Great friend and the host of (maybe) the most reasonable podcast on the entire internet, "Matt D'Elia is Confused," Matt D'Elia himself joins for the first Reasonable Conversation.
We discuss:
How to be reasonable with someone who is telling you about how to get rid of sexually transmitted demons
How the pundits at the extremes dictate the terms of the conversation and create the “other side” narrative for people who don’t listen to the other side
Moral blame for going outside during coronavirus
Lockdowns in cities vs rural areas
Whether we should be comfortable with 'nationalizing' issues, lockdowns, etc... while also being uncomfortable with giving someone like Donald Trump that amount of control
How bad faith breeds bad faith
Donald Trump as a symptom vs a cause
How the business model is outrage
The morality of the shutdown and the interplay of the economy with health concerns
Whether our public officials have the courage to make moves that subject them to downside responsibility
How the coronavirus shutdown will affect the movie business
And how Matt is spending his lockdown
