Dave Smith and Eric Weinstein on Douglas Murray Joe Rogan Debate was a discussion with Eric Weinstein and Dave Smith, hosted by Piers Morgan on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show.
Description[edit]
Joe Roganâs debate between Dave Smith and Douglas Murray has dominated online discourse for days, with supporters spinning for both sides as if it was a presidential election debate. Even President Trump himself seemingly picked a team, when he posted a glowing endorsement of Murrayâs new book the very next day.
Almost as interesting as the main debate were some of the issues it raised about the way debate has transformed in the digital age. Do you need to travel to a specific country, or experience a war, to have valid opinions about whatâs happening there? And should the podcasters who now wield more influence than any TV network be more judicious about who they platform? And who really won Murray vs Smith?
Joining Piers Morgan to debate all this is Professor John Spencer, executive director of the Urban Warfare Institute, who took issue with a number of Daveâs points and felt he was âepically dismantledâ by Murray. Plus Dave Smith himself, comedian and host of âPart of the Problemâ defends himself, before being delving into deeper discussion on war discourse with Harvard mathematician and podcaster Dr Eric Weinstein.
