Thanks for an excellent conversation
I respect @tparsi and where he's coming from on these questions. We have a disagreement on whether American power can be redeemed. We hashed it out on the @disagreementHQ podcast.
Enjoy :)

I learned so much. Appreciate it!
One of my most memorable coaching sessions of the year was public (by consent, of course)! Here I coach Larissa Phillips of The Free Press on how to have a conversation with a friend around differences related to gender! @alexgrodd podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Thanks @IanVRowe and @StefanLallinger for the highly compelling and productive disagreement.
Engaging in juicy debate across differences remains one of life’s non-guilty pleasures.
That why it was great to nerd out with @alexgrodd and @StefanLallinger on the The Disagreement videocast as we - agreeably - hashed out our disagreements on the worth of selective high schools, expressed the joint frustration of underrepresented groups, explored the nuanced alternatives for how we each would rectify the situation and me of course relishing convincing Stefan to move to my position :-)
Stefan and I steelmanning each other’s argument at the end of the discussion is great (I.e. the juice is worth the squeeze).
Thanks for the opportunity for true civil discourse.

Thanks so much for coming on! Really excited to see how things progress.
I was on the Disagreement yesterday, learning from @bobbordone and @alexgrodd how to have more productive conversation with friends who don't share your political views.
My wifi got wonky so I left my office for the living room, where my signal is better, leaving me wide open for my wizened, gnarly, almost-18 yo cat to join us.
I was trying to gently push her to lie down so she wasn't snorting and rasping into the camera, not even realizing this much of her was visible...
Eh the perils of live-streaming.
A fun and helpful conversation though!

Is Trump's war on the Ivy League good for the Jews? I will be having a spirited disagreement with @ishapiro of the @ManhattanInst tomorrow, Wednesday, at 3PM EST.
I will be making the case that Trump's campus policies have been harmful across the board, including for the Jews.
We will cover the following questions:
- Is Anti-Zionism Anti-Semitism?
- Is Trump's feud with Harvard combating or exacerbating Anti-Semitism?
- Do campus deportations have a chilling effect on speech?
Come join us and ask questions!

We just released one of the most important episodes of The Disagreement podcast (@disagreementHQ) between @BriannaWu and Dr. Marci Bowers, two of the leading trans advocates in the country and beyond.
It's a highly spirited and often quite contentious debate between competing visions for the future of the trans rights movement. We focus much of the conversation around gender-affirming care for minors. While this has become a deeply political issue, at a fundamental level it's about providing quality health care to young people.
In the current climate, conversations like this are exceedingly rare. I'm deeply grateful to Brianna and Marci for their willingness to come together and engage in this highly consequential dialogue.
This Thursday, I'm excited to release a highly spirited episode of The Disagreement podcast (@disagreementHQ ) between Marci Bowers and @BriannaWu, two of the most important trans advocates in the country with very different visions for the future of the trans rights movement.
Conversations like this are not easy. They almost never happen. So I'm deeply grateful to Brianna and Marci for their willingness to engage in this critical dialogue.
Excited to go live with @ZaidJilani this afternoon at 4:30EST to talk about The Telepathy Tapes and related Autism controversies. Zaid has done some of the best journalism on these topics. Join us and bring questions!

This is a different kind of conversation on trans athletes and elite sports. Two international experts have a good-faith, evidence-based disagreement on the ethics of inclusion.
