Conceptual Truths w/ Mark Reiff

  • Summary

  • Joined by guest host Mark Reiff (42:38), a political philosopher at UC Davis, Adam and Mark ponder the potential of Taylor Swift fans to thwart the rise of anti-establishment politicians, particular those fond of leather jackets and chainsaws, explore within the domain of political perfectionism, and address the growing belief that political violence is increasingly seen as the answer to the woes faced by the US.

    First, Adam and Mark dissect the reactions of Javier Milei election as Argentina president and how viral campaigns by Swifties and BTS Army to stop his ascent, could foster unique cultural connection (06:31).

    Then, they respond to the release of startling poll numbers indicating a growing willingness among US citizens to embrace political violence, and why anger is frequently becoming an initial resort (59:46).

    Tune in now and enjoy the type of conversations you wish you had around the workplace water cooler!
