Encounter #2 — Cancel Culture, the Golden Rule, and Psychedelics

In this episode of The Bullshit Artists, Jack begins the conversation by pressing Rory on his use of the ideological label "anarcho-communist." Then, the interlocutors turn to a long, winding discussion of what Rory had previously called the 'epistemic divide' in America, which includes aspects of 'cancel culture' and the #MeToo movement. From there, the pair pivot to some ruminations on 'the Golden Rule,' and conclude by linking that moral precept to the usage and phenomenology of psychedelics, including those drugs' potential political and psychological effects.
