The Lex Fridman Podcast has an excellent interview with FIRE co-founder Greg Lukianoff. Lukianoff makes persuasive arguments against campus speech restrictions and is an effective advocate for the importance of freedom of speech in society generally. I believe he is sincere when he says he is a progressive.
