Grappling with difficult moral questions is a part of human life, but in the age of Wikipedia and ChatGPT, are we now outsourcing our morality? Are people becoming less moral over time?
Expect to learn why Peter Hitchens really does not like Alex, whether ChatGPT can be convinced of the existence of God, what the non-identity problem is, if Nihilism will make a comeback, the impact of the debate around free will, how much we can trust the historical accuracy of the bible and much more…

Thanks for having me again, Chris!

Big fan of Alex. First saw him in a number of debates with Capturing Christianity. Myself a Christian and him being Atheist/Agnostic, I see him as a great ally for genuine discourse.

40:20 Chris’s request for clarification is simply, “Be more accessible”. Brilliant. I’m stealing that one.

"Be more accessible"
Thanks for being a great host and helping the guest to flesh out their ideas.

The Freud joke Alex pulled off at 54:29 and the response from Chris was awesome - you can tell these guys are friends.

1:36:50 "I think we might need to actually start acting in accordance with what's true" said as a warning is such a perfect absurdist quote, I love it

I'm probably the one-billionth person to say this on the internet, but we need more conversations like this. One fundamental issue, it seems, is that people just don't know what they don't know. This was fantastic, Chris. Alex is an intellectual treasure. Thanks for sharing!

O’connor is also one of my favorite people to watch debate. He has good arguments, he articulates them very well, but he’s also very respectful and actually listens to the other side. When i was younger, i used to enjoy ben’s style of debate. But as i get older, i realized that style doesn’t actually accomplish anything. It’s loud and fast, and that can be really entertaining, but it doesn’t actually help. The more relaxed and engaged debate is the constructive type of debate, where both sides actually think and learn, and don’t just try to be faster and louder than the other one.

This was one of my favourite episodes. Hope to see Alex come on again, and eager to see him elsewhere.

I've been following Alex for a while but hadn't seen Chris before.
This was a fun interview; I enjoy the way Chris "humanizes" Alex by way of friendly banter.

The best of the best. Intelligence, generosity, friendship, humor, insight, generosity. It doesn't get better than this.

God, can you guys do this like, twice a month. I love hearing rational people deliberate and learn from one another. I feel like this is the conversation I’m always craving and never hearing, much less having.

This was an absolutely brilliant interview! Your chemistry with Mr. O’Conner is outstanding and the conversation was very engaging. Great work both of you! 🎉

Before the interview with Alex, Peter Hitchens had just spent a week in prison as an inmate as part of a documentary. During that stretch he had heated arguments about the drug issue with prisoners. Having spent a bit of time behind bars I can tel that the first few days are a fucking nightmare. He probably didn't know it himself but wasn't in the mental state to be having a debate. Especially on that topic.

Delightful, I am so pleased to see Alex getting his flowers and having this conversation with Chris! Hopefully he becomes a regular!

I started following both these guys during the pandemic a few years ago.....to see them come together like this in a crossover is like watching your fave avengers battle thanos.

Love the work that both of you do. The honest search for interesting ideas is something that enriches everyone. Keep up the good fight. 🙂
