Dr. Stephen Hicks - White Privilege, Tru...

Lucas Skrobot
About this episode

Dr. Stephen Hicks (@SRCHicks) highlights underlying philosophical assumptions that individuals hold while discussing race and racism. In part one of my discussion with Dr. Stephen Hicks, we evaluate these assumptions such as the subjectivity of truth, the worldview of life as a zero-sum game, and how we came to value group identity over individuality.

Dr. Stephen Hicks is a professor of Philosophy at Rockford University, the executive director of the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship, and a senior scholar for The Atlas Society. You can purchase his book, Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault, on Amazon.

Check out part two of my conversation with Dr. Stephen Hicks. Go out and own the future.

What to listen for:

  • How are you viewing what is happening with the George Floyd killing, the protests, and riots? What is going on in America and across the world? (03:01)
  • What are the complexities of truth and lie of "white privilege"? (11:00)
  • What are the implications of a zero-sum worldview? (22:04)
  • What happens when we disempower neighborhoods? (29:07)
  • How did we develop a reliance on group identity over individuality? (33:44)
  • How did colonialism impact the contemporary economic opportunity of various nations? (43:04)
