We talk with Dave Ramsey (daveramseymusic.com) about the potential social landmines of talking about opinion that break from received orthodoxy. Much of this episode refers to Sam Harris's podcast episode: Can we pull back from the brink? (https://samharris.org/podcasts/207-can-pull-back-brink), but our discussion should be robust enough to stand alone as we discuss these core issues.

We also talk about what the data disparities around police shootings of unarmed black men really says, and the cultural shifts after the George Floyd moment. Let us know what you think!
