About Quillette Cetera

Quillette's Zoe Sankey sits down each fortnight with scientists, writers, activists, and independent thinkers to interrogate the ideas shaping — and dividing — the Western world. From evolutionary psychology and gender to cancel culture, free speech, Islamism, and the collapse of progressive orthodoxies, no topic is too contentious and no question is off limits. Guests have included policy researchers, evolutionary biologists, political dissidents, and some of the sharpest heterodox thinkers writing today. If you're tired of being told what to think, this is the podcast for you.

Like, I think my dad's sense of humor and my mom's as well, but like my dad's been very influential. Yeah. on what I find funny and the types of jokes I make, like I'm 100% the same. Yeah, well, I think, first of all, like in terms of being self-deprecating, I think, which is the highest, probably the highest form of humor, because if I can just make fun of you, but I'm like insulted or offended if you're making fun of me, then that's not a good sign.
