This is an audio version of Impossible Conversations: Peter Boghossian, Helen Pluckrose, James Lindsay & Letter.Wiki which was published on the Rebel Wisdom YouTube site on September 27th 2019. 


How can we begin to resolve our problems, if even our conversations about them keep breaking down? Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay have researched ninja-level conversation techniques from hostage negotiation and cult deprogramming for their new book, 'How To Have Impossible Conversations'. At the same time, a new competition has been launched on 'Letter.Wiki' to have difficult conversations across intellectual divides. We talk to the book's authors, Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay, the judge of the 'Impossible Conversations' competition, Helen Pluckrose, and the creators of the social media site Letter.Wiki, Clyde and Dayne Rathbone.
