| Opplysninger | Introduction -- Toolkit: things you need to know to read this book well -- Conversation one. The conversation about why we can't have conversations any more -- Conversation two. Does history have a right side? -- Conversation three. The conversation about gender nonconformity -- Conversation four. The conversation about comedy and freedom of speech -- Conversation five. The conversation about cancel culture -- Conversation six. What are we going to do about all this?. - "Are you ready to talk? Why have disagreements become so flammable? Why are progressive people calling for censorship in comedy? How has the so-called 'transgender debate' become so toxic and what can we do to help? How is our empathy being manipulated by the internet? How does AI operate like a psychopath? How do we achieve progress in today's, y'know, screaming hellscape? We are understandably scared to have difficult conversations right now. But comedian and bestselling writer Deborah Frances-White is even more scared of not having them. Having grown up in a cult which shut down any dissent, Deborah sees the same tactics being used in our rapidly changing society. She knows the value of freedom of speech, critical thinking and the ability to argue well. And as the host of hit podcast The Guilty Feminist, she has been having difficult conversations in public for almost a decade. In her new, urgent page-turner Deborah examines how the world has come to this and what we can actually do about it. Most importantly, she explores how to change minds, including our own. Deborah invites us to boldly meet this moment in history with hope, clarity and courage. She has written, as Desiree Burch says, 'a book to leave you transformed.'"--
