    Early attempts to describe the new phenomena are instructive, including my own short book Freedom From Speech (2014), the documentary ? (2015), & 's So You've Been Publicly Shamed (2015). 15/33

    It is no exaggeration to say I spent the early years of my life wondering "why the hell aren't people more blown away by the existence of narwhals!?" (I felt the same way about neutron stars 1960s Spider-Man cartoons & Robotech which seemed impossible to find on TV.)

    AND the audiobook is read by my co-author, ! I was rejected from narrating the audiobook by citing "astounding & previously unmatched lack of sexiness in Lukianoff's voice." Cruel, but fair., Audible, cruel but fair.

    I recommend reading "The Coddling of the American Mind" by Jonathan Haidt , Greg Lukianoff. There's an audiobook form too.

    just watched on Intelligent film-making that's hugely prescient now. What about a 2020 update? BTW did you know that UK SPAMALOT cut You Won't Succeed on Broadway If You Don't Have Any Jews number? I suspect Jews did not complain...

    While I really loved the first two season of season 3 has gotten just much too unrealistic for me. I mean are we really to believe that in the future the 2 top scientists in the world are FRENCH!? (JK! Don’t kill me Francophiles)

    If the COVID crisis has shown us one thing, it's how important the role of the audience is for a standup or sketch group to be funny.
