  1. Hard-core libertarians are an inherent contradiction. They get mad when any sort of rule is imposed on anything, yep they don't believe that the world should be legit anarchy. You have to have some rules in a society. You can't have zero rules or nothing functions. It's about where that line in the sand is.

  2. This is rampant nowadays. Just look at the Triggernometry interview with Sam Harris.

  3. You would like to live in a world devoid of police? What happened to the cities that so much is inched closer to that position after the BLM riots? The outcomes or not good.

  4. I wish people would stop taking such a hard life stances about the vaccines. Whether they work or not depends on what your expectations are. It's 100% fact that there are less deaths from Covid amongst people who are vaccinated. It's also true that the vaccines don't stop you from getting nor transmitting Covid, and that they wane drastically over time. It's not an all or nothing topic.

  5. 5:30. No actual direct quotes or evidence given? This is the hallmark of Wokeism and the leftists. The best example of Jordan Peterson. He has constantly accused of things yet there's never a smoking gun. Ever. Dozens and dozens of hours of him speaking and he's written books, and they can't point do a single concrete thing. It's so intellectually dishonest I can't handle it.

  6. That reminds me of how there's this weird new paradigm in journalism where they believe that it's morally irresponsible to not try to be biased and influence the viewer. It's so arrogant I can't handle it. These people feel that they were able to take all of the information and forms a "correct" position but they don't feel the public would be able to do the same thing.
