A month ago I filmed an episode of Dr. Phil on the topic of trigger warnings and safe spaces. It was such a fun topic. Dr. Phil, myself, and a few other guests explore their impact on learning, their role in the arts, and influence in the workplace. Are they stifling creativity or fostering a safer environment?
The episode broadcast live on Wednesday, May 15th.
I watched it for the first time with many of you. It was a mystery - who knew how my 3-hour interview footage has been edited. I could be portrayed as an villainous extremist - perfect for high ratings and online fury.
Lo and behold, here is an excerpted version. Know that the edited parts were some of the best parts. Enjoy:
I can't wait to watch this and see how you're edited! Also, I'm really curious to hear the other "side" of why trigger warnings are a good idea.
