  1. Matt's got some seriously thin skin for someone throwing out shade like he does. I like him, but he needs to be able to accept some constructive criticism from those who are on his damn side. He's like the radical leftists in this way. He's upset that these people aren't 100% on board with what he's doing in exactly the manor he's doing it.

  2. Liberals are just fine. Then again, today's left would call a liberal with popular liberal views circa 2012 an alt-right nazi.

  4.  @jam99  "I can't think of a physical sport where the best XX invariably beats the best XY. Are there any?" One. Ninja warrior obstacle courses are dominated by women, depending on how they are set up. Women have a better strength to weight ratio. Exercises like where you hold onto a bar and then do a pull up which frees the bar and you have to then hook the bar on a higher set of pegs and so on and so forth, women dominate at things like that. I also want to see men on a balance beam 😜. If the course is set up where height matters, then men win on average no matter what because men are taller on average. If it's set up differently, then women can dominate. Food for thought: are the sports we play an advantage to men because men created them to suit their own skill sets? I would love to see women try to come up with their own sports to see if there are different styles of competition that they might be better at.

  5. Most people attack everything but evidence. Then you counter that with asking them to be specific and to provide the sources for their arguments and they tell you that you're just a troll who isn't worth their time.

  6. How was your hardline position any different from any ultra progressive? If you refuse to listen to somebody who starting to come over to your side because they haven't come all the way yet then you don't want a good resolution. You just wanna fight. If you refuse to listen to somebody, because they said, one thing you can't stand, then you just want the fight. Let's not be like that. Let's be encouraging and welcoming to anyone who, starting down the good path. We should be bending over backwards to welcome these people into the fold to help them understand the other damages they and their side have done. That's the only way to get meaningful change.

  7. Look at media. They call anyone who’s not a card carrying progressive “controversial”, yet never apply that label to those like AOC who clearly is controversial. Wikipedia is the most comprehensive library of double standards in the world.

  8.  @daniel.lopresti  what stuff does America get blamed for being isolationist about? I'm Canadian and I'm constantly barrage by America. Getting involved in absolutely every corner of the globe with everything. I'm curious to hear the other side.

  9. I think it’s funny because it will only harden the support for him. Just look what they’re doing to Trump. there’s not a single person out there who liked him and then saw what the board is doing and will dislike him. Zero.

  10. I can't wrap my head around the fact that she re-posts things unedited and gets this much backlash. I think she should stop writing any comments. If she literally did nothing but re-post, what could they possibly say?

  11. In the west, we put the lowest dregs of society in prison. They are the least respected people. In prison, rapists are at the bottom of that totem pole; the bottom of their social hierarchy. Rapists are the most hated people amongst the most hated people, yet somehow he have a "culture" that fosters and allows rape? I've heard feminists say rape is celebrated. SMH.

  12. Just like how he says he's going to give the numbers and data, then only talks about Greenland melting and 7m of sea rise, and the 1.5% target. That's not climate data. Explaining the volume of frozen water in Greenland, or a UN target is NOT the same as explaining to a layman like me what the numbers and data tell us about what humans are doing to the environment.

  13. @Nayako Sadashi Thank you! Having pride in something other people did, or something you were born with, is silly. I'm white as snow but not proud of it in the least. I'm happy I'm Canadian but to be proud? That helps nothing.

  14. That's exactly why I see no important differences between the far left and the far right.

  15.  @DavidHeffron78  The middle east has never been without conflict. There were wars there way before North America was even "discovered". America didn't start the conflicts and America won't end the conflicts there.

  16. ​ @ANTIStraussian  if one single thing was a dealbreaker that made you turn against an individual person to that degree when that person didn't do anything different from countless people before them, means you've become ideological. Sam join the tribe right then in there. Trump did not specifically incite a riot nor violence nor any of that. He directly told them to be lawful. I don't care what his intentions were, I care what his actions were. And this came on the heels of four months of riding were a couple dozen people died and you had politicians calling for bail money for the people that were rioting. Politicians talking about how riots didn't have to be peaceful, and that you should go and harass politicians when they are out and about on their own time. The hypocrisy disgust me to my core. It's why I can't stand ideology. It shuts peoples brains off and it hurts everybody.

  17. Now imagine if everyone had a camera in their pocket back then. We'd all be screwed!

  18. Like it or not, teachers on the whole still get widely praised in society. It's still a very respected position. If you tell someone at a cocktail party you are a teacher they think you have a very noble profession. Peoples parents aren't disappointed that their child brought home their new partner who is a teacher. They get a lot more respect than people in the trades do, that's for damn sure. I could barely have a lower opinion of the academic system, and I just got finished working on a renovation at a high school that was absolutely dead full of far left Woke propaganda in Canada, but that doesn't change the fact that people still respect it on the whole. Blech!

  19. I’m so sick of hearing about this conflict. Everybody on both sides has an entire argument that boils down to “yeah but they killed OUR kids.” I’m completely convinced there is no good guy in this war. I think there’s only a lesser of evils.

  20. Does she sound like an extremist now? She does not at all come across like that to me.

  21. Good on you. The most reasonable people are usually the ones who call out their own side.

  22. I absolutely respect the fact that what he believes. Even if I completely disagree and think the opinion is lonely, I will always have some respect for it.

  23. The law should not prevent them from wearing it, end of story. You’re talking about social pressure to wear something? Welcome to every mother who doesn’t like their kids haircut. Social pressure to wear. Specific types of clothing is extremely common everywhere. That’s a terrible road to go down if we want to start legislating it.

  24.  @ObviusRetard  Agreed. I think your job as a parent is to teach a child to think for itself. Always call out logical contradictions. Get them used to critical thinking. Actual critical thinking, not the type where people just parrot what their professor says. And yeah, maybe your kid will point out one of YOUR blind spots in the process, and that can only be helpful. We all need to keep each other honest.

  27.  @cloudbloom  It's not that he cares about their net worth, it's that he's probably in a bubble of people who live just like he does so if that's all you interact with, you'll be a bit out of touch. It's natural.

  28. Amen. Everyone says things like "Lots of the trans people I know" in podcasts and interviews. Huh? I know a fuck-ton of people because I've moved a lot and done a lot of different things but I don't know a single trans person, and not one person I know has ever mentioned a trans person in their life. Of course they exist and it's a real thing and all that, but c'mon now, not everybody can have that many trans friends. I know a couple gay people, but none of them are trans.

  29.  @rowedtrippa6219  I was unaware that anybody had said otherwise.

  30. Absolutely. If you look at the comments sections on anything that deals with any sort of woke issue, the woke side is much much more likely to go down the path of ad hominem insults, even as responses to respectfully ask questions.

  31. He talks about making sure to push back on anybody spreading obvious falsehoods, and then he immediately after claims that Tucker Carlson is literally a Nazi. I wanted to watch this because I saw one of their interviews with this guy and I didn’t think much of him, and it turns out he’s yet another really smart guy who can’t see past his own nose. He has a little bit of Sam Harris in him. He talks about interviewers needing to do their homework and then comes out and says that Tucker Carlson lost his job at Fox and perhaps is trying to get clicks. Then he talks about Triggernometry rise in numbers. Does he understand Tucker‘s numbers? They were astronomical right off the jump. He was doing Joe Rogan numbers instantaneously. He’s not having this guy on because he’s desperate for Clickbait. He wants strict teams. Ukraine good, Russia bad. Is he forgetting that the Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in Eastern Europe a few months before that according to the friggin NYT? He wants to feel riteous. Churchill good, detractors bad. I sense no objectivity in him at all.

  32. On medical forms are usually answer questions a bit silly. I am a dude so when they ask if I may be pregnant, I would write something like "oh man I hope not, I'm Catholic and unmarried". People used to either chuckle or roll their eyes. Now they might have to take me seriously.

  33. It’s great to watch people have a magical experience and for them to get it while still in the moment. It’s the most surreal feeling and I hope it’s not the last time for you guys. You were smart to do this right after the Bill Burr interview while everything still felt unreal. It came through loud and clear. Congratulations on a wonderful trip, and the effort that led up to it.

  34. And if they disagree with the person being interviewed, they will say it. They are intellectually honest.

  35. But he talks so calmly and confidently. Surely he must be the master of emotion.

  36. Yeah I loved that. They don't want to disagree with anyone saying they are offended, yet they knew he was probably joking so they just kinda nervously laughed and waited for the conversation to move on.

  37. Great interview. As for why did birds survive the extinction, I'm guessing it's because they could access a far larger range to find food. They weren't limited to where they can walk. They can scan thousands of miles for any scraps they could possibly come across.

  38.  @jmack8767  I'd like to think so. I'll admit that I feel as lost as the next person, but I don't feel like there's some grand plan, a reason for everything that I need to be privy to. I'm not searching for some magical answer that will make me happy. I already know the secret to happiness is being surrounded by great people and doing things you are passionate about.

  39. @madi9080 madi9080 I disagree. Using extremes is a great way to get the point across that something is a grey area. Once that's established, you can work your way in towards the middle but very often you'll find that people take a hard line stances on things and refuse to admit any gray areas. That's why you start with the extremes which forces them into a more realistic stances.

  40.  @SM-fk5or  Yanis was involved with the finances of Greece. How did that work out again?

  41. Yeah that really stuck out to me. To suggest that obesity is entirely genetic is insane. He himself talks about wanting to control his weight so he clearly understands we play the biggest role in all of this. I've never once, ever, met an obese person who ate clean. I've met many who claim they do but if I look in their kitchen it's chock full of bad foods. Every time.

  42. I signed up from Canadia. It'll take the sled dogs longer to get the electricity over here in winter though. I left payment via warm thoughts of maple syrup, of course. If you pricks spam me I'll know it was you because I actually used my real name in the signup for once.

  43. I dunno man, i’ve never been a big fan of his and this interview is not helping.He talks about the proud boys being racist and then when it’s brought up that they are led by a person of colour Jimmy admits he doesn’t know anything about them. Then he goes off about the claim that half the people in the hospital proves the vaccines work. There’s a lot of truth to that. If 90% of your population is vaccinated but they only comprise 50% of the people in the hospital, that means that the vaccines do something. They are a net benefit. Keep in mind I’ve personally donated to and been to several rallies for the Canadian truckers (I’m Canadian)So it’s not like I’m trying to pump the vaccines, but I am trying to pump objective thinking everywhere and always. It’s not that I think Jimmy is terrible by any stretch, but he does spout off a little bit too sure of himself in areas where he either admits his own ignorance later, or doesn’t give you the whole story. I’m definitely still a sceptic and the two points I just raised have come less than halfway in. Again, I don’t hate the guy by any stretch, but I do think he’s a little bit too bombastic and he lacks a bit of objectivity for me to really trust what he’s saying as gospel.

  44.  @treborkroy5280  Gotcha questions? They adore Bill and consider themselves on the same side he is. Bill also knows a ton of people that they've interviewed so he could've made a phone call or two or watched an episode or two and figured it out. He didn't have to do it in real time like an asshole. He acts like somebody who is as big as he is and he knows he can say and do whatever he wants.

  46. I think, exposing this clown is a very productive thing. If you go into every interview in good faith, you either learn more about the subject, or you learn more about the person who is formally deemed worthy of an interview.

  47. You sure you are commenting on the right video? Nepotism is directly giving a job or responsibility to your kid simply because they are your kid. That's not what this conversation is about. It's about what society values and how the bloated education system was led by government to get bloated and ridiculous.

  48. No, no, no. That's not how (real) socialists roll. They'll tell you to eat cake but they won't touch the stuff themselves.

  49. .I don't mean this in a cynical way at all, but I'm sure making millions of dollars eases that blow. And going on stage to rooms full of people who paid good money to see you speak has to really soften it as well. It would more than compensate for New York Times hit piece articles and Kathy Newman interviews.
