Heather Mac Donald - Episode 1: Is God just a placeholder for ignorance?

Building Worldviews

This is the first of a two-part conversation with Heather Mac Donald about her personal background, the people who shaped her, her worldview, and love of music. We also have an interesting conversation about why, unlike many of our previous Contributors, she does not believe in either capital “T” truth or the existence of God.

Other topics we cover: studying the deconstruction of language, the source of courage in her work, the litmus test between libertarians and conservatives, and the evidence for God and miracles (or not).

Heather Mac Donald is the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a New York Times bestselling author. She is the author of six books: “The Burden of Bad Ideas” (2001); “The Immigration Solution: A Better Plan Than Today’s” (2007); “Are Cops Racist?” (2010); “The War on Cops” (2016); “The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture” (2018); and her most recent book, “When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives” (2023). Mac Donald holds a J.D. from Stanford University Law School and is currently a sought-after voice on identity politics and the trajectory of America.
