Philosopher, Author, Intellectual Freedom
Greg Scorzo talks to philosopher Piers Benn about his recent book, Intellectual Freedom and the Culture Wars. In this part 1 of a two part podcast, Scorzo and Benn discuss issues that arise in this book, including freedom of speech, the tension between activism and free inquiry, whether enlightenment freedoms are a way for the powerful to subjugate the powerless, whether free speech is right wing, the definition of transphobia, the censoring of Germaine Greer, racism and Halloween costumes, the psychology of Donald Trump, whether the mainstream media is left-wing, and the problem of ideological fanaticism.

Also listen to recorded dialogues from Greg Scorzo's debut novel 'Love Before Covid,' - traumatic (sur)realism at it's best. An experimental and extreme collection of real-time dialogues, traversing a complex moral maze of how love is being impacted by gender politics in these polarised political times. Exploring the nature of love and drawing focus to the dark side of romance, procreation and sex, it deals unsparingly with unpredictable behaviour, abuse, depravity and forgiveness. To find out what healthy love could be, this book explores what it shouldn’t be. "Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other." - Carl Jung
