@nickgillespie nice job my friend on @thefp Friday thingy. As expected, witty, informed, erudite, and only slightly libertarianish.

Hey @JohnDonvan @intelligence2, I was wondering if you guys have considered doing a debate about the domination of Netflix and what sort of government policy could/should be implemented to make TV/streaming better.

This I believe ...
Open to Debate@OpentoDebateOrg

Real debate is disappearing. For 20 years, we’ve watched the space for genuine disagreement shrink— replaced by discourse that rewards emotional intensity over intellectual rigor. At Open to Debate, we are fighting back. We bring people with opposing views together to listen with intention, engage with evidence, and model what civil discourse should look like. Our work has never been more essential. This Giving Tuesday, stand with us and help defend real debate. Make a gift today: bit.ly/48rY9wh

Another excerpt from my conversation with @RobertRosenkranzBlog about the spark of an idea that led to the creation of @OpentoDebateOrg. Just last night, a landmark event for us: THREE debates in one go at @CFR_org in NYC. Phew! A marathon of what we do!

"We built a community here of people…who want to hear both sides.” @OpenToDebate founder @RosenkranzBlog on his ideological vision and goals for the organization. @JohnDonvan moderates. You can learn more about Open to Debate’s origin story in his new book, "The Stoic Capitalist.”

Here's an excerpt from my interview with @Rosenkranzblog, aka "The Stoic Capitalist," about his book of the same name. Full interview is out now.
Open to Debate@OpentoDebateOrg

“The obstacle was financial insecurity. The way was self-reliance.” @OpenToDebate’s founder @RosenkranzBlog shares how stoicism and ambition emerged from a childhood of financial insecurity in this new conversation with @JohnDonvan. This idea, along with other core Stoic principles that helped shape his ultimate successes, is the heart of his new book, "The Stoic Capitalist."

It's just good for the culture that people are still willing to debate, and face each other in an argument, and at the very least make a case in good faith. Also good to be acknowledged for it. Moderating #OpentoDebateOrg is some of the most important work of my career.

My longtime colleague and filmmaking partner (and co-author) @caren_zucker Zucker has published an essay I want you to read. I also want your kids to read it. It comes out of tragedy. It aims to reduce harm. ajc.com/opinion/opinio…

#autism It just takes understanding from everyone else -- that it's not so hard to have the back of someone who's different. "In A Different Key", a movie that helps. amazon.com/gp/video/detai…
