One of the keynote debates at this year’s Battle of Ideas festival will ask if there are more important things than the relentless debates about race, gender and more.
No, there are not. Survival of the planet and the human species are more important than 'culture' but these concerns are amply covered. For me life is barely worth living if there is no free speech or freedom of thought (think North Korea or Stalin) but these freedoms are increasingly not valued either in the communist or 'woke' Western world. This is unprecedented in the West since the Counter Reformation. This development in 'civilised' society is disturbing and very dangerous. Robert Mules
