I haven't had time to listen to the interview yet, but I have to say good for Razib Khan to push back against the cancellation mob. It's a lot easier to remain silent and keep your head down, and it takes courage to defend others from baseless attacks when you know it will bring those same attacks on you. And to do it all while keeping the moral high ground is impressive.
I read your Twitter daily and your Substack whenever it comes out. I also read Jerry Coyne's blog daily. So crazy to learn that Razib Khan is the bridge between them! I will definitely check out Khan's stuff, thanks.
"Love the sinner, hate the sin" is not a good enough motto for today's culture. It's more along the lines of "if you love them, you must embrace their sin; anything less is hate."
In fact, upon further reflection, even "embrace their sin" would be considered hateful, as it is considered hateful to label someone's action as "sin" in current popular culture.

So be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’
Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
This is a family trait.
Love your work! Love your love for truth! Keep it up!

Matt, Try using the word “horsehit” when you think “bullshit” might be inappropriate. Works for me. 😉
