Hey Mike,

When you made the first offer of a free copy of your Trend Following audio book I was there and get a certificate for a free download. Number of times I read your last Trend Following book = 0 (read the first couple of chapters). Number of times I have listened to Trend Following = 5 and counting. It is my traveling companion. I had my dad’s luxury Buick for the last two weeks and connecting my phone via bluetooth to listen was hit or miss; more miss. Finally today I returned his car and got my old Toyota back and it connected to the phone and the audio book cued up to play, I just had to press play. All is good again.

Have a great weekend,
[Name]

Thanks!

My guest today is Bradley Campbell, a sociologist whose research focuses on moral conflict — clashes of right and wrong and how they are handled. His work primarily looked at genocide arising from large-scale interethnic conflicts , but recently he has begun to examine smaller-scale conflicts on modern college campuses. Since about 2013 he has studied the phenomena of micro aggression complaints, calls for trigger warnings and safe spaces. He views this new era as, “Manifestations of ongoing moral change and the clash of different moral ideals.” He addresses these topics in his book, “The Rise of Victimhood Culture: Micro aggressions, Safe Spaces, and the New Culture Wars.”

The topic is his book The Rise of Victimhood Culture: Microaggressions, Safe Spaces, and the New Culture Wars.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Hate crimes
• Genocide
• Micro aggression
