#78 Diversity Is Our Strength — Until You Disagree

At 3:31 a.m. in Minneapolis, a sound echoes through the dark — a call that now defines a city’s new idea of “inclusion.”

From that single moment, this episode unpacks the story we’ve all been sold: that diversity automatically makes us stronger.

But what happens when inclusion becomes a script, disagreement becomes hate, and silence becomes the safest response?

We trace the shift from tolerance to enforcement — from slogans to censorship — and show how the same moral choreography plays out in cities, corporations, campuses, and your own inbox.

Featuring:

Minneapolis’s new ordinance on amplified prayer callsThe U.K.’s 12,000 annual “offensive communication” arrestsCorporate DEI retrenchment and algorithmic speech filtersCampus self-censorship (58% of students admit it)

It’s not about race or religion — it’s about rules.

Who gets the microphone.

Who gets the mute button.

And how the “Volume-Knob State” is quietly teaching everyone to whisper.

Stick around to the end for the callback, the laugh, and a special announcement about Distorted: Expanded Edition — out February 10, in hardcover, paperback, and Audible.
