Muthonomics #23: The Stupidity of Playing Dangerous Group Identity Games

Episode, in which, I labor to point out the primary danger of playing group identity games, namely, the ever-more-specific clamping down on thoughts and opinions that results from the fallacious and frightening pursuit of “purifying the group”. The primary material for this endeavor is comments Martina Navratilova made regarding trans-gender athletes, however, other items mentioned include Mystery Science Theater 3000, Galileo, spoiled tennis players, heretics and a half-dozen or more dictatorial lunatics from the last 100 years. Enjoy! (And please value people as individuals).
