  1. He is insufferable.

  2. I'm amazed he was able to refrain from talking about Trump. Going back to the early days of the IDW, I never understood the appeal of Sam. He talks about objectivity and rationality, but he only uses it himself on a cherry picked basis. Reminds me of Bill Maher that way.

  3. I get what you're saying, but that argument goes both ways. When people refuse to look at Oct 7 it's equally infuriating. That whole war is a joke. I wish my tax dollars stayed away. "I kill you because you killed mine because I killed yours....." going back 2 thousand years? Good grief. It's a battle of book clubs with deadly consequences. Leave me out of it please.

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

  5. I'm trying to understand the connection between someone's attire with whether or not their ideas are valid. Please explain it to me and my baseball cap, but slowly so maybe I can understand. No big words. Be specific though.

  6. He's fascinating to listen to when he talks about being objective and holding your beliefs within the bounds of rational context, considering he has the single biggest case of trump derangement syndrome I've ever seen from a public intellectual

  7. The UN is far, far, far from non partisan.

  8. Amen. I'm cripplingly objective so watching people claim to be whilst being emotionally based kills me. Crazy ideas said in ASMR are still crazy ideas.

  9. He for sure works backwards to justify his initial gut feelings.

  10. I can't count how many times there has been a big news story and I say that I don't have an opinion yet because I haven't heard all the facts. The responses are often: "So now you're defending _____?!" "What's there to know? You're just covering up for them. You are part of the problem!".
