Sophia, Davin, and V embark on the first episode of a two part
interview with Aly Wane, an immigrants' rights activist, about his history
with the work, his thoughts about our current moment, how we got
there, and where we can go next. The "post-truth" moment is
discussed, and how that informs the specific atrocities that we're all
seeing laid out before us right now, in May

Sophia, V, and Davin interview David Livingstone Smith, a professor of
philosophy at the University of New England. The crew take a deep
dive with Professor Smith into his area of expertise - dehumanization.
They talk about how he got started studying dehumanization, how it
arises, how it leads to genocides and other atrocities, and how it relates
to our ongoing epistemic crisis (or, as we like to call it, "our sense of
collective reality crumbling"). This is an eye-opening interview about a
topic that everyone has heard of, but not enough people study, and it
gives some language for how to talk about things happening right now.

Sophia and V are once again schooled by Davin on the court...the
actual court, though, and not physically on it, and really it's other people
that got schooled...but you get it! They talk about how a certain UConn
athlete (!!!) accidentally revealed the truth of how student athletes were
compensated (or not), and how things have changed since then. The
connection between this kind of exploitation and past exploitations is
shown clearly for the audience, and everyone is left wondering how we
fix something so monumentally broken.
