, thank you for all you do. And if you’re not one, consider becoming one. It’s about the cost of one beer a month, and less than that if you purchase a full year’s subscription.
