Here's a short clip from the Argument Ninja Dojo community video chat meeting that we had on Nov 23. This is toward the end of the meeting. Here I'm offering a book recommendation.

In this meeting we covered a number of topics relating to Peter Boghossian's essay "Welcome to Culture War 2.0: The Great Realignment", and my 33 minute video commentary on it:

The video recordings are available in the Dojo membership site.

Topics included:
- enlightenment attitudes toward reason and knowledge
- Boghossian's involvement in criticism of postmodern "critical theory" approaches in academia; the hoax papers
- earlier versions of these debates: the "science wars" of the 1990s; the Sokal hoax
- does a defense of science require a defense of "scientific realism"?
