John Derbyshire, journalist, math aficionado, and author of the new book “We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism”, sat down with host Kevin I. Slaughter for a discussion on atheism and conservatism, math cranks and more. This excerpt touches on Islamophobia, mass immigration, and a scientific study that reveals depression may be an evolutionary way to think more clearly.

Please note: I misspoke, well, a few times as usual, but specifically in the discussion of Islamophobia where I say that Derbyshire believes “Christianity isslightly crazier than Islam”, but that should be “slightly less crazy than Islam”. A small, but important difference.
