We at The Legion of Reason hope everyone is staying safe and not getting too antisocial. In this episode we talk about COVID-19 and how social justice has warped the mind about the development of vaccines with conspiracy theory; "Cancel culture" goes after Jeff Goldblum for daring to suggest Islam is not LGBTQ friendly. I guess the punishment (up to and including the death penalty) for simply being death penalty for the "crime" of being LGBTQ is just propaganda....Retired philosopher Hendrik van der Breggen attempts to school sociologist Dennis Hiebert on the "slippery slope" fallacy, and fails miserably. We correct him.
