Lionel Shriver On Modern Day Religions Of Cancel Culture And Fitness

Lionel Shriver joins host Ben Domenech to discuss the popularity of fitness and how it cultivates an image-obsessed culture, and the left's recent attempts to silence those who disagree with their ideas. Shriver is an author and journalist, and her most recent book is "The Motion of the Body Through Space."

Shriver uses her new novel to explore the emerging religious aspect to fitness, and how one's physique is now the ultimate measure of their success and ability. This newfound focus on health and fitness has become a competitive battle that no one can win since there is no end goal. Shiver compared this idea to the recent protests for racial equality, as neither cause has a desired achievement that would complete their efforts.
