I just returned from Charlie Kirk’s memorial, and I want to share something with you.
I want to continue this conversation with you. I’m hosting a live AMA for paid subscribers this Friday at 5:15pm PT where I’ll share more about the memorial experience and we can discuss these critical issues together. Drop your questions in the comments below, and feel free to ask more when we’re live.
Now, about why I think we’re here in the first place...
Part of the answer lies in the breakdown of language itself - facilitated by social media.
When “fascist” can mean anything from Hitler to someone who disagrees with you, when we operate on a political spectrum but pretend everything is binary, when words become tribal weapons instead of tools for understanding - we create the conditions where speech gets conflated with violence.
This isn’t just an academic problem. It’s getting people killed.
The solution starts with precision. Let’s practice it together.
Key insights in this video:
Why social media gave fringe minorities the power to redefine language for everyone
The FIRE study showing 36-37% of both far-left AND far-right college students support violence against speakers
How the political spectrum actually works (hint: a 20 isn’t a 100, even if they’re on the same side)
My real-time example from Jubilee of demanding precision in heated conversations
