A philosopher moderated a public debate on a college campus on the question of should trans women be allowed to compete in women's sports. The debate quickly escalated into chaos as the supporting camp became unruly, even going as far as to leveling personal attacks, and exposing their own bigotry and hypocrisy.

"In early May, my team explored the following claim with students: "Trans women should be able to compete in women’s sports.” After about 25 minutes of discussion, one student asked, “What’s the goal of this?”
The idea of examining beliefs seemed utterly foreign to her. Universities have a responsibility to provide students with tools to think through claims and exchange in fruitful inquiry. They are failing.?
Normally I don’t pay much attention to fringe idiots, but I think this is worth bringing attention to because it’s a miniature version of the bigotry that has taken over the public as a whole. Cancel culture is the direct result of this bigoted, anti-intellectual “woke” culture that is incapable of rational thought and believes that shoving their agenda down everyone else’s throats is acceptable because the means justify the ends. The fact that these idiots are walking around college campuses shows just how toxic and anti-intellectual our culture has become, especially within college campuses.
