Youtube comments of JLH (@Kyarrix).

  1.  @kurger100  Not a helpful comment given that you don't know what her situation was. The fact that in the US we don't do a better job of protecting people and providing a social safety net is an obscenity. I'm an attorney, I've worked very hard to get here and I'm aware that luck is a component in everyone's life no matter how hard they work. The woman in the video was married and works hard. Where is the protection for her? For others like her?

  2. What a lovely comment. Thank you for writing it. I agree with a lot of what you said. I'm American, Jewish and I lived in Israel for 12 years. I used to consider myself to the left or a leftist. I believe in health care for everyone, more equality of opportunity while understanding that equality of outcome is not possible. Everyone should have rights, everyone should be treated with decency and dignity. People shouldn't go unhoused or unfed, making poor choices should not mean that you starve or end up in a tent on the side of the highway. All of that is a lead up to the realization that the overwhelming majority of people on the left are anti-Semitic. There is no other way to put it. They have bought into a narrative that there are oppressors and oppressed. That Jewish people are white and oppressors and therefore in the wrong. Meanwhile Jewish people have never been considered white and two-thirds of the Jewish population of Israel are Sephardic or Mizrachi, darker skinned people from Arab countries and indistinguishable from any other person there. Hitler didn't consider Jews to be white people, historically Jews have always been regarded as non-white. I'm exhausted. People I thought were decent, well intentioned and intelligent have revealed themselves to be none of those things. You can point out that Muslims outnumber Jews 120 to 1 (There are almost two billion Muslims in the world and about 15.2 million Jews total) or that Gaza also has a border with Egypt. You can tell them that Israel has provided more humanitarian aid to the people in Gaza than any Arab Nation. You can show them the tremendous amount of humanitarian aid that the average citizen in Gaza never sees because Hamas takes that money and uses it to wage terror. You can point out that 70% of the civilians in Gaza support Hamas. You can show them that Israelis don't gang rape Arab women and drag their broken bodies down the road for people to cheer and spit at. I can go on for pages and pages. I can keep going until I cry. They don't care. Qatar for example has spent billions over the past 20 years on the long game of subverting and influencing. There is so much propaganda and misinformation and people are steeped in it. I feel hopeless right now. Hopeless and sad. I'm glad there are people like you out there, it restores a little bit of light.

  3. I think this interview would have been better if the interviewer had interrupted less. Not only interrupting, he would cut the doctor short and speak at length. We are here for the interview not to listen to the interviewer speak. I've seen this tendency before but it was pronounced in this interview. Dhru is a good interviewer and an intelligent person. It would be better if he would resist the temptation to make himself the subject of the interview.

  4. To those who are in agreement with the court, who are in favor of restricting access to abortion. The vast majority of you don't care at all about babies. If you did, you would be in favor of healthcare for everyone, not just for the children of people who can afford it. If you cared about babies, you would be more concerned with birth control and sex education so that unwanted pregnancies didn't happen in the first place. But you're not. The overwhelming majority of you aren't concerned at all about babies.You're concerned with punishing women. You believe that you have the right to decide what a woman can and can't do and it threatens you if she decides to do something different from what you believe to be correct. People will have sex, no matter what you say or believe. That is what people have always done and will always do. If you really cared about babies, you would want to prevent births where the parents can't take care of the baby. But you don't, you don't want to fund sex education, birth control or healthcare. You don't want to take care of the babies once they're born. All you care about is the ability to penalize women for the temerity of having sex. That is your goal. I am trying for patience and tolerance but I admit that I am filled with disgust and anger for the people who are trying to make the lives of poor women more difficult. Middle class women, wealthy women will always have the ability to go to a different state and end their pregnancy. This will affect women who can least afford it. And these babies, the babies you will force on these women, what kind of lives will they have? You don't care about the babies' lives, your deep Christian concern ends when the baby exits the woman's womb. The hypocrisy is stunning. We don't have healthcare for all in this country, almost every other country has it but we don't. We don't offer sex education, contraception, we talk about this being the greatest country in the world, and it once was, but no longer. Don't be a hypocrite. If you claim to care about the lives of babies, care about them once they're born.

  5. Why did he keep talking about long hair and long nails? I'm a woman, I was born a woman, I don't have long hair or long nails. It doesn't detract from my femininity. Where does this dumb stereotype come from and how do we get rid of it?

  6. No, he is saying to stay away from sugar. Sugar in general is a processed food. It is a concentrated food. You should not be eating sugar. White sugar, liquid sugars, these things should be stayed away from. You can have a little bit every now and then but sugar should not be part of your daily diet.

  7. Take what Jeff says with a grain of salt. He is absolutely right about seed and grain oils being unhealthy and pro-inflammatory. But, and this is the important caveat, he is here to sell his product. His company manufactures a replacement for those oils. They call it cultured oil and their claim is that it is much healthier. He is offering his laboratory manufactured replacement for pro-inflammatory hexane processed vegetable and seed oils but there is no need for a replacement oil. We should not be ingesting processed oils in the first place other than in extreme moderation. Use butter, ghee, avocado and olive oil in moderation if you can get good products and animal fat from pasture raised animals where possible. We don't need a replacement vegetable oil, what we need is to eat real food, not laboratory created pseudo products that are allegedly better for us. In 50 years we'll know whether his product is okay to eat or not but don't be the guinea pigs. It doesn't matter much if his product ends up being less harmful. It isn't going to be better or healthier than real food. Eat real food, use healthy sources of fat and leave the frankenfoods behind.

  9.  @FatBoy42069  I'm an attorney. When I graduated from law school I worked as a court appointed guardian in family law cases where my responsibility was to make sure that the best interests of the child were weren't lost in the acrimony of the proceeding. I took this very seriously because of my own childhood. This was one of the reasons, the primary reason, I went to law school. I hear what you're saying and I'm sorry this happened to you. it doesn't help to say that there are situations where a judge does the wrong thing or where the best interests of the child get lost, even if these cases are 5%, they represent a tremendous number of children who are harmed. Look back at the original comment I was responding to. The person who wrote it is very angry, he talks about fathers only paying when they have dual custody as though the responsibility to raise your child disappears if you don't have custody. The anger in his comment prompted my response. It is not a transactional relationship. He also didn't include the court's reasoning for not ordering dual custody. In my comment I said I was sorry if he had done everything he needed to do and was still denied dual custody. But his anger and attitude made me think that there was more to the story.

  10. I'm an attorney, I was an administrative law judge in New York state. I care very much about fairness and ethics. I was badly abused as a child resulting in the need for 17 surgeries. I became an attorney because I care about fairness, I wanted to see more justice in the world. I have thought a lot about this case. I understand why people are viewing him in heroic terms. Our healthcare system is awful. The United States spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country and we come in 14th or 15th in terms of outcome. Why? Because most of the money doesn't go to actual healthcare, it goes into the pockets of the insurance companies. The insurance company Brian Thompson represented routinely declines a third of all claims resulting in tremendous hardship for people. It is understandable that anger at the system would reach the point where violence seemed the only way forward. If we can make changes within the system then violence should never happen. Vigilante violence can't happen in a sane and reasonable society. The question we have to ask ourselves is have we reached the point where our society is no longer sane and reasonable? Insurance companies engage in predatory practices. That isn't debatable. It is fact. What do we do then? If we say that violence is always wrong but at the same time change cannot be made within the system because those in power will not give up that power, what is left? I don't know the answer to that question. I believe that vigilante justice is wrong but I do not know what the answer is. I hope we don't have to reach the point of increasing violence but if there isn't significant change and soon, I'm afraid that's where we're going. For the record, the justifications cited by Mr Moynihan are invalid. Our healthcare is not the most expensive in the world because we live in a wealthy nation. It is the most expensive because most of the money goes to the insurance companies, not to actual care. I understand where he's coming from but he is giving the insurance companies far too much leeway, according them the benefit of the doubt when they have proven repeatedly that their interest is solely profit. He also engaged in a couple of strawman arguments that I would have preferred he refrained from. I respect his position but in this instance, he is wrong. Our healthcare system is a for-profit model with incentives built in to it, the more drugs and procedures done, the more money made. Doctors are not rewarded for teaching prevention, they are penalized for it and eventually fired, if not worse. I'm aware of several doctors who were brought before disciplinary committees for the sin of teaching their patients prevention rather than prescribing medications or performing procedures. There is so much disease in the United States that is the result of lifestyle, we've been taught to depend on pills and procedures. Ozempic is a good example. An obscene amount of money is being made from that drug and doctors are strongly encouraged to recommend and prescribe it rather than teaching their patients how to eat healthily. There is so much wrong with our system that Mr Moynihan is ignoring or glossing over. I don't think violence is the answer but neither is excusing the very real abuses that occur at a tremendous cost in unnecessary suffering.

  12. I have so much compassion and sorrow for the black man who is talking about how he is treated in stores and in the market. I feel anger on his behalf. This country has so much it needs to fix, this is a good indication of something that should be a priority.

  13. A friend shared this channel with me a week or two ago. Since then I've watched a lot of the videos and I am very much impressed. You are providing effective therapy for a large audience of people who need it and would not otherwise get it. People who can't afford it or are not inclined to find therapy. The cost of procrastination is the life you could have lived. That is brilliant, painful and exactly right. I have or had a close friend, I am sharing this video with him in the hopes that he will take it to heart and use it as a jumping off point. There are other videos here that would be helpful in addition to DBT and other tools. I am grateful to you for these videos. If you ever doubt yourself look through the comments at the number of people whose lives you have saved or greatly improved.

  14. I felt the same way I'm watching this and he's saying repeatedly that nobody has to get this terrible condition but he doesn't say what to do to prevent it. A little bit frustrating, I agree.

  15.  @BendItMakeItClap69  Are you aware that in the US healthcare and dental care are not available for many? Do you understand that people lose their homes because they get sick even when they've done nothing wrong and taken precautions? Did you know that this issue is treated differently in most other countries? My profession has required that I learn a lot about this topic. Rather than respond in the style of your first comment, take a moment and read what I've written and think about it. I've written a lot and spent time on this because it's important. You felt that the person you were responding to is giving people an excuse, that people lack self-awareness and responsibility but this goes far beyond responsibility and involves much greater issues. A person can be the epitome of responsibility and still find themselves in a terrible situation. Your spouse gets cancer, you need an emergency appendectomy, your child has an abscess in their mouth or breaks their leg. What happens in those situations? If you don't have health insurance, you go into debt and can lose your home. There are diabetics in this country who routinely have to choose between medication and paying other bills, medication they need to live or food. The medication they need is a fraction of the price in Canada. It's so much more expensive here because the pharmaceutical industry, corporations in general, have tremendous influence and power relative to other countries. We don't regulate, ostensibly because of our belief in free markets and we allow profit to come before the needs of our citizens. In the US there is a belief that free markets are the way to prosperity for everyone. Free markets can work when everyone brings something to the table, where we need each other. One person sells an item, the other person buys it. One person sells a service, another buys it and the person selling the service then goes and purchases goods. But there is a point where wealth and influence tip too far in one direction, where one side has so much power that the other loses the ability to bargain and negotiate fairly. For example, if there are 20 businesses in your town, you can negotiate a wage. The businesses need employees and you can, in theory, find a job that benefits both you and your employer. The system works best when both sides understand that they are both necessary. When an employee brings experience and the willingness to work hard, the employer understands that their business is making money because of the work of the employees. It should be synergy, both should negotiate in good faith and benefit. What happens though when there is only one employer? The potential workers lose their ability to negotiate. That employer has a monopoly on employment and you either take what they offer or starve. If one company has a monopoly on manufacturing insulin they can charge as much as they want for it and you have to pay it or die. The only other option is for the government to step in and regulate. But if that company donates a lot of money to your party, if your uncle is on the board, if these are the people you know and socialize with, if the highly paid lobbyists do their jobs, if gerrymandering has resulted in the party representing the minority controlling government and many other factors, you could end up with a situation where that regulation doesn't happen. You could end up with a situation where people routinely have to create GoFundMe to pay medical bills, where friends traveling to Canada are asked to bring back months of prescription medications because they cost a fraction of what they would here. We are the only developed nation that does not provide a basic level of healthcare. We are the only developed nation that allows necessities such as insulin to be priced so high that people can't afford it. All other developed nations and some that are considered still developing do better. The US spends 17% of GDP on healthcare but ranks dead last among the 11th wealthiest countries in outcome. That is a stunning piece of information. It is a problem that we have to fix. Do you understand where this is going? We spend twice as much but our healthcare is the worst. The biggest reason is because the money we spend does not actually go for healthcare, it goes to insurance companies and the for-profit bureaucracy and machinery of healthcare in this country. Everywhere else, and I've lived in other places, healthcare is not a for-profit industry. It's understood that healthcare is a necessity just like infrastructure and that money spent on healthcare should actually be used for that purpose rather than more than half of it going to health insurance companies and corporate salaries. You're familiar with the term infrastructure; roads, bridges, airports, power plants, our taxes are used to pay for infrastructure and for things like school, firefighters and police, the postal service. These are all essential services and we pay for them together because we use them. Similarly, in most other countries it's understood that a basic level of healthcare and dental care is essential. Workers in the US have minimal bargaining rights. Compared to the 60s and 70s, the wealth inequality gap has increased tremendously. Where before a CEO might make 10x the salary of an employee, they now make much, much more. In the '60s and '70s you could work in a factory and support a family at a good standard of living. Now it takes two working and most middle class families still struggle. Here's another piece of information, more than 50% of families in this country cannot handle a $400 emergency. What has changed? Has everyone suddenly become less responsible? When you consider the economic changes that have created this situation, these changes were never in the power of those affected. Every year wealth in the US is concentrated in fewer hands. We have now reached a point where less than 1% of the population have more of the available wealth and assets than the bottom two thirds. This was never the case before, there were those who were richer and those who had less, but this much of a chasm, is unsustainable. In order for a society to work, those who do the work have to be able to live a decent life. They used to be able to and now they are not. There are many more factors and I've written a lot already but this should give you a place to start. You watched this video, that suggests that you are interested in the topic. I spent 20 minutes of my evening writing this for your benefit in the hopes that you will use it as a jumping off place to learn more.

  16.  @powruser0  I'll share what I wrote about it. I understand what you're saying but when a woman's husband says "we need to do this so that we can take our money with us" and the husband is middle eastern, he expects compliance. That doesn't mean she didn't know but it doesn't mean that she did. Here's my full comment: The rush to judgment is wrong. Too many commenters are basing their assessment of her on the things her father and an ex-boyfriend said. Their statements regarding her character are not credible evidence. Her father says she was rebellious as a child, of course she was rebellious, they were Jehovah's witnesses. Most of us would be rebellious in that situation. Her ex-boyfriend talked about her liking cars and motorcycles, many people like cars and motorcycles. But it's presented as being suggestive of an inherently flawed personality. She talked about being tortured in an ISIS jail under suspicion of being an American spy. That was substantiated but the interviewer still portrayed it as suspect. The little boy who was purchased as a slave regarded her as his surrogate mother and said that she was very kind to him and that he wanted to be near her. The girl who was purchased as a slave, said that Sam told her she wouldn't be a slave and that she would be treated as a daughter. She viewed it as a rescue. The girl said that Moussa beat Samantha and abused her. The fact that Moussa also raped the girl cannot be held against Samantha. If you blame her for bringing the girl into their home, consider what had happened to her until that time and what would have happened to her in other households. It was and is a horrible thing, but Samantha was acting out of compassion and wanted to help. She also substantiated the fact that Moussa beat Sam to the point of screaming. And her son Matthew referred to Moussa being violent and mentally unstable. Every point the interviewer raises, talking about her story unraveling and viewing everything with suspicion, each one of those points can be explained. She made a very poor choice in getting together with Moussa but that doesn't prove that she intended to help ISIS. All that it proves is bad judgment. We don't know how much she knew about where they were going. She was married to the man, she had a child with him and at that point she probably trusted him. With respect to the videos the interviewer raised as though they proved certain guilt, it is entirely credible that she didn't pay much attention to what they were watching. It's reasonable that she went shopping or did something different while he was watching videos with his friends. The culture that he came from doesn't encourage men and women socializing together. It would have been viewed as odd for her to sit with the men and watch whatever videos they were watching. The part of this that I find most objectionable is the interviewer's approach. Frontline generally does an excellent job but here there is the building of a case with each piece of information presented as more damning evidence. However, when you look at it, each point can be explained. But when she tries to explain, he presents it as though she is lying. By the time you reach the end of the video you're ready to lock her up and throw away the key. At the end the interviewer tells us that she is lying, that she won't accept her guilt but he puts her in untenable position by asking her to say something that contradicts the terms of the plea agreement. She can't do that, if she does the plea agreement could be withdrawn. I don't know if she is guilty, I don't know what she knew or when she knew it. We know that she exercised poor judgment. We can say for certain that she should have known things that she might not have known due to the kind of relationship she was in and the culture of the man she was married to. She shouldn't have been willing to move money illegally, but this is something that many people do and it doesn't prove intent to support ISIS, it proves bad judgment. I've written this not because I find her to be sympathetic, but because I found the interviewer's approach to be lacking in objectivity and unnecessarily condemnatory. It is wrong on his part to offer hearsay and opinions from people who have an axe to grind as solid evidence while viewing her explanations as suspect and instructing the audience to do the same. ... For context, I lived in the middle east for a few years. I know that culture. You might be right but the way the video presented the information was one-sided. Information that he presented as compelling evidence wasn't. I would have liked to have represented her in this, either her attorney did not do a great job or the government was determined to find someone to blame, perhaps both.

  17. The not being cruelty free is important to me. I don't think I've ever been attracted to Revlon products, when I think of them I think of older people in bright lipstick. They are too expensive for what they offer. Thank you for the information, I didn't know before that they weren't cruelty free, I had assumed but I didn't know.

  22.  @thomasrobinson4401  That's unnecessarily judgmental and potentially sexist also. Are you evaluating the men's appearance when you decide whether to take their advice or not? This is the kind of comment that is so irksome because it's smug and ugly. You can agree with the original comment, without taking a pot shot at some woman's appearance. Why would you ever think of doing that? Why would that even occur to you? It doesn't with regard to the men, check yourself please. Where does the impulse come from?

  23.  @marysueeasteregg  I am a little confused as to why you are directing this question to me. Did I create the impression that I was trans? I am not. I was born a woman and I am a woman. I just don't have very long hair or long nails. I'm an attorney and presenting that way results in not being taken seriously. We're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't. Women are often expected to conform to that stereotype but if you do it in certain professions you are taken less seriously. We are expected to be feminine in approach and affect but not too feminine. We get penalized if we display too much leadership or decisiveness, criticized if we don't display enough. I wouldn't trade what I do but it can be difficult. Not the substance, all of these issues surrounding it.

  25. @Steven H You don't care at all about babies. If you did, you would be in favor of healthcare for everyone, not just for the children of people who can afford it. If you cared about babies, you would be more concerned with birth control and sex education so that unwanted pregnancies didn't happen in the first place. But you're not. You aren't concerned at all about babies.You're concerned with punishing women. You believe that you have the right to decide what a woman can and can't do and it threatens you if she decides to do something different from what you believe to be correct. People will have sex, no matter what you say or believe. That is what people have always done and will always do. If you really gave the first flying f about babies, you would want to prevent births where the parents can't take care of the baby. But you don't, you don't want to fund sex education, birth control or healthcare. You don't want to take care of the babies once they're born. All you care about is the ability to penalize women, women and only women for the temerity of having sex. That is your goal. I am trying for patience and tolerance but you disgust me and fill me with anger. It's the hypocrisy that I find so intolerable.

  26. Exactly this. I don't maintain strict keto, I eat low carb, high healthy fats. Eggs, avocado, vegetables, pasture raised dairy and meat in moderation, limited fruit, berries if I want them (I love blueberries or blackberries on full fat Greek yogurt) I eat very limited grains, effectively none. I do eat some unprocessed carbs, for example, occasional garbanzo beans oven roasted to golden brown and crisp are great on a salad or with a meal but they're an accent, 20-30g no more. I avoid processed foods like the plague that they are. I don't use pro-inflammatory vegetable or seed oils, avoid foods with added sugar and most GMO foods. If I really want a treat I'll have it and go back to the way I eat right away. A treat would be something I bake or high quality vanilla bean gelato. I don't crave it but I do love it and I know that we can have celebratory foods if we have them rarely and if they don't trigger us to continue eating. I learned this from Dr Jason Fung; we don't have to be rigid, instead work towards consistency. If I eat healthily 98% of the time, get exercise and good sleep, in the absence of any condition that would preclude it or trigger more eating, I can have an ice cream or some bread or a dessert at a celebration. He talks about going on a cruise with his family and eating the cruise food. When he got back he had gained some weight. He stepped up the fasting and carb restriction and lost it right away before his body began to treat it as his new set point. I've lost over 100 pounds and I bike 20 miles most days. I was disabled for over ten years due to some bad things that happened to me but I'm healthy now and I want the lost career and life time back. I know I can't have that but I can do everything to be as healthy as I can into my 50s and beyond.

  28.  @katec708  When a reply starts with the words "I don't have stats to back this up" but "this is what I've heard" it is difficult to accord it much weight. What is your background? Do you work for the courts or in the court system? What is the extent of your experience with this issue? If you had said "the courts used to favor mothers outright" I'd agree. I also agree that it is absolutely a "weird benevolent sexism thing" and that it is unfair to women, harmful to children (in that it perpetuates stereotypes) and damaging to fathers. Lead with your strengths, you weaken the argument when you preface it with "I don't have stats to back this up but this is what I've heard." Most courts make an effort to overcome that stereotype but many judges are still of the era in which this was understood as fact and truth. If your judge is in her (or his) 60s or 70s they were born in the 50s/60s and many judges are older. The location of the court also bears on this. Are we in NY or Seattle? Or somewhere in the South where ideas are far more rigid? I have lived in New York and on the west coast where the courts are far less likely to assume that a female is the better parent simply because of her sex. Let's go back to the original comment that prompted my response. The guy is angry, his anger is palpable in the comment and he said that a father has no responsibility unless he has dual custody and that attitude caused my reaction. The idea that a man doesn't owe his child anything unless he has custody is wrong. Why did the court deny his request for dual custody? He didn't include any of their reasoning. Was he abusive to his spouse (or partner, girlfriend) or to the child? Is he an alcoholic or drug user? Did he move out of state and the mother petitioned for sole physical custody in order to avoid interruptions in school? We don't know why the court made its decision. It is wrong to assume that the court did so simply because an angry guy on Youtube says he shouldn't have to pay child support unless he has dual custody. Why would you make the leap to assume he was denied something that would have been in the best interests of the child and in his own interests? Generally the courts try to include the father if not by dual physical custody then by an arrangement that includes the father substantially. There are many situations where it is not in the best interests of the child to split their time even where the father is a good presence in the child's life. What do you do when one spouse lives across the country? You find an arrangement that allows the child to live and go to school and not disrupt their live while also preserving the other parent's access to their child. Sometimes that is difficult to do and in that case the best interests of the child prevails, not of the parent. And yes, there are cases where a father should be granted dual custody and is not. There are also cases where a woman should be granted the same and is not. There is truth to what you said, bias still exists although it is lessening every year. That is scant comfort to someone who is a good father and is denied dual custody. In that case I would petition again and keep trying while doing everything to demonstrate to the court that the parent is in full compliance and that a more equitable arrangement is in the best interests first of the child, and second of the non custodial parent. We don't know that this is the case though. All we know is that he was denied dual custody and that he is angry about it and believes that a man shouldn't have to pay child support unless he has dual custody. And that is patently wrong. Do you believe that an abusive man should have access to continue to harm his child and his ex wife and that if doesn't he shouldn't pay child support? Do you believe that his responsibility to his child ends if he doesn't have dual custody? If you do, that would be a strange view to hold and one that would result in tremendous harm to women and their children. edits: Some of this response was written on my phone. Sorry!

  29. ​ @Mamakiera That's just not accurate. Most vegetables contain anti-nutrients that interfere with our ability to absorb what we need from food. We did not evolve to eat them other than seasonally in small amounts. The fruit we have available to us now has been modified to have more fructose in it. We should not be eating it. It is picked green and shipped across the world. When you pick fruit green it has more oxalates and other anti-nutrients in it. We eat this genetically modified fruit, grown in soil that has been contaminated with pesticides and we eat it all year long. No, that's not what we should be eating. If you can get some organic seasonal fruit that has not been bred for excess fructose, then eat that. Seasonally only. If you have oysters for example you get a lot of zinc. If you have those same oysters with beans and corn you don't absorb any of the zinc. The anti-nutrients in those foods interfere with the absorption. All of the vitamins and nutrients in fruits and vegetables, they're there, but they aren't in bioavailable forms and we absorb it poorly. This is not the case for meat. I'm not saying that everyone has to be pure carnivore but your position that more is needed is inaccurate. I used to think the same way, I'm not faulting you, I don't think you are commenting in bad faith but unfortunately you don't have it entirely right.

  32. This might come across as unkind but the video seemed unnecessarily melodramatic. Not the underlying story but the way it was recounted. I should be feeling empathy but instead I found myself thinking "tone it down a little please." I recognize that the emotions are almost certainly real but the word choice and the overly emotive style did not resonate. This is unfortunate because I think it is an important story and it would have been better if it had been told in a way that didn't cause at least some of the viewers to feel the way I did. Part of it is the editing, the music choice, the tone of voice of the person speaking, the cadence. It is possible to convey emotion without veering into hushed melodrama. Less can be more. Something to consider.

  33. Do you think you might be someone who would benefit from a completely different diet? A carnivore or keto or keto adjacent diet for example? It's really interesting how we can find on this channel and on similar channels diametrically opposed approaches. One approach says no eggs, no dairy, minimal meat eat lots of complex carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables. The other approach says these things are not ideal, we should instead eat grass-fed meat, pasture raised eggs, grass-fed dairy, butter, ghee and stay away from most vegetables and fruit. I think there are people who benefit from both approaches and those who benefit from one but not the other. I wish this channel or other similar channels would go into the question of which approach is best and how can we determine for ourselves which approach is best for us. I guess we experiment on ourselves, we try the first approach and if it doesn't work we try the second. Both agree that added sugars, processed vegetable seed oils and processed food in general are very bad. We all agree on that but beyond that is the correct approach to keep carbohydrates low and do a clean keto or clean keto adjacent diet or is it best to keep meat, eggs and dairy to a minimum and eat lots of vegetables. Dr Robert Lustig says feed the gut, protect the liver and you can do that with either approach. This matters a lot to me because I have sustained a tremendous amount of trauma and I want some of those years back, knowing which diet is correct is very important and like you, I don't know which approach is the right one. It's impossible to get this information from our mainstream medical providers because they are here to prescribe medications and most of them haven't learned anything about nutrition. People like Dr Ken Berry will tell you that there is one correct diet for humans and that diet is closer to carnivore for him. I don't think that's right for everyone. It would be ideal to find providers who can analyze an individual's unique system, their microbiome, their genetics, what they've gone through and based on that determine which diet is correct for that person.

  34. I thought this had to be a satire. "Why would you bake a cake when you can defer to the food scientists at the mega corporation ConAgra to do it for you!" (Cue evil cackling laughter) Then I realized that he is serious. Adam is great with Teflon (hey, it won't give you cancer immediately!) He is just fine with cake mixes and mega corporations and turning your health and well-being over to them. This is supposed to be a cooking channel brought to you from the deep south. I guess it shouldn't be surprising but it is depressing and saddening. Once again. Cake mixes are not food. They are a carefully calibrated science experiment complete with preservatives, artificial colors chemicals not found in food and rancid trans fats. Do not buy them, do not use them. Do not feed them to anyone you love or to anyone you hate. The fact that there are food scientists with degrees who are paid to compile the stuff doesn't mean anything. Remember when big corporations told you that margarine was a better substitute for butter? Margarine is poison and everyone knows this now. Trans fats are uniquely damaging to our health. Remember when sugar was made out to be innocent and fats were demonized? That too is incorrect and the result of a lot of corporate money. Please take responsibility for educating yourselves. Don't defer to a YouTube personality (and certainly not to a large corporation whose interest is in making money not in your health) and if something doesn't seem right, exercise due diligence and find out if it is or is not. And finally, The virtue is in taking care of yourself and those close to you. When you bake a cake from scratch, or cook a dish you are expressing love in action. You are spending your time to research and then prepare something that is delicious and hopefully healthy as well. You are in control of the ingredients, you can find out where they come from and decide to incorporate them or not. You get to decide what's going into the food that you prepare.

It's only when they pretend to have a rational agenda that we have to be concerned. He has outed himself as a troll, there is no need to respond to him any further because it provides him with what he craves, attention.

  36.  @robertphillips93  this channel has a marked vegetarian and vegan bias. That's not a bad thing, you can be healthy on a vegetarian or vegan regimen although it is not ideal for most. I don't mind the fact that they have a bias. I do mind that they present it as impartial science when it is not. I'll take advice from Dr Fung who has helped me lose weight and get healthy. He's science based, transparent, isn't trying to sell anything and he genuinely cares.

  37.  @Lindsay5846  That holier than thou attitude is going to come back to haunt you. Anyone can fall prey to a scam. Why would you think it appropriate to attack someone in such an ugly fashion? Shaming someone who was scammed is counterproductive and plays into the hands of scammers. People won't feel comfortable coming forward when there are those like yourself who stand ready to attack them for making a mistake. Unless you're a scammer yourself, why would you do that? Perhaps you feel that you're superior and it wouldn't happen to you? You aren't and unfortunately it will. Arrogance frequently comes before a fall. Embrace a little humility and compassion for others.

  38. You are far more temperate in response to this video than I was. He's advocating for boxed cake mixes (more than advocating) on a cooking channel that presents itself as a place to learn. People who respect Adam's opinions are more likely now to buy boxed mixes and will justify it by saying that if this guy who runs a popular channel and knows a lot about cooking says they're good, they must be good. He wouldn't steer us wrong, he's an expert, we can trust him. With a platform like this comes responsibility towards the people who are listening. Where someone is making a living by presenting information as reliable they have an obligation to ensure that to the best of their knowledge the information is accurate. I don't think it's reasonable to say that Adam is unaware of the health risks associated with processed foods such as cake mixes. At this point it is common knowledge that hydrogenated fats are extremely damaging to our health. Boxed mixes also contain far more sugar, emulsifiers, preservatives, artificial flavors and artificial colors.

  39. Let's not focus on calories too much. Calorie counting has been the meat and potatoes of the diet industry in the US. It can be a helpful shorthand but ultimately not useful and potentially damaging when it becomes the sole focus. When you eat 120 calories of almonds for example, to quote Dr Lustig, how many of those calories do you actually get the benefit of? 90? The rest is fiber that your gut uses. We are not bomb calorimeters. Different foods are utilized differently by our bodies. We don't get the same calorie value from a food that a bomb calorimeter would. For that reason counting calories can be useful to get a very (very) rough estimate but it shouldn't be our sole focus. Instead We should eat real food until we are full and then stop. It is very difficult to overeat steak or salmon or eggs for example. But it is easy to overeat processed foods whether those processed foods are conventional or so-called healthy vegetarian or vegan processed foods. Don't eat potato chips but also don't eat cassava chips. Most processed foods are engineered to bypass the body's satiety mechanisms. They are made that way on purpose in order to sell more product. Andreas mentioned chicken breast. I wouldn't focus on chicken breast because it is low fat and not enjoyable to eat unless you combine it with other things. The food we eat should be delicious. You should enjoy it so that when you are eating the experience is a positive one rather than a chore. Steak is delicious but when you are full, you are full. If someone offers you more steak when you're full, you become nauseous. But if you are offered a cookie or a scoop of your favorite ice cream you have room because those foods bypass satiety. Intermittent fasting is important for almost everyone. The only people who shouldn't intermittent fast are pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children and growing teens. Or someone with an eating disorder. The rest of us need intermittent fasting. It is what our bodies evolved to do. We aren't meant to eat every few hours, doing so damages our metabolism. I use an app that tracks when and what I eat every day. It gives me an approximate caloric value but the more important part is tracking carbs and intermittent fasting. I won't always use it but for the moment it is helpful and a way to keep myself motivated. Do whatever works for you. If counting calories works, do that. Always remember that whatever the calorie count is it won't be accurate. If it counts 120 calories for macadamia nuts you are actually getting about 90 of those calories (remember the rest goes to our gut, that's where the fiber goes). If it counts 20 calories for spinach you are getting almost nothing. But if it counts 200 calories for a donut, you are getting all of those and then some because of the insulin response. You can do clean keto, carnivore,s vegan or vegetarian with some work. Eat foods that don't come in packages with lists of ingredients. Everything we eat should be spoilable. It shouldn't be something that can sit on a shelf for months or years. Avoid processed foods and added sugars, there are 63 or 64 different types of added sugar in processed food at last count. Avoid pro-inflammatory vegetable and seed oils. Eat once or twice a day and then stop and let your body rest. You don't have to be in ketosis although you might want to be sometimes, the important thing is having the metabolical flexibility to use fat as an energy source. Read Dr Jason Fung's books. Read Dr Robert Lustig's books. Watch good videos. Eat good food. Take care of yourselves and be healthy.

  40. And yet they all checked the box. Every single one of them checked the box. I'm glad they're speaking up now but it would be so much better if legacy students didn't check the box. They probably wouldn't have gotten in without it. I used my privilege but now I want to make sure that others don't do the same. What happens when it's time for your kids to apply and you want to ensure them a successful career? Will you tell them not to check the box? How will you explain to them that you did?

  41. I am a woman attorney also. I agree with your comment wholeheartedly. I've never understood traditional masculinity, if by traditional masculine they mean men who strut around and put women down and feel that they have to be in charge. No, thank you. Traditional masculinity is generally understood to mean someone like Ron DeSantis who, when he was dating, would take a girl out and say that he likes "thigh food" (Thai food) and knows a good place to go for thigh food and then wait for the woman to correct him. If she did, he would end the date there because he didn't want a girlfriend who would correct him. If I was on a date with someone who said he liked thigh food I would run for the hills. It isn't a mystery. We want men who are intelligent, have a sense of humor and possess the ability to learn and change regardless of their income. Men who are genuinely kind and willing to acknowledge what they are feeling. I don't understand why so many men find this confusing. Be a good human. Be a good man. There will be plenty of women interested.

  42. I'm an attorney and curious as to the crime you committed. I am not in any way saying that prisoners deserve to be brutalized. I've lived in other countries where prison is not the same as it is here. Our system needs reform in so many ways starting with the for-profit prison system. But you did not give that information and it stands out that it was omitted. If you hurt another person regardless of the terrible prison conditions you will receive less sympathy from me and I suspect from others. This isn't about poverty and lack of options. Theft is one thing, rape or murder are another. I too went hungry, I have my own story but I am curious as to yours. And before you make any assumptions, I don't work for corporations or the state. I help people who need it often for minimal or no payment.

  44. ​ @jerryjames5701  The fact that someone wants to be able to check the relevant parts of a video when that video is 2 hours long does not equate to them wanting a pill and an easy solution. I have watched the entire video and a lot of it is repetition and not entirely necessary verbiage. Some people don't have 2 hours of their day to dedicate to watching a video. That doesn't mean that they don't prioritize their health. The fact that they're here in the first place suggest that they do. Be less snarky and unkind.

  45. @MrAschiff  as I said in my comment, I am not in favor of vigilante justice. I'm not sure where you got the impression that I am. I clearly stated otherwise but I think it's wrong to not acknowledge why people feel as they do. If it were possible to make change within the system our system wouldn't be what it is. People have tried and failed. I am far from a leftist but I can acknowledge that wealth is concentrated in a very small number of hands. As matters stand, it is almost impossible to create effective change under our system. I stated clearly that I don't know what the answer is, that violence is wrong but so too is a system resulting in tremendous unnecessary suffering.

  46. No, the journalist did not. He came at this from a perspective of her guilt and everything he presented tended towards that conclusion. I don't find her necessarily sympathetic but his approach was flawed. I wrote a longer comment explaining why, you might want to read it. He presented information as facts. The opinions of her father and an ex-boyfriend with an ax to grind are not evidence. They are opinions. The only thing we can assuredly conclude is that she exercised poor judgment, poor judgement, however, is not intent to help ISIS.

  47. Or avoid getting all the ingredients that are in boxed cake mixes. Avoid the hydrogenated fats like the plague that they are - there is no safe level of trans fats in our diet. Avoid the preservatives and additives and artificial flavors and artificial colors. Cake from cake mix takes artificial because it is. We take enough of a hit to our health by eating that much processed carb and sugar, adding to that risk by eating all the rest of the pseudo food ingredients is unnecessary risk.

  51. I love Dr Seyfried but I disagree that a quarter pounder or a Domino's Pizza tastes good. I wouldn't tremble when eating a quarter pounder because I wouldn't eat it. I know that the meat comes from cows raised in concentrated animal feeding operations. I know that the bread is sickly sweet. I know that the vegetables are not organic. And I know that it isn't delicious. I love sweets. I love gelato and I love to bake and make delicious food. But 99% of what I eat is whole foods. If I really want some sweets I will have some but I will make it myself and I will fast for longer the next day. I don't get the idea that fast food is good. It doesn't taste good to me, it tastes artificial and wrong. I love bread but if I'm going to have some bread I want to have some crusty sourdough baked in a real bakery not adulterated with sugar or corn syrup. When we eat real food most of the time we really do lose the attraction to most processed foods. That doesn't mean we lose the attraction to sugar, we don't. As he said we have evolved to seek it out but fast food is not food and I don't want to eat it. When I pass by a McDonald's or other fast food restaurant I don't feel a sense of longing. When I pass by a bakery I do but I can control it. If I want pizza I'm going to make the pizza dough myself and make an amazing pizza. It won't be healthy but it won't be as bad as a Domino's pizza might be. And I won't eat it more than once in a few months.

  52.  @bobadams7654  but I know the benefits of keto or low carb, high healthy fat. It's what I follow. This channel has a strong vegan or vegetarian bias. I'm not against that, you can eat a vegetarian diet and be healthy it's just not ideal for most. It isn't ideal for me. When they present keto or low carb high fat as eating lots of meat and not eating vegetables that's a misrepresentation. For example, I eat a couple of eggs with spinach, cherry tomatoes or mushrooms or some other vegetable and half an avocado. That would be my break fast (not breakfast) meal on most days. I might have some almond flour and seed crackers that I bake myself with it. For dinner I have 3 to 4 oz of wild caught salmon or some other kind of fish, once or twice a week I might have grass-fed beef. With it I'll make oven roasted string beans in balsamic reduction or brussel sprouts, spinach or some other kind of greens. Or I'll eat a big salad meal, lots of different color lettuces, spinach, radicchio, cherry tomatoes, perhaps some cucumber or sprouts, half an avocado, a little feta, and a couple of ounces of some sort of protein. Dressing is always a homemade vinaigrette with red wine vinegar and olive oil, teaspoon of Dijon mustard to emulsify it and whatever herbs I have on hand. Or just salt and pepper in the vinaigrette. That's pretty much what I eat. I fast for 16 hours each day and I drink a lot of water. I eat yogurt a couple of times a week, full fat unsweetened Greek yogurt with whatever berries happen to be available. I'm sure my diet could use some tweaking but I think it's probably reasonable. I wish the keto or low carb high fat community and the vegetarian or vegan community would work together more. I think the two have a lot more in common than they realize. Both avoid fast food, both eat real food, both want people to eat healthy food instead of fast food, processed food, added sugars and processed pro-inflammatory oils. You can eat some animal products responsibly. You can't eat McDonald's or fast food responsibly, it's bad for your body, bad for animals and bad for the planet. We all agree on that, it would be much better if we worked together. I should also acknowledge that one of the presenters on this channel speaks in a way that I find condescending and irritating. That probably affects my willingness to listen. If you still think there is information offered that would be beneficial for me I'll give it another go. Thank you.

  55. That is an extremely condescending point of view. People will not accept help if they feel they are being spoken down to. Wouldn't you resist directions from someone who spoke to you as though you were simple minded? Your belief that seniors are so out of it that for them computers might well be magic is also factually inaccurate. Many seniors are familiar with computers and use them everyday. It also depends how you define senior. Bill Gates, for example, is 65. If you were to look at him you would think he's a typical older person but I'm fairly certain he knows more about computers than you do. Rather than assume a lack of knowledge based on someone's age, ask them what they know and take it from there. The reason Jim is as successful as he is precisely because he doesn't talk down to them.

You are probably already aware of them but if not do a search on YouTube for sugar, the bitter truth and Dr Robert Lustig He's also written a couple of very good books.

  57. BDS makes me very angry. It is anti-Semitism under a different color. There are so many countries out there that treat their citizens terribly. Where you can be killed for being gay, for being a woman driving a car, for being a reporter against the regime, for breaking any one of many unreasonable laws. And yet, it is Israel that we must attack. Israel, not any one of the Arab countries, not Turkey, not Syria, not Russia. But it's Israel because as much as we claim with piety to care about the Jews, anti-Semitism lurks under the surface. Look at ilhan Omar's comments about the Jews hypnotizing people with their money, that's an old ugly foul anti-semitic trope and she revived it blithely. I am a left-wing progressive and a proud supporter of Israel. I lived there for years, and while there are things that need to change the idea that Israel is somehow beyond the pale and must be sanctioned in the harshest ways is utterly ridiculous and indicative of a deep underlying dislike of Jews. I know that I'm going to get attacked for this comment, but that doesn't change the fact that I am right. I deeply wish that anti-Semitism could be a thing of the past. People are very good at lying to themselves about their motives. Claims that the Palestinians are completely innocent and that Islam is a religion of peace, that the Jews are aggressors and bad and wrong run rampant amongst the so-called thoughtful left. There are people who practice Islam who are people of peace. But for the most part the religion is not kind to women nor is not kind to people who do not practice it. Look at the acts of terrorism, are they done by Israelis or are they done by people practicing Islam? I have immense compassion for those caught in the middle, for the people living in Israel who practice Islam and who want peace but those are not the majority. If the people who claim to care so much about Arabs living in Israel, about the Palestinians, were honest they would look for a solution that didn't involve Israel being wiped off the planet and that didn't allow them to vent their hatred and anti-Semitism dressed in the pious clothing of care for another people.

  63. But how is it difficult to simply not eat? You can prepare food for your family and not eat. Yes, life is messy but it doesn't require eating every hour. It's easier to eat when other people do but we don't have to. If we want to be around for our families, if we want to be healthy, we have to teach them good habits and those habits involve not eating as much. There's some validity to what you say, but it can be used as an excuse and we have to guard against doing that.

  64. Citing the American Heart Association does not inspire confidence. The American Heart Association was behind the move to hydrogenated fats and omega-6 fats. In 1948 Proctor and Gamble sponsored the “Walking Man” radio contest with the American Heart Association as beneficiary allowing them to go national with a $1.75 million dollar windfall. The American Heart Association then went on to endorse Crisco and the rest is history. Getting enough Omega 3 fats is not difficult. Wild caught salmon is a great source and one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. Mackerel, sardines, pasture raised eggs, walnuts and failing all of that you can take a tablespoon of cod liver oil every couple of days (or a couple of teaspoons on a daily basis. You can take a tablespoon everyday but you don't want to get too much vitamin A) Put the open bottle in the fridge! Use it within a couple of months. Don't get it go rancid. And cut down on the omega-6. Do not use what the industry refers to as "vegetable oil." Avoid it like the plague it is. If the oil in your pantry came from something that isn't naturally oily, don't use it. If it required hexane to remove, don't use it. I don't use coconut oil because I don't like the flavor, but I do use olive oil. Butter. Duck fat that I have in the fridge from the last time I rendered some. Ghee. Avocado oil in a pinch. There are so many ways to cook salmon. I know it's expensive, but it's an investment in your health. Find ways to cook wild caught salmon and eat it a few times a week. Spend more on pasture raised eggs. Get some high quality cod liver oil if you aren't going to eat salmon several times a week. Try to get a good amount of omega-3s on a daily basis. If an authority has ties to industry, if they are supported in whole or in part by those industries, view their advice with skepticism.

It makes you come across as salacious in a way that is distasteful and off-putting. These are traumatized children.

If by a better job you mean a desk job if he isn't suited to it, you're wrong. When someone does a job they don't enjoy because of societal expectations they become bitter and miserable. Their misery affects their relationship and their partner. You should recognize that you are approaching this from a very traditional perspective, that they are good jobs and bad jobs. You don't respect the jobs that you don't regard as good ones even though they are often more necessary to a functioning society. Carpenters are mandatory. Managers sitting at desks are less so. I am an attorney also, I wouldn't respect a man more for doing the desk job than a physical job. I would respect him more for doing an excellent job at whatever he enjoyed that was useful. If there wasn't enough money in the home then we would have to work together to figure it out but many of the trades make very good money. Perhaps revisit your values.

You would do well to be less arrogant and embrace a modicum of compassion for others. The sneering isn't a good look. This conversation is now at its terminus. Henceforth muted

  70. a a Why? The girl behaved poorly. I found her rant distasteful and there is a lot she is wrong about - but how does hoping she have "her face stomped" address any of that? Why would you have the response of wishing violence on someone you disagree with? It's disturbing that your response to someone's display of intolerance and wrongheadedness is more intolerance and violence. You're making the same mistake, but in your case you're taking it a step further; she didn't advocate physical violence and you have.

There has been success bringing people back and improving their cognitive function on a ketogenic diet, for some it has to be strict carnivore. If you use these as search terms you'll find lots of information on YouTube and articles, books written on the topic.

  72.  @vonsuthoff  I do have a problem with most people owning guns. I was born here in the US. My father owned a rifle and pistol range. I grew up with guns. I lived in another country where guns were common and everyone went to the military at age 18. I understand guns. But in this country where guns are romanticized and mental health issues are legion, guns in the hands of most of the population is a bad idea. Why do most guys feel that they need a gun? Do the majority of them hunt for sustenance? No. They like it because "America" and "Masculinity" and that is the problem. Guns are a tool with one use; to kill more easily than you would with a different tool. Why do many people feel the need to have tools to kill if they aren't hunting? Let's look at the rate of "accidental" death from guns (and at intentional death too) and at healthcare and mental health and all the many issues other countries have resolved far better than we have. As we are right now with all of the ignorance and the culture that promotes ignorance, guns are a bad idea.

  75.  @stryfe0  I don't think you understand. I responded to a comment. I have no difficulty finding good men in my life. You seem to be angry and determined to argue with people in the comments. Here's my recommendation. As an experiment try a different way. Rather than being defensive and perceiving every response as an attack, look at what others are doing and try it. See what it would be like to not jump on others. See what it would be like to take a deep breath and listen to what they're saying. You aren't condemned to be the person you are right now for the rest of your life. Change is possible but it's difficult. I'm not going to respond any further to antagonism because time is limited and there's nothing to be gained from it. You keep saying that women find good man boring but you don't come across as a good man. Spend a few months reading, being humble. Look at men who are genuinely good and successful with women and try to analyze what they do differently. It isn't about wealth. It isn't about height. It isn't about traditional masculinity. I promise you change as possible.

  76.  @chrisd1658  Why would you call someone that kind of name for pointing out that it isn't fun to spend 30 hours and come away with nothing? We aren't in 2005 anymore. Most of us have a life outside of the game. It is not unreasonable to expect to come away with some element of progression after spending 30 hours doing something. Don't be crappy to people please, it's unappealing and unnecessary. I'm also going to point out that reading what you wrote gives the impression of a meme. It's the stereotype of a toxic guy gamer, calling another guy a bitch for pointing out something reasonable. It doesn't make you seem tough and heroic.

  78.  @emh8861  That's not accurate. I understand that's what you have been taught but it's important to be open to information that contradicts what we believe. The fruits and vegetables that we have access to today are not what our ancestors ate. A banana today has three to four times more fructose in it than a naturally occurring banana did even 100 to 150 years ago. Fruit is now bred for sweetness, it is bred to increase the amount of fructose in it. Only the liver can break down fructose. We evolved to eat fruit seasonally in small amounts. Now we eat this extra sweet fruit 12 months out of the year. That is a problem. It's also important to recognize that when we pick fruit green there is more oxalates and anti-nutrients in that fruit. Our ancestors did not pick green fruit and ship it across the globe. When they came across ripe fruit, they ate it seasonally. We eat fruit that is picked green, shipped across the globe, bred for excess sweetness, everyday of the year. Do you see how this is different? The same is true for vegetables. Vegetables can be an adjunct to meals they should not be the actual meal itself. We cannot break down fiber. People with bowel and stomach issues benefit from an absence of fiber. It's also important to recognize that the cellular path that uptakes vitamin C competes with glucose. That means if you are eating carbohydrates you need more vitamin C, if you're not eating carbohydrates you get sufficient vitamin C from the animal foods in your diet, specifically meat. I recognize that you have been taught as I was based on what was commonly understood to be truth. Unfortunately much of it is not. It is outside the scope of this comment for me to go into the reasons for the inaccurate dietary information if you are interested I can point you in the direction of some good resources. All of us react in some way to fruits and vegetables. Some of us can eat them in moderation if we eat them carefully and seasonally. Others cannot. We vary but it's important to be aware of the differences between the fruits and vegetables our ancestors ate and what is available to us now. If someone is willing to take the time as I just did to explain, it would be useful for you to take the time to consider it.

  79.  @Siegfried5846  He is overweight therefore the knowledge he is trying to share is inaccurate? Do you see how that doesn't scan? Why is he overweight? Because he probably eats too much. He has never claimed to be a paragon of perfect diet. He has never claimed that his diet is perfect. And being overweight isn't on its own an indication of ill health. There are metabolically healthy overweight people and millions of thin people who are metabolically unhealthy. That doesn't mean that anyone is advocating for people to be overweight but the fact that he could drop 30 lb doesn't equate to him being metabolically unhealthy. He is a human being subject to the same stressors and temptations as everyone else. He lives in a processed food environment. When you are working hard and busy and stressed it is easy to reach for the wrong food. That doesn't mean that that food isn't bad, it doesn't mean that food isn't poisonous. It is. He is equally able to make the wrong choices as everyone else. And we don't know that he does make the wrong choices. He probably does sometimes, everyone does. It could be that he is eating too much of the right foods and for that reason has gained some weight. I saw a talk where he made clear that he isn't a paragon of perfect nutrition. That doesn't detract from his information being accurate. We can know a thing and not practice it perfectly. The point of his many books, videos, research and talks is to educate people. To try to persuade the government to address the problem of processed food and make real food more available. Poor people in food deserts don't have options. Elderly people in care facilities don't have options. Children who are fed by their parents, who live with their parents and eat what their parents buy, don't have options. Changing the food environment will result in less sickness and greater health for all of us. Your comment boils down to "He's overweight therefore everything he says is meaningless." I'm trying to maintain courtesy because I want you to be healthy. Do yourself a favor, read his books, watch his videos, learn. Edited for clarity.

  80. I felt the same way until he cited Jordan Peterson twice and used clips from him. Unfortunately now I have to unsubscribe and do the work of apologizing to every friend I have recommended the channel to. I can't tell you how frustrating that is. I had no idea that the guy was an alt right apologist. Until this video I had assumed that he was a regular person who did a deep dive into a topic, researched it thoroughly and then presented his audience with what he had learned.

  84.  @krisr3612  Thank you. I felt the familiar surge of hopelessness and dread when I saw his comment. I thought I'd missed something until I realized there was a photo. It is staggering, genuinely shocking to me that this still has to be explained. How is it not intuitive for men to understand that it's wrong to hit on a woman just because he feels like it, anytime, anywhere, under any circumstances? When he asked what's wrong with finding someone attractive, that can't be in good faith, can it? Are there really men who genuinely think it's flattering to women to be constantly hassled and harassed and subjected to this in every single arena? I know this is a small example but it's late and I'm tired and it's upsetting me because it never stops. To the guy who asked if the woman was single, in the event that you read this: It's not flattering. It's a weight women carry all the time, everywhere. Even relaxed watching a serious video, some guy will think he has the right, the sense that what he wants matters more than her right to be left alone. You don't know that woman, you don't know the first thing about her, you don't know her name, you didn't answer the question she asked about playing the video. You saw a picture and decided to hassle her. And it is a hassle, put yourself in the shoes of women. How do you think it feels to always be viewed as an object, as a piece of meat. If you had answered her question and then continued talking about the video, maybe, down the line it might have been appropriate to ask but in the absence of anything else? "Hey baby, nice picture, wanna f***," isn't flattering. It's harassment. There is the not so sub subtext here that if a woman puts a picture of herself up then she wants to be admired and hassled. Why would you think that way? Women don't exist for your entertainment. If you attach a headshot, nothing sexual just a picture of your face to something that is not an invitation. The belief that anything about a woman that is appealing is therefore incitement for men is offensive and insulting to men and women both. Men can control themselves. You can decide to view women as humans, just like you. Please do so.

  85. ​ @kswaid1 what comes first, the chicken or the egg? Is the society litigious because there are issues with our system? What is your personal investment in the system? I'm afraid I'm not wrong. We operate in a for-profit system. The incentives are all on the side of prescribing drugs, performing unnecessary procedures and getting the patients in and out as quickly as possible. The rate of depression and burnout in doctors is sky high, suicide in the medical profession is a problem because many go into medicine wanting to help people. Most doctors start out as good human beings, their impulse is to help, they become doctors and find that they are not able to help their patients. Outside of concierge medicine for the very wealthy, doctors are not given enough time with their patients. The insurance companies control everything, how much time they can spend, what they can do for the patient, and what they cannot do.

  86. It doesn't and it shouldn't and don't buy the product. Jeff is right that pro-inflammatory omega-6 heavy oils should be avoided. The solution to that is not to sell a laboratory created oil, the solution is to eat real food and avoid vegetable oils.

  87. @Eric I think you should post your comment on its own rather than as a reply to someone else's comment so that more people will see it. You made some very good points and as many people as possible should read what you wrote. It also matters where the saturated fat comes from. Does it come from grass-fed beef or does it come from a cow that was raised in a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO). Grass-fed beef and the fat that comes from it are anti-inflammatory. But animals raised in CAFOs are fed a species inappropriate diet, they are crowded together, they get sick as a result of their diet and stress, they are then fed antibiotics to combat these illnesses. The meat from these animals is not anti-inflammatory. It's better than eating processed carbohydrates but it is not ideal. It's important to eat healthy food. Grass-fed beef and pasture raised eggs. I've lived in other countries and nowhere other than in the US do people expect healthy food to be cheap. The only people that benefit from treating animals as horrifically as we do are the corporations. The animals suffer and we suffer too. Support farms that raise healthy animals. Eat real food but eat real food that is ethically and sustainably raised. If that means spending more money, so be it. I would rather eat less than eat food that comes from animals that were treated horribly and in turn create food that is not healthy for us.

  88.  @glenmorse9533  Respectfully, Glen, you are in the wrong and have not thought this through. I know people aren't often persuaded when they are told bluntly that they are wrong but I think in this situation it is necessary. Your basis for trusting him is the fact that he looks healthy and has succeeded in a business endeavor? Please reconsider. If that's all it takes for you to ingest an unproven substance, the fact that the person standing to benefit financially tells you that it's okay and they look healthy, that does not bode well. Jeff is in his 30s, if he eats a moderately decent diet, exercises and gets good sleep of course he'll look healthy. Jeff saw an opportunity in the marketplace. I'll concede that he is genuinely concerned about processed vegetable and seed oils but his answer was not to use his influence and business to encourage people to eat real food. His solution was to manufacture another frankenfood, another ultra processed product and offer it in the stead of existing processed products. Why are you okay with that? Of course, we live in a capitalistic society with hardly any checks and balances, people like him want to make a lot of money in order to gain tremendous influence and power. All of that mitigates against trust not for trust. The CEO of a corporation that manufactures a product is not a trustworthy source of information. He wants you to buy his product. He wants your money for his product. The fact that he is charming and healthy in appearance and affect should not influence your decision. It is proven that real food is healthy for us to eat. Not animals that are raised in CAFOs, not eggs from chickens living in crowded factory farms, but food from animals that are raised in natural conditions. Pasture raised eggs, dairy from grass-fed cows, and meat from grass-fed animals. On the topic of Omega-3 versus Omega-6, meat from pasture raised animals is much higher in Omega-3. When they are grain-fed the meat has no Omega-3 and instead has Omega-6. Why would I purchase and ingest a laboratory created oil when I can eat real food? Avocados are a source of healthy fat, you don't have to use avocado oil you can eat an avocado. Wild caught salmon. Animal fats from animals that are raised in a healthy and sustainable manner. Seasonal fruits and vegetables for those who enjoy them. I'm not going to enter the discussion on carnivore because that's a separate topic and I don't have a lot to contribute other than carnivore works for some people and eating seasonal fruits and vegetables works well for others. I've spent more time than I probably should have responding, I hope you are able to take it to heart and reconsider your position.

  89.  @ShowMeSomething1  Don't take the time to respond to him. He's doing his utmost to get under your skin talking about women not being responsible. He's reaching for any possible argument that he knows is wrong but he's doing it in order to elicit a response. This is the type of man who lays responsibility for everything at women's feet. He doesn't care if a woman uses birth control, his interest is in controlling female sexuality and where he can't control it, punishing it. Avoid men like this, don't argue with them, don't engage with them. He isn't open to logic, if you try logic he'll tell you you're being emotional because he knows that calling a woman emotional is irritating. All he wants to do is annoy you and anyone else. I don't understand why, but it's what he's doing. The only thing you can do is to hope that something will happen to open his eyes. Until then, arguing is counterproductive and potentially emotionally stressful for you. This man is very angry at something or things that happened in his life and he thinks that women are responsible. It sounds condescending to wish someone get therapy but I mean it in different way. Therapy with a good therapist is extremely useful and helpful and I hope he and others like him find their way to help, either through a therapist or through whatever means can assist them. Until then though, it's necessary to not engage because it will only feed their anger and our disappointment. Edit: It occurs to me that this may be how he tries to find women. He'll argue with you, call you stupid, tell you you're wrong and emotional and try to break you down and then ask you out. I very much hope that no women fall into that trap, he's much too angry and potentially damaging to any woman.

  91.  @sailorman8668  Sugar is more of a problem than other carbohydrates. First, only the liver can process fructose, every other cell in the body can use glucose. Simple table sugar is 50% fructose. Much of the sugar added to processed food is fructose. There are at last count 65 different names for added sugar in processed food, many of them derived from fructose. This is a tremendous problem and a primary cause behind the epidemic of NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) in children and adults. Dr Robert Lustig has written about this at length. If you are not someone who enjoys books, he has lots of videos on the topic as well. It isn't simply sugar, it is which sugar and what the body does with it. Of course it would be better to get rid of all of it but one form of it is acutely toxic and crucial to address. When approaching people who are new to a topic it is often better to start with one change versus telling them that they have to overhaul their entire diet. A demand for a huge change is likely to be rejected. I wonder what is behind your attitude. Why would you take the approach that the person you're responding to doesn't understand and only you are there to enlighten them? What is behind the overt condescension verging on outright rudeness? I generally don't take the time to respond to people with your approach but in the interests of clarification and for anyone else reading these comments I will this time. To begin with, my comment wasn't addressing the entire issue, I was responding to something Dhru said. He restated Dr Seyfried's position inaccurately. That is why I did not go into the entire issue with all of its confounding factors. I'll do a little of that now. Most Americans are not metabolically healthy. In the 70s people were eating processed food but they were still eating three meals a day, not eating from the time they woke up until bedtime. Dr Jason Fung discusses this in numerous videos and books. You can eat some processed food as long as you aren't eating it around the clock. It's better to avoid it entirely but in the 70s people ate it and were still generally healthy. Can you eat some pasta? Yes, if you're metabolically healthy you can have some pasta with your salmon or steak or whatever healthy protein you happen to be eating. Healthy fats, including saturated fats are important too. Sugar is okay in moderation depending on the rest of your diet. You can have a slice of cake at a celebration as long as you don't have it at every meal. Americans eat dessert routinely for breakfast. Cereals with sugar in them, Pop-Tarts, pastries, all of the processed breakfast foods, many of them aimed at children, all of these are in effect dessert. The same is true for simple carbohydrates. You can have a sandwich as long as you aren't eating Pop-Tarts or cereal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, low fat muffins mid-morning since you are hungry again (the low fat craze is a factor in all of this) sugar sweetened coffee and sodas throughout the day and then processed food at dinner time. It is the entirety of the issue. Pivoting a moment to low fat, Ancel Keys has a lot to answer for. When President Eisenhower had his heart attack in 1955, Ancel Keys was in part tasked with determining what was behind the problem with the American diet. A lot has been written about the Seven Countries study. To summarize, it was a lot of cherry picked data that confused mild correlation with causation and ignored the many countries that did not fit his hypothesis. The result of the study was our food pyramid with its emphasis on carbohydrates. Keys believed that dietary fat, particularly saturated fat, was responsible for heart disease. He was wrong. His contemporary, Professor John Yudkin, author of Pure White and Deadly did his best to be heard and provided evidence that sugar was the primary culprit. He had written several books on low carb as a means of losing weight and was extremely well respected for a time. He criticized Ancel Keys' study because he knew Keys was wrong and that the recommendations he was implementing were going to do great harm. Unfortunately Ansel Keys had a lot more power and the result of the conflict was Professor Yudkin being relegated to what Dr Lustig has termed the dust bin of history. I'm glad that Professor Yudkin's reputation is being restored, particularly in light of current research. The food pyramid, based on bad research as it was, demonized dietary fat and replaced it with carbohydrates. When you process food and take the fat out you have to put something in and that something is invariably a form of sugar. The result of all of this was a food pyramid that rejected healthy dietary fat and promoted carbohydrates. Processed food was becoming more common and the companies making these foods endeavored to provide people with what they wanted, and what they wanted was low fat. That meant higher sugar. All of this became a perfect storm and led to the mess we have now. People grew up being told to eat every few hours, that this was necessary "for their metabolism." They ate processed foods but they ate low fat! They thought low fat was good but when you eat low fat and high sugar you are effectively on an insulin roller coaster (leading to metabolic disease and eventually diabetes) where you are hungry all the time and eat every few hours. They would eat a low fat muffin or some cookies mid-morning. Then lunch with more of the same, then an afternoon snack, then dinner then a night time snack. All of it low in saturated fat and high in processed carbohydrates and pro-inflammatory vegetable and seed oils. We got rid of trans fats but pro-inflammatory vegetable and seed oils are almost as bad in the amounts they are eaten. And the fact that they are unstable and prone to oxidization is an additional problem. Eating this way has resulted in an epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD, and there is increasing evidence that it is also responsible for the increase in Alzheimer's disease. So much so that Alzheimer's is now referred to as type 3 diabetes. What you seem to be confused about to borrow some of your attitude, is that there have been societies where people have eaten tremendous amounts of carbohydrates and been very healthy. It isn't the simple fact of the carbohydrate, it has to do more with the entire food environment. When you eat, how much you eat, whether the food is processed or not. A person who eats a lot of processed food with its load of fructose, glucose and pro-inflammatory seed oils is not going to be someone who can healthily eat a bowl of rice or cereal because their carbohydrate load is already too high. They are already metabolically sick. I ended up spending more time on this than I had planned to. I also edited out a lot of the irritation I felt at your condescension. If that was your goal, to provoke, you succeeded but I'm not sure why you would want to do that. What do you gain from it? Perhaps next time you might consider that the person you are responding to does indeed know what they are talking about and instead of sneering you might ask a question to clarify.

We had a malicious white nationalist as president and he emboldened his supporters to kill terrorize and commit mayhem. Ignoring it won't make it go away, only addressing it will.

I think though that the first dress - the very light fabric that is extremely form fitting isn't entirely appropriate for a teacher. There is a big difference between "sister-wife" attire and the very first dress that they showed. There is an intermediate area - a very large intermediate area. Wear something comfortable and attractive, but perhaps avoid the ultra skin-tight thin material.

  96. This is good advice to a point. Beyond that it becomes victim blaming. If you aren't manifesting the things you want in your life, it must be your fault for not having the correct subconscious and conscious mindset. This kind of interview is a necessary balance to the way we think today but it is possible to take it too far as indeed this interview does. You cannot alter everything in your life through your mindset. There are realities of life that cannot be altered simply by thinking "correctly." This brings to mind a book called The secret that was very popular a while back. A lot of mystical right thinking that has been used to blame people for the problems in their lives. You have cancer, it must be because you're not manifesting health in your life! No, let's not go this route. By all means reprogramming ourselves to get rid of bad habits and to bring positivity into our lives is good. But some realities are not susceptible to positive thinking and pretending that they are is an excuse to not make greater societal change.

  97. Yes and no. He's right on the money with regard to the dangers of highly processed grain and seed oils but he is not on the money with regard to his solution, a laboratory created product called cultured oil that he is here to sell. It's interesting that you would say right on the money because that's the point. He is here to make money. Don't buy his product, don't use his oil, don't use vegetable seed or grain oils particularly highly processed ones. Instead eat real food. Butter, ghee, avocado and olive oil in moderation assuming you have access to products that are not adulterated and animal fats from animals that are pasture raised. There is no need for a new franken food, he's here to make money.

It is also a problem that a man has to have a military background in order to be taken seriously when he advocates for love over war. If you didn't have the background that you do, they would look down on you and call you an ugly term, the one guys like that use to denigrate women or men they perceive to lack sufficient bravery. These are the same people who view crying as something only women do. Who themselves have been damaged emotionally and continue to perpetuate that cycle. I tried to have compassion for them because they are victims also but at times it is very difficult to hold on to that.

We have a problem in the US with racism and gun culture. Whether he should have been disciplined for declining to participate in a school activity is a different question. Violence against a child, resulting in real world consequences against that child cannot be the answer. Ever.

  102. It doesn't matter that he looks healthy, that's a terrible reason to trust someone or to consider purchasing a product. He's right that highly processed vegetable and seed oils are very unhealthy for a variety of reasons. His solution though? His solution is to manufacture another franken food, he calls it cultured oil and he claims that it is much healthier than any other processed vegetable oil that comes in a bottle! Maybe but why would anyone replace real food with another laboratory manufactured pseudo food? Eat real food. Don't eat foods that are manufactured in laboratories. There are great sources of fat there that have been proven healthy such as butter, ghee, olive oil and avocado oil in moderation assuming you have access to an unadulterated source, animal fats from animals that are pasture raised. Eat those sources of fat and leave the bottled oils behind including this newest entry that Jeff is hoping to become very rich from selling.

They said ""No need to explain technical terms, computers are magic to them." This is extremely condescending. What is an "old" person? Someone who is 50? 55? 85? At what point is it okay to speak to someone as though their age equated to them being simple minded such that technology is "like magic" to them? No, sorry. Let's not talk to older people as though they've lost their wits as soon as they hit 60. Or 70. It's possible to offer a simple and straightforward explanation to a panicked person without going that extra mile and assuming that because they are older we should "keep things extremely (extremely!) simple" and that there is "no need" to actually explain anything to them, after all "computers are magic to them." How do you not see the ugly condescension in this? Reading that comment again I feel the same way I did when I first read it - dislike and distaste for anyone who would make that kind of blanket assumption about people based on age or any other characteristic.

  106. No, we aren't lucky. We will be lucky when the United States joins the rest of the developed world in providing health care for everyone. Preventative care. So that a person doesn't have to be sick or dying in order to be seen in an emergency room. Healthcare for everyone is cheaper but most Americans have no idea because we are fed propaganda. The United States spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country and yet we have the 13th or 14th result. Ahead of us are all of those European nations that provide basic healthcare for all of their citizens. We spend far more and our results are worse.

  107.  @critter4004  I had to edit my comment to you several times because your response made me so angry. Who are you to sit on high and judge another person with so much smug self-satisfaction? You don't know anything about that individual's life or nutritional background. You took a comment someone made in pain and you turned it into an opportunity to feel superior. You "simply" avoided tooth decay by not eating sugars and starches. The word simply does a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Avoiding the need for dental care is far more complicated than simply avoiding sugars and starch. If an individual doesn't get adequate dental care when they are a child, that can set them up for a lifetime of problems. Tens of millions of children do not get adequate medical and dental care in the US. There are many factors other than diet. Two individuals eating the same healthy diet can have vastly different dental situations. I have to go to the dentist every 6 months, my best friend goes once in a decade with no ill effects and I eat a very healthy diet. As for eating sugar or starches, you should be aware that brushing your teeth immediately ameliorates most of the bad dental effects of these foods. I'm not advocating for eating sugars and starches, they should be avoided for other reasons, but when they are eaten, brush right away. Your comment embodies so much of what is wrong in this country. Blaming another person for their misfortune without any knowledge of the circumstances while feeling superior for "simply" making better choices. I'm going to make a suggestion that will probably seem alien to you. Even if they had all of the information, even if they had received exemplary care as a child and willfully ate grains and sugar, they should still not have to suffer rotting teeth and the inability to chew. Healthcare and dental care should not be for-profit industries. I've lived in other countries where everyone receives basic medical and dental care. Our taxes pay for roads, the postal service, schools, police and firefighters, the necessary and essential services we share as a society. In every other developed nation and in some that are not healthcare is understood to be a necessity just like roads, bridges and schools. What differentiates you from the person you responded to? Luck of the draw? Education? Opportunity? All of the factors in a person's life that contribute to making them who they are. If you work 12 hours a day in a warehouse, you're probably not going to have time to educate yourself on what to eat. You might not have access to those foods or time to cook them. By the time you get to the age of 60 and have struggled your whole life, your dental health may just not be exemplary for many reasons that were never in your control. We don't prioritize education. We don't prioritize the well-being of the people who live here. Profit is the only concern. Industries with a vested financial interest actively fight against the public being made aware of how bad their products are. Do you remember Coca-Cola's advertising campaign where they said that all calories are the same and the only important thing is the number of calories, as long as you don't eat too many calories Coca-Cola has a place in a healthy diet. They outright said that there's no difference between 200 calories of broccoli or salmon or Coca-Cola. They knew that wasn't true but they still ran with it. And they got away with it. The tobacco companies still sell cigarettes. The processed food corporations maintain staffs of thousands whose job it is to formulate foods that will be uniquely addictive. Remember Lay's potato chips? "Bet you can't eat just one!" that give away the game up front. These foods are manufactured to bypass our satiety mechanisms. They are made to induce overeating, calories that provide no nutritional value and do significant damage. And they are all sold and marketed to those who are most vulnerable. You are lucky that you were able to educate yourself. You understand that sugars and starches are bad for your health and bad for your teeth. You probably have enough time to make good food. You might have had a baseline of dental care or were able to get it for yourself or happened to luck out and never need it. Do you think that only those similarly situated to you deserve to be healthy? Do you really believe that it is as simple as avoiding sugars and starches?

This is not someone will change in the absence of a significant life event. I feel as sick and angry as you do. You don't need a stranger to tell you this but you did fantastically well. You raised children on a minimal income and you did it all yourself. I hope you feel very proud of your accomplishments.

  111.  @bugsy1254  I agree, I'm not sure where people are disagreeing on this topic though. When we stop eating processed foods when we stop eating every few hours, when we eat meat and avoid carbohydrates, the visceral fat disappears quickly. Some movement is also good.

  112. Why does this start with watching some guy peeing for 30 seconds? This is only a minute or two in and it doesn't bode well. It is a serious topic. I don't understand how the first minute of the video where we watch a presumably naked guy in the bathroom peeing helps convey the seriousness or anything in the message. * It's been explained that he wasn't peeing that a bucket was shown at the very start. I'm still not clear as to how this helps with the story. The water/ bucket/mimicking peeing doesn't do anything for explaining the overdose that changed his life. If anyone has an explanation or a point of view as to how it does further the story I would be interested in your perspective.

  113.  @pendlera2959  I'm not relying on any industry-funded research to tell you that hydrogenated fats are damaging to your health. Nor am I relying on industry-funded studies when I tell you that processed carbohydrate does damaging things to your body in comparison to healthy fats and protein. You can look up Drs Jason Fung and Robert Lustig. I'm not sure why you would throw a red herring like this out there, but maybe I misunderstood you, and if so I apologize. I would absolutely not rely on safety studies by the FDA where food additives are concerned because it is the cumulative effect, the aggregate effect over a period of decades that we are interested in. Is some food additive that is routinely put in processed food safe in a small amount? Possibly, but we don't know what it would do to your body over the course of 30 years or if you eat lots of processed foods that we already know is detrimental. Processed fast foods are damaging to your health for lots of reasons that are beyond the scope of this comment. The FDA has found a lot of things arguably safe leading us to the current standard American diet, the worst we've ever had and arguably the worst in the world. Diabetes, cancer and other at least in part avoidable diseases are attributable to our diet. It's an interesting conversation if people can come at it without preconceptions.

  114.  @danyalraza9707  I'm sorry, that doesn't make sense. Of course you're going to be fasting while sleeping, how would you not be fasting while you are sleeping? In order to get 16 to 18 hours of fasting most people find that not eating earlier in the day makes sense because when you wake up your body is not primed to be hungry, you have been using stored glycogen and fat overnight. You may notice that if you're hungry when you go to sleep at night you are not hungry when you wake up first thing in the morning. This is because the hunger hormone, ghrelin is low in the morning. There will be exceptions, but generally this is what most people do because it makes sense physiologically. What did you mean when you said fasting while sleeping, was it a typo, what is the research you were referring to?

I'm glad she is watching YouTube and keeping up with everything that is the key to staying healthy, being engaged and challenging yourself intellectually.

  117.  @maryhumphreys2931  probably the carnivore people generally speaking. Plants contain anti-nutrients, eating some plant foods in moderation is probably fine for most people but most modern fruit has been bred for excess sweetness, for more fructose in the fruit. We evolved to eat fruit seasonally and now we eat it 12 months of the year.

  118. @Vijay Make yourself some bone broth. The next time you cook a chicken, roast it. Put the entire carcass, bones, wings, pieces of fat anything that's left over in a ziplock bag and put it in the freezer. When you have enough bones, usually at least one whole chicken worth, I generally will do two or close to two, put it in a big pot with water covering by a couple of inches, a tablespoon of vinegar, I usually use apple cider vinegar. A tablespoon of whole peppercorns and a tablespoon of salt. I usually do two tablespoons of salt but see how you like yours. Cook it for as long as you have time. People will go for 6-8 hours, some will leave it on a low simmer for 24 hours. I usually use my instant pot and I'll cook it on high pressure for 2-3 hours then let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes then vent it and let it cool before straining. Do not skim the fat off as it cools. I usually put it through a strainer with some cheesecloth get the peppercorns and any little particles out. I let it cool and ladle it into mason jars, or smaller jars, then I put them in the freezer and use them as needed. You'll have some calories from the pure fat but they won't make your insulin go up. I did a 46 hour fast last week.. I had some homemade chicken bone broth, water and one cup of coffee each day with a tablespoon of heavy cream. This isn't pure fasting for religious reasons, but it will drop your insulin flow and let your body access fat. Having a hot cup of homemade chicken broth can make a huge difference. It does for me. I hope this is helpful for you. You can do the same thing with beef bones, people buy grass marrow bones at the supermarket or from their butcher, roast them golden brown in the oven and then put them in the pot of water. The step of roasting will increase the flavor tremendously. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. We are all here to help each other.

  119.  @oakstrong1  I get what you're saying but there is frequently a tendency on the part of vegetarians and vegans to demonize and or misrepresent keto/ low carb, high fat. They often misrepresent it as being lots and lots of meat when it isn't. Some of the videos on this channel have shown that tendency, a very strong vegetarian/vegan bias. For that reason I took the comment at face value. I'm going to watch the whole video, I'll give it a chance. You're right, it's not a religion and it shouldn't be taken that way. Also vegetarians and low carb, high fat people have more in common than otherwise. They differ on the topic of animal products but they don't differ on avoiding processed foods, processed grains, added sugars, artificial sweeteners, processed vegetable and seed oils that are very high in pro-inflammatory omega-6, and eating real food. They differ to an extent on what comprises real food. I eat eggs from pasture raised hens, dairy products from pasture raised cows, wild caught salmon and a limited amount of meat from grass-fed cows. But I also eat a lot of vegetables, greens, avocado, berries and a limited amount of organic beans and legumes.

  122. Matt McDonald Do you understand that democratic socialism is not the same thing as "socialism?" If you don't, please read up on it. The things we regard as necessary in our country are "socialist" in nature; free public school, paved roads, the postal service. Services we regard as necessary under the social compact - things that make it possible to have a functioning society. Capitalism has to be tempered with democratic socialism or it falls under the weight of too many with nothing. You can't have so many of the resources and so much of the wealth concentrated in the hands of .5% of the population. When you do, it destroys democracy - the few end up controlling politics and education. Decisions get made to benefit their interests, not yours. This doesn't mean the end of capitalism but it does mean checks and balances on it, and protections to avoid the continued funneling of resources into the hands of the very few.

  125. How many things does Trump have to do out in the open to convince you? Can you imagine if a Democratic president had a scam to bilk people and called it a university? Think for a moment what would have happened if Obama had done anything like that. Put aside your partisanship and be honest. The Democrats have their flaws but as a general rule they aren't blatant criminals. Trump has talked about sex with preteens his entire adult life. One thing that changed, thankfully, was as a society we no longer allow men to leer at 14-year-olds, to have sexual relations with teenagers, without repercussions. How much proof do you need? What additional information do you want? Do you want to talk about the pandemic? Do you want to talk about him telling a reporter on the record, literally recorded, how dangerous coronavirus is, how deadly it is and the same day, repeatedly the same week, the same month, again and again telling the American public that it's a scam? Do you understand that the deaths of 200,000 people are directly attributable to his actions, not only to inaction but to the things he did to convince his base and those without critical thinking skills that the pandemic wasn't really a danger. He said it's like the flu, not a big deal, it will disappear on its own when it gets cooler. He said this while simultaneously telling Bob Woodward that he knew how dangerous it was. Then when caught he says he's a cheerleader for the country, Would you tell a patient that you had a suspicion of them having cancer and make them panic? No, you wouldn't want them to panic but neither would you tell them to inject bleach or that it will go away magically when the weather gets colder or that it might just be a cold and isn't a danger or that it's actually scam and doesn't exist at all? You would take the proper precautions. You wouldn't panic the patient but neither would you give the patient blatantly bad advice and tell them to ignore it. And why did he do this? People would have died in this country anyway but not close to the numbers who have died now and will continue to get sick and die. and before you say that it's mostly old people are mostly sick people, yes a disease will kill older people and sick people but tens of thousands of others have died also. Do you view older people as somehow dispensable? I don't. We are starting to learn more about the long-term effects of the Corona virus. We now know that those who have recovered have damage to their hearts, residual inflammation and scarring 6 months after recovering from a mild case. Think of the billions of dollars in healthcare this will cost over the next 10 or 20 years. All of the lost life, human suffering and tragedy caused by his knowing and willful decision to lie to the country. I am afraid for people who can't see past something that is horrifically screamingly obvious. It is as though there is reality and somewhere else, I don't know how to help or reach through and that makes me very sad. It also makes me frightened for the future of the country.

  126. ​ @gaurav2k Please just stop that's not what anyone is saying. Fruit comes packaged together with the naturally occurring fiber that slows down the absorption of the fructose. You can have fruit in moderation. Seasonal fruit in moderation is fine if you are metabolically healthy. The issue is when you take six or seven apples and you make apple juice. You can't eat that many apples because of the fiber, but you can drink an amount of fructose that is significantly larger when you juice them. That's why apple juice is not good but eating an apple is okay. Fruits have been altered, changed to increase the amount of sugar in them. Try to get natural fruits, organic fruit that is not bred for extra sweetness. When you have some fruit have it with a healthy source of dietary fat and protein to slow the absorption of the fructose down further. Ice cream and cake are not naturally occurring they are concentrated. You can have a little ice cream or cake occasionally as a treat the problem is that people in the United States and in the UK eat what is essentially dessert at every meal and for every snack. You can have a little bit of processed sugar as long as you're eating real food, unprocessed food 95% of the time. If you have any questions I'll be happy to try to answer them.

  128. The rush to judgment is wrong. Too many commenters are basing their assessment of her on the things her father and an ex-boyfriend said. Their statements regarding her character are not credible evidence. Her father says she was rebellious as a child, of course she was rebellious, they were Jehovah's witnesses. Most of us would be rebellious in that situation. Her ex-boyfriend talked about her liking cars and motorcycles, many people like cars and motorcycles. But it's presented as being suggestive of an inherently flawed personality. She talked about being tortured in an ISIS jail under suspicion of being an American spy. That was substantiated but the interviewer still portrayed it as suspect. The little boy who was purchased as a slave regarded her as his surrogate mother and said that she was very kind to him and that he wanted to be near her. The girl who was purchased as a slave, said that Sam told her she wouldn't be a slave and that she would be treated as a daughter. She viewed it as a rescue. The girl said that Moussa beat Samantha and abused her. The fact that Moussa also raped the girl cannot be held against Samantha. If you blame her for bringing the girl into their home, consider what had happened to her until that time and what would have happened to her in other households. It was and is a horrible thing, but Samantha was acting out of compassion and wanted to help. She also substantiated the fact that Moussa beat Sam to the point of screaming. And her son Matthew referred to Moussa being violent and mentally unstable. Every point the interviewer raises, talking about her story unraveling and viewing everything with suspicion, each one of those points can be explained. She made a very poor choice in getting together with Moussa but that doesn't prove that she intended to help ISIS. All that it proves is bad judgment. We don't know how much she knew about where they were going. She was married to the man, she had a child with him and at that point she probably trusted him. With respect to the videos the interviewer raised as though they proved certain guilt, it is entirely credible that she didn't pay much attention to what they were watching. It's reasonable that she went shopping or did something different while he was watching videos with his friends. The culture that he came from doesn't encourage men and women socializing together. It would have been viewed as odd for her to sit with them and watch whatever videos they were watching. The part of this that I find most objectionable is the interviewer's approach. Frontline generally does an excellent job but here there is the building of a case with each piece of information presented as more damning evidence. However, when you look at it, each point can be explained. But when she tries to explain, he presents it as though she is lying. By the time you reach the end of the video you're ready to lock her up and throw away the key. At the end the interviewer tells us that she is lying, that she won't accept her guilt but he puts her in untenable position by asking her to say something that contradicts the terms of the plea agreement. She can't do that, if she does the plea agreement could be withdrawn. I don't know if she is guilty, I don't know what she knew or when she knew it. We know that she exercised poor judgment. We can say for certain that she should have known things that she might not have known due to the kind of relationship she was in and the culture of the man she was married to. She shouldn't have been willing to move money illegally, but this is something that many people do and it doesn't prove intent to support ISIS, it proves bad judgment. I've written this not because I find her to be sympathetic, but because I found the interviewer's approach to be lacking in objectivity and unnecessarily condemnatory. It is wrong on his part to offer hearsay and opinions from people who have an ax to grind as solid evidence while viewing her explanations as suspect and instructing the audience to do the same.

  130.  @glenmorse9533  Thank you for the lovely response. I did put time into it because I don't want anyone to eat a laboratory processed oil over healthy real food. I'm also a sugar addict in the sense that I love ice cream. I bake too, I usually don't eat what I bake but I still love making delicious things for people to eat in moderation. I believe that Jeff is trying to do something good when he warns against the dangers of pro-inflammatory vegetable and seed oils. But I'm not convinced that his laboratory created alternative is a lot better. It might be better than processed pro-inflammatory oils but better yet avoid all of them. He stands to make a lot of money from people adopting his alternative. I hope it ends up being healthier but I would rather he put his time into educating people and promoting real food. How is carnivore working out for you? I was thinking about going in that direction based on everything I've been reading.

There is so much that is wrong in your comment and the surge of anger it elicits from me can't be overstated. The programs you cited are insufficient for the needs of most. The majority of those who need healthcare simply cannot afford it. Given your comment, you're not open to reality, so spending time explaining it to you is a waste of my time and will only lead to more anger and frustration. I should have just muted you and not responded.

  133. I had gotten to the point where I had unsubscribed from The Young Turks. I had found some of the stories to be without credibility or exaggerated. This story, however, restores some of my faith. My reaction to it was the same; the woman went down on him twice and gave him nonverbal cues that she wasn't interested in having further sexual contact rather than simply saying no and leaving. There was no indication that he was forcing her or pressuring her or being in any way intimidating or frightening. For her to attempt to ruin his career and his life with this story is terrible and outrageous. Should men be more sensitive to women, of course they should. But women have agency too, if I don't want to have sex with you I'm going to say no and leave I won't let you take my clothes off I won't go down on you twice and I won't let you do the same to me. If he had pushed her or threatened her or pressured her or done anything to suggest force I would be one hundred percent on her side but he did not. She didn't verbally express herself until the very end at which point he backed off and called her a cab.

  134. "The unborn' are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn." Methodist Pastor David Barnhart

Not addressing that is a problem.

  140. We desperately need Medicare for all. We need to push for it, it's a priority. It should be the first priority along with feeding people and housing them. There are political realities though and pushing in the wrong way will result in more delay. Not acknowledging that is an error. That doesn't mean that we should continue to accept the system as it is, we should change it. Not slowly, not incrementally but real change. However, this has to actually happen and screaming and cursing at people and pushing for things that won't happen will set us back further. No one wants to hear about political realities, but they exist. AOC is getting things done, she's pushing and accomplishing things and taking a tremendous amount of heat and ugliness while doing it. Attacking her is disgusting and yes, probably misogynistic also. Real change is harder and more complicated than a guy shouting curses at other people on zoom. Even through the frustration and the rage at how horrifically unfair and wrong the system is, getting things done requires navigating that system.

  141. Is there any protein in the potato salad? Do you eat any protein with it? That's part of it. If all you're eating for lunch is potato salad then it is not ideal because you're getting a lot of carbohydrate. If you are otherwise metabolically healthy, and you know you are metabolically healthy for a certainty, eating potatoes occasionally is fine as long as you eat them with some fat and protein to slow down the insulin spike. That is a very general answer, everyone differs and a lot of it depends on how often you eat, how many meals a day you eat, whether you do intermittent fasting, whether you eat protein with your potato salad, how often you eat potato salad and a host of other things. Generally having some potato salad occasionally will be fine if you are metabolically healthy.

I feel hopeless and sad and angry and I want to understand why people are so horribly anti-Semitic. It is an age-old disease that springs evergreen from the soil. It doesn't matter how good Israel is, it doesn't matter how hard Israel tries to avoid civilian casualties, it is always judged by a standard no other country or group is judged by.

  144. No it isn't. Low prices, low wages, low quality items. Unhealthy junk sold cheap with huge corporate profits. What do you do when you get sick from the cheap stuff? You don't have health insurance, so you get sicker and poorer. No, Walmart is not good for America. It's not good for anywhere. No company should have this much power and influence. It leads to a disproportionate voice in politics and a resulting lack of regulation.

  145. By radical left, you mean people who believe that we are all equal and entitled to the same opportunity? The radical left, you mean those who think that healthcare should be a human right, that a living wage should be paid for a full-time job? That radical left? in this country I guess you might call that radical. In every other nation on the planet that would be the center. Please push your agenda somewhere else. The issues that we have will not be resolved by ignoring them or pretending that it is the fault of the so-called radical left.

  152.  @barbarafairbanks4578  I'm sorry this information is not entirely accurate. There is no benefit to eating early in the day. Naturally we have no desire to eat in the morning as our ghrelin is at its lowest then. You can eat a protein forward meal at 1:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. There does not seem to be anything suggesting that it is necessary to eat heavily early in the day. If your body is not hungry it is telling you to not eat. Forcing yourself to eat a protein heavy breakfast when your body isn't interested in food is wrong.

  155. I have a problem with this story. Ana starts off by saying that it was "somewhat consensual." It wasn't mostly somewhat, it was entirely consensual. Matt Lauer was wrong to hit on this woman, she however was leaving - he had no further direct power over her career and she did not have to agree to the sex with him. Not that day and not going forward. Was he manipulative, yes. Was she star-struck and flattered as she has herself described, also yes. When we call stories like this abuse we take away from the millions of cases where real abuse has occurred.

  157. Don't be an a jerk. Why are you watching animal videos if you don't feel that kind of affection?

  158.  @darkdragon1194  I think you are intentionally misunderstanding. When we talk about control with regard to making something at home, a cake in this case, we mean that we can control what goes into it. We control whether it has hydrogenated fats or emulsifiers, artificial colors, preservatives, stabilizers, artificial flavors and other additives. If you mean control in the sense of standardization then yes every box of a specific cake mix will have the same ingredients.

  159. It is deplorable behavior but the problem is inciting rage and hatred and dehumanizing them.

  162. Why would you want to adapt a lower fat diet? Healthy fats are what we are meant to eat. Likewise, salt is a problem. Fats are only an issue when they are eaten together with highly processed carbohydrates and sugar. You can happily eat an entire avocado, or half an avocado and a couple of pasture raised eggs cooked in butter. That can be your brunch and then 6 hours later you can have a light dinner before starting your 18-hour fast for the day. We really don't have to learn to love plain broccoli. It is genuinely fine to enjoy butter, cheese, eggs, wild caught salmon and so on. This is entirely unreasonable. Yes, salt makes your food taste better. He is advocating for food to taste worse so that people eat less of it. No, we are meant to take pleasure in eating. It is entirely possible to enjoy your food and not overeat. It is possible to cook good healthy food and enjoy it responsibly. If you overeat, well then you do a longer fast. Dr Jason Fung addresses this very issue. He went on a cruise with his family, he ate with his family and found himself eating too much. He got home and he did a fast for a week. As humans we have evolved for feast and famine. It is okay to enjoy what you are eating and then it is equally okay to not eat. We don't have to be gray. We don't have to exist eating tasteless joyless food less we enjoy it and eat too much of it. This entire discussion is depressing, I'll stick with it and revise this comment if appropriate.

  163. Please get rid of the sunglasses. This is my third and last comment on the topic. For background, I'm an attorney and I've helped people with public speaking. The sunglasses detract from your message for reasons explained below. A basic rule or tenet of rhetoric and persuasiveness requires the speaker to connect with their audience. Reflective sunglasses prevent that personal connection because it puts you at a remove. They create distance and are a barrier. In order to be at your most persuasive, the audience needs to see your eyes, to see emotion and truth on your face. Big reflective sunglasses prevent that. You're a good speaker, erudite and well spoken. You choose your words well. But the reflective sunglasses are not serving you. I don't know if you think they set a vibe for your target audience, but if you are looking to connect with anyone who is not a young male they are doing more harm than good. Edit: I had asked in prior comments if there was a vision issue and nobody spoke up. If indeed this is the reason for the reflective sunglasses, disregard everything above. ** For those of you who feel the need to respond with an attack, what is the problem here? I'm offering suggestions to increase his audience. How does that make me the enemy in your view?
    5
  164.  @SWTmel  Sure but my interest is in promoting what he says and getting it out to more people. We need more voices especially from younger black men. If there's a reason for the sunglasses, if he has a problem with his vision then of course continue wearing them. But this is the third or fourth video of his where he is sitting in a car with the same sunglasses on. I think he thinks it sets a cool vibe. It really doesn't though and to my view it detracts from the power of the video and the message. Thank you for being courteous. We can disagree on something and still understand that we're on the same side.

  165.  @berryhomchas  No, I'm really not. I know you think that your snark is clever, it isn't really. If it gave you a chuckle though, then I guess that's valuable. The point was that we on the left give them on the right ammunition that we don't have to give them. It was not a rape, let's save that word for cases where it genuinely is a rape. And before you assume that I'm some unaware guy, I am neither.

  166.  @pinacolada1393  thank you for answering! I had to have braces and a lot of dental work as a result of having a couple of teeth pulled that shouldn't have been when I was a little girl. I try to get a lot of omega-3 in my diet from pasture raised eggs, pasture raised beef, I try to eat wild caught salmon a couple times a week. I bought a bottle of Carlson Norwegian cod liver oil but I haven't opened it yet. I'm afraid of how bad it might taste. I floss and use a water pik and I try to maintain very careful dental health. When I do eat sweets and it is very rare, I brush my teeth immediately afterwards. I'm going to try your ideas, I appreciate you taking the time to answer, was very kind of you.

  167. How about we not refer to an entire group of people as the Karen? If you're black you don't want to be referred to by any epithet or group term that is derogatory. I'm pretty sure that white women don't want that either. There's so much that is wrong here and it extends beyond a white woman attacking a black woman.

  168. Okay, stop. I was with you until you started to excuse what ilhan Omar said. She did engage in anti-semitic tropes. That is a problem. Whether she did it knowingly or not is a separate question. She apologized, it is resolved for the time being pending any additional statements, but please don't pretend that it wasn't an issue when she said it. The fact that other people do bad things doesn't excuse her doing bad things simply because she is a a minority herself.

  169. If this is a serious comment could you explain why? What is behind your support? I genuinely want to understand because where I live there are very few people who support Trump. It's not an issue of Democrat versus Republican, I think it is basic common sense and a desire to prevent more deaths and save the country. I know some Republicans and none of them support Trump. I have serious ideological differences with these people but we are in agreement with regard to Trump. If you could take a moment I want to understand why you are supporting him. If you just here to troll, then sure go for it but I'm not sure what you're getting out of it.

  170.  @stupidkitty84  I get so tired of internet idiots voicing opinions that are unwarranted. I have donated $257 to the Sanders campaign. I make phone calls and I canvas in the Seattle area on his behalf. I've spent over 100 hours volunteering. I voted for Sanders in my state primary in 2016 and for him here this month sending my early ballot in. You have no idea what I mean, you're twisting it because you're a small ugly troll. I don't know what the content of their conversation was, and Warren has a history of being honest and never lying. So does Bernie. In this kind of situation I'm going to assume that there was a misunderstanding in the absence of additional information and you would do well to do the same. Take your stupid memes and idiotic ideas elsewhere. I get that "concern troll" is the current thing that small-minded idiots like you enjoy throwing around. It does not, however, apply to me. I'm not concerned, I'm going to look at the evidence and make a judgment on that. The fact that you see what she says as snide speaks to your stupidity and sexism, not to anything else. Do not bother addressing me in response with anything other than courtesy. Do you volunteer for the Sanders campaign? Do you donate money? Have you given more than 100 hours of your time? No, I don't think you have because you're an Internet troll who gets off attacking people who are actually doing the work. Edit: To anyone reading this who feels that I got too heated, too angry. You might be right but it is very difficult to hold your temper when someone accuses you of something that is unwarranted and incorrect. He isn't the first one and I'm sure he won't be the last.

  172.  @Mrlazerpoint  I'm not surprised at the two responses. The disparaging comments seem to be consistent with your preferred sense of humor, attacking anyone who disagrees even if done in a fairly mild and respectful manner. Take a step back and ask what message that sends. You watch this channel suggesting that you are ostensibly left leaning. I am too. The difference between us is that I think and try to adhere to the values you proclaim as yours. It's not okay to suggest that Peterson covets his daughter. Sexual so-called humor of this nature isn't funny, it's stupid and intentionally offensive. There is plenty about Peterson and his daughter to criticize, there is no need for the snickering sniggering innuendo. When you come across something you disagree with, why do you default to a personal attacks? With respect to your comment, I'm quite grown, grown enough to be able to make jokes about Peterson, who is utterly ridiculous and a bad faith actor, without suggesting that he wants his daughter. This kind of humor weakens the point and it makes us look ugly. Why would you assume that I wasn't grown or that I needed to grow up? Because I said something you disagreed with? Do you see the problem with this approach? When you react the way you did, you portray the left as narrow and intolerant. Anyone disagreeing is to be attacked. The other guy below you was even more direct. He simply said "f you." If I found something funny and you disagreed I might be interested in understanding why. After understanding it I would be free to reconsider or agree to disagree. It doesn't make me hopeful to encounter reactions like yours. We (correctly) view the majority of those on the right as intolerant and narrow minded, unwilling to think and grow. It's disheartening in the extreme to find the same behavior on our side.

No, they won't be coming for your job but having everyone and everything gets stupider and stupider is going to make your job more difficult. Don't be glad for them, I think it's probably correct to be sad for all of us. Depressing take but probably accurate.

  175. And you should educate yourself rather than spewing venom in the comments. You are wrong and you're ignorant. I'm not sure how you are comfortable with that. It would bother me tremendously to be in your shoes. It would keep me up at night. But you don't care, nothing a stranger says on the internet will phase you. You are content to continue saying the wrong things, believing the wrong things because you are invested in that. Perhaps you should take some time to confront yourself and do better.

  176.  @ladypoetess  This is a perceptive comment and you are probably right. That unfortunately doesn't change the fact that it was difficult to watch. I think they could have conveyed the intensity of it without being so heavy-handed. If your audience is rolling their eyes rather than empathizing you aren't accomplishing your goal. Or maybe you are? It was everything, the choice of music, word choice, tone, it all veered into melodramatic territory. For me that detracts from real empathy.

  177. He is indeed the butt of jokes, I think that was what you meant? It also makes me question Seth's politics, he seems to be a strong proponent of the mainstream Democratic party. Bernie Sanders will get my vote again in our state primary and I hope he is democratic party's nominee.

  179. Cenk, generally speaking I enjoy the show when you're on it. We have similarities in age and background, I'm an attorney too, and I've made the journey from more conservative to progressive liberal. I don't expect that you'll read this comment but I wish that you would, because I think I speak for others also when I say that you would be far more enjoyable to watch if you'd tone down the schtick a little. I can see how pleased you are and how much fun you have when you do it, but it times it veers into cringe-worthy. Perhaps you think that it is appealing to your millennial audience, and while I can't speak to that, I can tell you that for me and others I've spoken to it is not. The suggestion isn't that you refrain from it entirely, your personality is fun and should shine through, but if you could reduce the frequency or the excess, I think you'd be happy with the results in terms of increased viewership.

  182. When someone starts a video by saying I'm kind of confused they're being disingenuous almost by definition. You're not confused at all. Within 10 seconds of the start of this video I formed a dislike for the guy. The wide-eyed "should I be afraid" and odd emphases struck me. He repeats the "I'm confused" line a few times. "Huh, what? I'm just so confused!" No, you're not. You're a 34-year-old man who calls himself Johnny, a journalist and contributor to the NYT and Vox. You aren't remotely confused. Why not make videos with a more genuine approach? The faux wide-eyed gosh I'm so confused thing is distasteful. It's not just that, the music, the rhetorical devices, all of it was subpar and not what I expect from the NYT. I guess they're trying to reach a different audience but I can't imagine who this appeals to. Who is the audience that is both interested in politics but also finds someone like this appealing? That isn't turned off by the disingenuous approach, the wide-eyed pretense? I don't know if an audience like that exists and frankly I hope it doesn't.

  183. Serious question, why do you do this? You post something that you know is incorrect in order to get a rise out of people? You've insulted people, you've been rude, I don't understand the point. What do you get out of it, is it a rush of some kind? I genuinely don't understand. You're wrong on the facts, but I don't think that's what motivates you.

  185.  @ChareForce  I think you're confused. It isn't surprising, our system breeds a black and white approach that benefits no one. I would recommend you go back and read what I wrote. Not what you think I wrote or what someone else wrote but actually read what I wrote. I am not advocating for our system, to the contrary. I am not an apologist for the system. The crime does matter. When someone posts a lengthy comment seeking empathy and understanding and they leave out what they did, that is a red flag. Does anyone deserve to be brutalized? No. Is the criminal justice system broken? Yes. Is the for-profit criminal system horrendous? Yes, it is. Would I have less empathy for him if he raped someone or did violence to an innocent? Yes, I would have significantly less empathy. Two things can be true at once and I am doing my utmost to remain courteous in the face of your inappropriate comment. Again, two things can be true at once. The criminal justice system and the prison system can be deeply in need of reform and a human rights violation and at the same time I can say that I would have less empathy for someone if they committed violence or harmed an innocent. My recommendation is that you develop critical thinking skills. I recognize that I am being condescending but your comment was both inappropriate and irritating. Our prison system is abhorrent but at the same time people who commit horrendous crimes may forfeit the right to my empathy. That doesn't mean I won't advocate for them. It doesn't mean I want anyone to be brutalized. But not providing that information is a red flag. Ignoring that and pretending that the crime doesn't matter is not good faith. Why would you pretend that stealing is the same thing as child abuse? Or that taking food if you're hungry is similar to rape? They aren't the same. The fact that he didn't include that information bears questioning. The fact that you are conflating me making that point with anything else suggests that you are intentionally approaching this in bad faith.

  188. The gender expression of women is not long hair and long nails. What a ridiculously reductive way to look at it. I was born a woman and I am a woman. I don't have long hair or long nails, why would I want long nails? They get in the way of everything. I use my hands. I'm not a decorative object, I'm a woman and it doesn't detract from my femininity in the slightest not having long fingernails. I'm disappointed in this channel for coming up with something that reductive. The gender expression of a woman is whatever she wants it to be.

  190. +Elisa Garcia I agree with you and so do most others commenting here. It is wildly inappropriate and very uncomfortable to see them behaving in a way that they would correctly call out if anyone else were to do it. The fact that these girls are offensive and behaving stupidly is beside the point. It is inappropriate to leer at them and to speak of spankings. If it is inappropriate to behave in this manner toward "nice" girls then it is also inappropriate to behave this way towards these girls. There is plenty to say about them without turning into leering creeps.

  191. I disagree. Think of how you would behave as the wife of the first black president - all the racism and the rush to delegitimize him and her both. With the right claiming that your husband isn't a citizen, with your life under a microscope far worse than any other first lady. With people claiming that you're not even a woman. No, I disagree; she has behaved with grace and courage, she is strong and genuinely cares. Please don't get swept up in an excess that causes you to not see the things that are good.

It's the same technology that has been used for decades with other vaccinations. It isn't remotely untested.

  197. Really good analysis, thank you for adding it. I loved this movie when it came out but had some problems with it when I rewatched it a few years ago. I thought the acting was good. The first time I watched it I remember being riveted. It felt emotionally real. I'll watch anything with Sanaa Latham or Gabrielle Union. I think your comment about her wanting balance or her awareness of the possibility of not having it by only pursuing basketball and that dampening her enjoyment of basketball was perceptive. Even though she's been pushed to be more feminine and give up what she loves, she doesn't allow it to push her too far in the other direction. I've never liked how the movie made her pay a price for her ambition. When a woman has ambition in a movie (or in most media and arguably in life) and succeeds, there's always going to be a scene where she is broken down in order to show the audience that in the end, she's still just a woman and not a threat. Valuable, but still only a woman. The scene will humble her and not so subtly convey to the male audience that they don't have to worry. Worse, it teaches us to expect to be humbled, to expect to pay a price for our ambition and success. Monica is exceptional, she's smart, driven, ambitious and talented. Initially I had written that because this movie was made 22 years ago, it had to humble her to reassure the male audience. Unfortunately I think that would still happen.

  199. I don't think you understand what the flag represents. You can't worship the symbol that stands for freedom, it's the freedom itself that matters. You respect it by honoring that freedom and protecting it. Taking a knee in peaceful, respectful protest is honoring the flag and what it represents. Please try to learn more about these things rather than engaging in a knee-jerk reaction that dishonors the very freedoms that you think the flag stands for.

  200.  Daniel Rodriguez  That doesn't mean anything. There are always going to be people who have been programmed by the society around them to think bad behavior is what they should expect and even enjoy. Like when a woman smiles when men wolf whistle at her on the street or teachs her daughter to think that it's her fault if men harass her. And it doesn't matter if she does indeed find it flattering. It isn't. It's harassment. If you luck out this time it doesn't mean that the behavior is correct or that you get a pass. You're not right, you're wrong. Behave better. You'll find a lot more women will find you attractive if you do. Don't do it for that reason, do it because it's the right thing to do.

  203. The excess fat is what keeps you healthy. If you're eating lots of lean protein and not getting sufficient amounts of animal fat that's the problem. Fat doesn't make us fat, carbohydrates do. My A1C was 4.4. I don't go out of my way to eat lots of fat but I do eat it on the steak, I use butter with my eggs, full fat cheese, occasionally some full fat yogurt obviously without any sugar added.

We are past that point or we should be. There is no longer a need to grab our guns and go off to war behind the strong male leader. That is a staple of not very well written fiction, historical. It wasn't entirely accurate than it certainly isn't an accurate now. Also women go to war also. Welcome to the 21st century.

  208. ​​ @michelerenem  Why do you feel it is appropriate to be unpleasant and judge someone for what you perceive to be their lack of a drinking problem? Each of us is different. It could be that for her two drinks a week was enough to have an effect. Why did her comment irritate you so much that you felt you had to respond to shut her down? What about it bothered you so much? It's great that the video offered information that caused her to make a positive change in her life. That is a good thing. Instead you responded unpleasantly and scolded her for daring to speak about her experience because you didn't deem it sufficient. Who made you the judge of how bad something has to be to warrant positive change? I've read where you responded to someone else, you said that you drink a whole bottle of wine and that you have a real problem and she doesn't. Is it your belief that only those with what you judge to be real problems have the right to comment? This comment section is for everyone. You should be celebrating the fact that someone else avoided a more serious problem. She feels better, that's a good thing not something to scold or judge.

  209. There are other videos that provide that information but if you want a summary I can give you one. Avoid UPF. UPF stands for ultra processed food. If it comes in a plastic wrapper and has a paragraph of ingredients, if it's in the center aisles in the supermarket it is probably not food. Ultra processed food is not food. Eat real food. Grass-fed meat, eggs from pasture raised chickens. Wild caught fish. Organic fruits and vegetables. You don't need a lot of fruit in your diet. A little bit is fine. Dairy if you are not intolerant to it but always from grass-fed cows if possible. The reason we want grass-fed dairy and grass-fed meat is because they have omega-3 whereas meat raised in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) where they are fed grain and not able to graze is pro-inflammatory. A couple of eggs in the morning with butter made into an omelette with some vegetables or cheese. Half an avocado with lemon juice squeezed on it and salt is delicious. That's a good sustaining meal. For dinner 4 to 6 oz of grass-fed beef, pasture raised chicken, fish, any meat that is raised healthily. Some vegetables, a little bit of carbohydrate if and only if you are metabolically healthy. If you've been eating processed food, fast food prepackaged food stay away from grains for a while. Intermittent fasting is good for most of us. A pregnant woman or nursing mother or a younger person still growing do not have to do intermittent fasting but the rest of us benefit from it. Letting our insulin levels drop is healthy because it allows our body to burn stored body fat. There's so much more information but I'm trying to offer you a summary so you can decide what you need to learn more about. The most important thing is to eat real food and avoid packaged foods, processed foods, fast food and foods with pro-inflammatory oils in them. Eat healthy fats. Healthy fats are animal fats that come from grass fed animals, olive oil, butter from grass-fed cows. Do not eat canola oil, or any of the other ultra processed oils. They are not stable and they are pro-inflammatory. Some good resources are Dr Jason Fung, Dr Robert Lustig and Sten Ekberg is also useful. They are all here on YouTube. The first two are medical doctors and Sten Ekberg is a chiropractor. Dr Fung and Dr Lustig both have written books. I would start with Dr Robert Lustig's video on sugar, if you look for it here on YouTube search for Sugar the Bitter Truth. It's a good introduction to why sugar is so dangerous and inflammatory. It's an older video but the best possible introduction. Read labels. Read labels. Read labels. If you see items in the list of ingredients of any food that you don't recognize as food, don't eat it. Familiarize yourself with the over many different names for added sugar. If a food has added sugar in it, generally avoid it. There are some exceptions but it's a good general rule. The reason they don't just list foods to avoid eating is because people learn better when they understand the reason for something. If you genuinely understand why something is damaging or dangerous you are much more likely to avoid it. You don't get that by just being told don't eat this, do eat that. It's worth putting the time in to learn and understand. This is the most important thing you can do for your health. Take the time to read and research and learn. If you have any specific questions I would be happy to answer them.

  210. Is there a reason you don't eat meat or eggs? Or do you and did not list them? I eat pasture raised eggs from chickens that have the freedom to forage and spend time in the sun. I don't eat a lot of meat but I will eat it once or twice a week, 3 to 4 oz portion, grass-fed free range. I don't eat meat that comes from concentrated animal feeding operations. I won't eat it because the animals suffer horribly and I don't want my money to support that. The fact that it is unhealthy is also important, both matter. Treating animals well, letting them eat a natural diet and giving them room to graze and be in the sun results in a better life for them and healthier food for us. Do you eat any dairy? Unsweetened full fat yogurt from grass-fed cows, for example? It's expensive so I don't have it every day. I spend more on healthy food but I eat less and less frequently. I still love to cook and bake but I bake much less frequently. I have a sweet tooth that I indulge occasionally but when I do, I make sure that when I'm eating is as healthy as it can be. Congratulations on doing the right things for yourself. I hope your example inspires others in your family and friends.

He does not need you to ride to his defense. Why are you writing as though he needs to be defended? How am I the enemy for wanting to increase his visibility? Take it down a few notches. There was nothing in my comment that was unpolite or unkind. I don't disagree with the content, to the contrary I think it's important and I want him to be able to reach people. Reflective sunglasses detract from the message as I've explained above.

  212. I don't understand Adam's approach to many things. He advocates in favor of Teflon and here he supports cake mixes with all of the garbage that is included: preservatives, chemicals bleached flour, all of the things that are extra damaging to health.

  213. A couple of things. Canibus is a unique rapper who deserves recognition not "Canibus was a rapper that deserves recognition." Who is always used to refer to people. That is always used when talking about inanimate objects. He is a person therefore you would use who, not that. Second, he's not dead. The guy is 48 years old he is very much alive, no need to use past tense. Is, not was.

  216.  @solomonsalsberg5961  Hi Solomon, what kind of cuisine do you cook? I was interested in becoming a chef but I went to law school for various reasons but primarily to protect people. I love cooking and baking though and learning how to do that healthily. I think the key is to not use pro-inflammatory oils at all and to try to avoid cooking in such a way that they become overheated when they are used. Ghee is an option. It's a wonderful cooking fat that many Americans are not familiar with but I have learned to appreciate. We can make our own ghee at home, it isn't difficult starting with a quality butter..For low heat cooking butter is terrific. Avocado oil has a high smoke point. When we start using peanut oil or canola oil we get into the realm of ultra processed that are ideally to be avoided. There are good animal fats that can be purchased here from grass fed animals. And there are some high quality cold pressed oils. I don't use the same oil more than once. But I don't run a restaurant and I don't deep fry anything. I think people are interested and would be even more interested if they knew how dangerous pro-inflammatory oils are. Unfortunately in this country people expect cheap food and they want it available fast. There is a problem with education and the corporate interests that benefit tremendously from selling these foods aren't interested in people knowing how bad they are. Please don't say blah blah no one cares. I don't think it's a lack of caring so much as a lack of knowledge. Those who have that knowledge have a responsibility to share it and that includes you too! Particularly as a chef.

  217. It's more than that. We have a responsibility to treat other living creatures with decency and kindness. Pasture raised eggs are healthier for us and they taste better but as important is the fact that the chickens live a better life. It's a win-win. Happy, healthy chickens make better eggs. The idea that monetary profit is the only value, that extracting every last penny is the most important thing regardless of the harm done to the chickens (and all the other animals) and to our health is ridiculous. It's difficult to understand how anyone ever thought that would be the right way forward.

  218. Imagine for a moment how different this would have been if the people on the other side had been black. There would have been a lot less concern about not losing human life. There would have been a lot less restraint. And if anyone says this is not true they are lying to themselves.

  221.  @marcya4428  Why would they "lie" about what? When you check the box indicating that you are a legacy student you do so with the knowledge that this will almost ensure that you are accepted because the university wants to continue to benefit financially from your family. If you feel very strongly that legacy admissions are wrong, and they are, have the courage of your convictions and refrain from taking advantage. They did not. They checked the box, got into ivy League schools that they probably would not otherwise have been accepted to. It isn't lying to refrain from taking advantage of unearned privilege.

  222.  @dedreik9982  I don't think the person you are arguing with is willing to understand what you're saying. He is too invested in believing that if someone is hungry it must be due to some lack on their part. I wanted to add more because I had responded the same way and then saw your response, but it's late. Keep trying to share good information. Even if very few are open to thinking about it, it will make a difference. Slowly, but it will make a difference.

  223. I can try to answer this question. The way Ken pronounces the last name is close to a word he would be familiar with. It is common to native English speakers who are familiar with Jewish American or Israeli culture. Please note that I am summarizing, Jewish culture is not monolithic, varying tremendously by country and religious practice. Briefly, there are different ways to practice the religious part of being Jewish. The three primary categories are reform, conservative, and orthodox. Secular Jews, those who are Jewish by identity but who do not go to synagogue or keep kosher are a large group. There are many commonalities that span the different categories. This is one of them. Hava Nagila is a song that older Jewish people are familiar with and have taught their children and grandchildren. It is played as a folk song in Hebrew in Israel and also in the United States. People dance to it at weddings and other celebrations. It is my guess that he pronounced the name this way because it was easier and seemed more familiar. The other possibility is a word that sounds very similar to what Ken was saying. It is used to describe a way of styling hair where the hair is wrapped around a woman's head to straighten it. This is more in Sephardic culture in Israel. While I was watching this I had the same thought about the name, and I wondered about the pronunciation.

  224. I think it was condescending. She's talking about someone in his 50s as though he's some ancient geriatric relic. The guy is in his '50s. He looks older because he does a lot of drugs and probably doesn't take care of himself but the "Oh aren't they cute! Look at the old people doing drugs" is not a good look. These are people just like her, a few years older. Treating them as though they are exotic and cute is not appealing.

  227. The problem with this approach is that it can be used to invalidate patients and essentially tell them that it is all in their mind. You were abused as a child? You were tired and stressed? Well, that debilitating pain that you suffer from, that's coming from your mind. It's real, sure but it's really just in your head and you have to figure it out. That can be tremendously invalidating. Every time medicine makes progress and discovers a new approach that approach becomes the hammer and the problem becomes the nail, in other words that approach becomes the only approach instead of becoming one of a number approaches. This doctor operates under the assumption that chronic pain is in your mind. For some people it may be and for that reason this approach is a good one but if you apply it as the one tool to solve all chronic pain problems you're going to continue to do more harm than good. All you had to do, all you needed was to have compassion for yourself when you were in your twenties and it's amazing! The pain disappeared! Yes, that is amazing. It isn't entirely believable. For some that might be the case but applying this to every case of chronic pain does patients a disservice. Some elements of this approach are probably applicable in most cases but treating it as the one and only way to solve this problem, that in itself is a problem. It should be part of a suite of approaches tailored to the specific patient.

  228. I don't agree with this. A police officer's job is difficult. when an officer tells you to move back, don't give him or her an argument, don't stand up to them just because you have the right to. Why would you want to intentionally provoke an officer who is in a situation? I am not justifying lying or bad behavior on the part of a police officer. What I am trying to do is point out that this is more nuanced then the video suggests. I do give more leeway to a police officer. Not to be abusive or to misuse their power or to lie but with the understanding that theirs is a uniquely difficult and stressful job. If you are asked to do something and it doesn't harm you, do it. There is more nuance here because the person in question is black and I understand that that adds additional elements to it.

  229.  @kst157  I think this is why you're being met with hostility. You are unwilling to acknowledge the validity of an obvious point of view and you keep coming back with additional comments. I've already said the conversation is over. I tried courtesy but you don't seem to be interested in that. The point being made was that Jonathan comes across as out of touch and condescending. Grocery prices are soaring, people are struggling to keep food on the table. If you want to offer advice, frame it in such a way that you are relatable, rather than lording it over the poors. A smug middle class white man sitting back and smilingly making an analogy about bread and wine is not relatable. Please note that I will not see any further responses as you are now muted. You would do better to be open to the views of others, double down less, think more. When people try to explain something to me, even if they seem wrong, I try to listen on the assumption that they might have something useful to say.

  233. Why would you say something like that? You can't imagine why any self-respecting Hispanic would vote for Trump? No, friend, we can't imagine why any self-respecting human being would vote for Trump. Uneducated people who don't have critical thinking skills are white and Hispanic. Black and brown. They come in every color and religion. Then there are those who vote for him knowing how bad he is because it is in their narrow self-interest or they believe it to be. I think it's more appropriate to say I don't know how any self-respecting white person can vote for Trump because he doesn't care at all about working class people, white black or Hispanic.

  235. Speaking as someone who is 10 years older than you and 10 or 15 years younger than her, I can see both sides. There is a tendency among the young of any generation to assume that they know everything and that the people who came before them weren't working hard enough. You have no idea what it was like to try to practice law as a woman in the '70s or the '80s or even before that. I think we would get along better if both sides would accord the other more respect and the presumption of good faith. And Ana, you are belittling her. Think for a moment what was like to be a black woman in the industry trying for atypical roles in the 80s. She did do a lot for women who came after her and if you would accord her a little respect she might be willing to come closer to our side. That said, she can be ridiculous also. There is no one in this situation with entirely clean hands.

  237. This is a video about this specific population, why would you feel left out? Do you work cleaning offices at night? Are you able to speak English well and communicate? Are you an immigrant, legal or otherwise? If you're not, why would you feel left out of the conversation? Of course it doesn't happen to people of color only, but the video is about this specific situation which predominantly happens to people of color. It happens to people of color because they are easily taking advantage of. These are women who don't speak English well, who lack familiarity with the legal system, who come from countries where women often have fewer rights. They are easy prey for these and other reasons. That doesn't mean that other women aren't also raped and harassed. If there is one constant in our society it is that women, regardless of social status, are treated badly. If this were a video about your specific situation would you be open to every other group commenting that it doesn't represent them? Can every video represent everyone at the same time? How can a video about poor Hispanic women working working the night shift cleaning offices be about you unless you are in that group? Based on what you're saying it's not valid to ever talk about any specific problem if it doesn't include every other group and every other problem. Attention to their specific situation doesn't negate or diminish yours or anyone else's. Why would you feel that it does? In an ideal world we would want to work together, we wouldn't begrudge attention given to one group nor would we view it as coming at our expense. Your perspective is zero-sum, the gains of one group come at the expense of another but it isn't another group, women are women, all of us together.

It's not a question of disagreement. It goes beyond that.

  239. I stand with Douglas but I am not a right-winger. I would have considered myself to the left in the past. I believe in universal healthcare. I lived in Israel for 12 years and there is universal healthcare there. I believe that if a society can afford to feed and house its citizens, it should do so even if those citizens make poor decisions. That's what I believe. I think we have to help each other. But I also believe in merit. People who are willing to work hard should be able to excel and enjoy the fruits of their labor. I can believe both of these things at the same time. Universal healthcare is necessary. Most European countries have it, Israel has it, Canada has it, the US doesn't and that is a problem. I don't like some of the mockery on this channel but I will continue to support the channel because it stands for Israel and generally aligns itself correctly. There is so much ignorance on the left. They chant from the river to the sea and they have no idea what river and what sea. There are 2 billion Muslims in the world and barely 15.2 million Jews in total. Jews make up 0.2% of the world's population and we are the oppressors? No, I am no longer a leftist. I will continue to believe and support universal healthcare and greater opportunity for everyone. I guess that makes me an independent for now.

  240. Except for the fact that many of his questions were silly and put Dr Fung in the position that having to gently push back. I don't see the penetrating questions you're referring to. The interviewer seems willing to learn though, so he gets credit for that. There are better places to listen to Dr Fung, he has a series of lectures based on the obesity code, Google that. The obesity code lectures, why we gain weight part 1, that will take you to the first lecture in the series.

  241. This is what happens when healthcare is a for-profit industry. What has to happen here for people to understand that healthcare should never have been for profit? I've heard the argument that doctors won't stay and work in the US If everyone has health insurance. That simply isn't true. Doctors in countries with universal healthcare make a good living. I lived in two countries with universal health care. In one the base salary for a newly fledged doctor was the equivalent of $130,000. That is a very decent salary for someone starting in their career. Bear in mind too that there is no student loan repayment in that country. When you factor that in, the starting salary is closer to $150,000. The other country had a similar starting salary, slightly lower but offered additional incentives. We don't blink at the idea of our taxes being used for the maintenance of roads and bridges. We expect a good education at public schools and we use the postal service every day when our mail is delivered. We expect the fire department to respond when there is a fire and police to be there in an emergency. Most regard these as essential services, necessities that everyone helps pay for. Why is healthcare any different? Universal health care was almost a part of the Social Security Act of 1935. President Roosevelt was accused of a lot of things, including attempting to foist a socialist plot upon the country. A plot to ensure that everyone gets healthcare and that most of the money you spend will actually go to care rather than to insurance companies. Imagine the United States being like every other nation, where people don't have to decide between paying their electric bill and buying medicine or trying to decide if they can keep going with an abscess in their mouth. Healthcare for everyone isn't charity or a free ride. It is an essential service, a necessity, just like infrastructure and school, police and firefighters. No child should have the teeth rotting out of her mouth because her parents work in a warehouse instead of a desk job. Look at the punitive undertones, so many of us believe that if you don't go to college and get the right kind of job, you deserve a lesser existence, you deserve to lack things like basic dental care. Examine that belief If you share it or any part of it. If a job needs to be done, if it is worth it to the company to hire a person to do that job on a full-time basis, they deserve to have their basic needs met like anyone else. We live in a society. Unless you are off the grid, you rely on those around you as they rely on you. We share rights and responsibilities and in a healthy society people understand that everyone benefits when people get what they need.

  242. It is time to cancel my subscription. Of late TYT has increasingly veered towards pandering to a group that I - and they for that matter - don't belong to. Hiring another strident, angry (yet telegenic) contributor is more of that pandering. This is unfortunate and it makes me genuinely sad. I've been a supporter and contributor for years but I do not want to support an organization that is turning into the Fox news of the left. I've watched Nomiki Konst twice display contempt and a truly stunning lack of professionalism and then get cheered for that same behavior. Jordan condescends to anyone older than 40 and is intolerably self righteous. There are other examples. When we support and cheer this kind of behavior we make ourselves into the thing we are supposed to be fighting against. I understand that it's hard for TYT to resist this trend; but I do not want to be part of it and had hoped they wouldn't either.

  248. Unfortunately this guest doesn't know a lot about the metabolic processes relating to being overweight. Surgery is not appropriate nor is it necessary. For anyone who has weight to lose, a ketogenic or carnivore diet with intermittent fasting is the way to lose the weight safely, reduce your body's set point and increase overall health. It isn't expensive, no drugs are involved and it is the way we evolved to eat. Get rid of the processed food, the carbohydrates and the pro-inflammatory grain and seed oils. Eat real food to satiety once or twice a day and then stop eating. If you are currently eating the standard American diet, if you are currently eating lots of processed food phase that out first. The first question as to whether obesity is genetic is irrelevant. Some of us are more predisposed to hold onto the energy we consume but it's irrelevant because all of us can be lean and healthy. Those who have a predisposition to putting on weight more easily have to be more careful. But everyone should eat differently. In the United States, in the UK, in all the developed nations we are experiencing an epidemic of obesity, cancers, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's and all of these things are directly attributable to our experiment in diet. People get 60 to 70% of their calories from processed food. We eat around the clock. We eat far too much carbohydrate, far too much concentrated sugar and not enough protein and fat. We evolved to eat and then not eat. Eat real food once or twice a day until satiety and then stop. You do not need to eat breakfast, it is not the most important meal of the day. Breakfast comes from the word break fast, you can break your fast at 9:00 a.m. or you can break it at 2:00 p.m. the idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the day comes from cereal manufacturers, it is marketing, nothing more. Growing children need more food than adults, for them breakfast is advisable. For the rest of us it is not necessary. The idea that saturated fat and fat in general makes you fat has always been erroneous. Ancel Keys did a study involving 22 nations and then ignored the data from all but seven when it did not support his hypothesis. Carbohydrates make us fat, dietary fat does not. Our brains are made of fat and cholesterol, limiting those foods does nothing good and a lot of harm. Eat eggs in the morning if you want breakfast. Don't snack. Let your insulin levels drop. When our insulin levels are high our bodies cannot access stored fat. Insulin inhibits lipolysis, insulin interferes with the burning of body fat. The fat you store on your body is nothing more than food for a rainy day. Let that rainy day come. Intermittent fasting, longer term fasting, these do not reduce your muscle mass, they reduce fat. Caloric restriction reduces muscle mass and results in your body burning less energy. When you try to lose weight with caloric restriction your body responds by burning less energy, your body interprets that as starvation. The body does not respond that way to intermittent fasting. It is beyond the scope of this comment to go into detail but if anyone wants more information respond and I will give more resources. There's so much information on this that I could share, so much knowledge that your guest seems unaware of. It is irresponsible, Andrew, to have a guest like this who doesn't have a background to expound on the topic he knows very little about. He seems worst in how we respond to obesity but asking him questions about how we become fat and how to get rid of fat is beyond the scope of his knowledge.

  250.  @mesagtshom9648    Thank you. It has been very difficult. I feel that I don't have a home politically anymore. I believe in healthcare for everyone. I lived in Israel for 12 years and there is universal health care there. I still believe in more equality of opportunity. I believe in tolerance. I don't think anyone should go without food or shelter even if they made mistakes. Equality of outcome is not possible because people are different but more equality of opportunity is important. Jews on the right stand ready to welcome us but they support Trump. I can't do that. I can't embrace a delusion. Trump doesn't care about Jews or Israel or really anything other than lining his own pockets. Some of the things he says are easily as anti-semitic as overt anti-semites. He talks about Jews in Shakespearean terms, Shylock is his stereotype for Jews. He talks about us as "killers" in business and says you never want to borrow money from a Jew, hahaha! It's horrible. He doesn't want to convert or kill Jews or push them out of Israel but his beliefs are almost as bad. I can't support that. Who do I support then? Where do we go, those of us who value true liberalism and leftism? I don't have answers to these questions but it has been a difficult few months. When I catch myself saying that I recognize that it is much, much more difficult for those living in Israel. I want to go back and help but I recently had knee surgery after an injury and would be a burden. I donated several hundred dollars, that's what I could afford. I write on medium and try to educate. That's what I can do from here. I feel sad and frustrated that I can't do more. Every few days I have to take a break because the sheer burden of ignorance is exhausting. In the comments here there are people saying that Islam is a religion of peace and it's all Israel's fault. That has to be willful ignorance. Religions of peace don't kill those who differ from them. Women under Islam have no rights. If you don't wear the hijab correctly, if you're not completely covered you can be beaten or killed. So called honor killings are common, a young woman looks at a man or dares to flirt or have a relationship, she can be murdered with no repercussions to the family. In many Arab countries if a woman wants to leave her home she needs the permission of a male guardian. How is that acceptable to anyone? It stuns me that LGBTQ people support Hamas, under Islam they are all thrown off the roof, that's a best case scenario. Rape and torture frequently happen first. Islam is not compatible with Western values. In the United States Protestants don't murder Catholics, Catholics don't bomb Buddhists. We might harbor some prejudices that are not ideal but our values are tolerance and acceptance of people who are different. That is not the case in Muslim nations. Under Islam, Muslims have an obligation to convert others to the true faith, that's how they view it. In the Quran there is a responsibility to convert people, peacefully if possible and if not then by the sword. How do those who support Hamas not understand this? There are almost 2 billion Muslims in the world and 15.2 million Jews. Muslims have 22 countries, we have a tiny scrap of land surrounded by our enemies and we have come to the table again and again in good faith for peace. I'm sorry, I've gotten on at length. I understand what you're feeling, truly I do.

  251. I just subscribed to this channel a few days ago on the basis of a different video. When this popped up today I thought I would listen to it. A couple of minutes in he says that anyone who has difficulty with a smiling no is probably a narcissist. That is far too broadly stated. When you make that kind of statement so early on in a presentation you create in the viewer a sense of doubt as to the reliability of the speaker. It may be that many who react that way to a smiling no are narcissists but the problem with that statement is a lack of proof or substantiation and the fact that it is far too overly broad. Unfortunately at that point I did not want to continue to listen. If this is what your interviewee opens with, I wasn't sure I wanted to see where else he would go. It is dangerously faulty reasoning. Having him state with full assurance that if an individual reacts in a specific way to a situation, we should conclude that he is a narcissist is terrifying.

  252. @Starry Eyes  If you're being serious then there's a huge difference. An abortion affects the woman who has it. Failing to get a vaccine and then being in public where you can infect others potentially affects everyone around you. We have lost 900,000 people. So many of these deaths were unnecessary and preventable. We have a very serious problem in the US. Neither party prioritizes education and critical thinking. Both parties manipulate and lie, the Republican party much more so, true, but the Democratic party is so beholden to big business interests that it doesn't do the necessary things to protect the masses. Spend the time and do the research. Don't get your information from Joe Rogan or Facebook or your friends. Just because something is in an article or a video doesn't mean there's any truth to it. If you're convinced of something, spend the time to research outside of your information bubble. The things we read and listen to bring us more of the same sorts of things, everyone is in their own information bubble to an extent and we have to make an effort to go outside of it. Here are some facts. Note that I am not being rude to you, I'm not talking down to you, I'm spending time writing, one person to another. I have no interest or incentive other than trying to do the right thing. Consider that please. Right now we have a pandemic largely of the unvaccinated. The vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths due to covid are in unvaccinated people. If you are vaccinated you are also much less likely to infect other people. These are two important facts. If you are vaccinated you are greatly protected against severe illness, hospitalization and death. If you are vaccinated you are much less likely to infect others. If you are vaccinated you are much less likely to need hospital space. The pandemic has continued in this country as badly as it has because we have a large segment that has bought into misinformation for various reasons. For some because it feeds their prejudices, for others because they believe what they're told and others think that freedom comes without cost. Freedom comes with responsibilities. We have freedom and we have the responsibility to take care of those around us. In a free country people should understand that freedom comes with responsibilities. We are responsible for each other. Older people, immunocompromised people, people with pre-existing conditions, those whose bodies don't make sufficient antibodies, these groups of people together make up a significant portion of our population. We have the responsibility to take care of them too. Your decision to not wear a mask or to not get vaccinated can kill the person behind you in line. The choice to have an abortion doesn't kill your neighbor or five people in the house next to you or a thousand people a town over. Again, important facts. Being vaccinated greatly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalization. This benefits you and the society at large because having our hospitals overwhelmed with the virus means that people can't get basic care and in many cases urgent care. That means that people needing care can't get it. Our hospitals are full of unvaccinated people, these people are directly responsible for your aunt not being able to get her cancer treatment or your father not getting a workup that could catch a condition before it becomes serious. Hospitals are overwhelmed because of unvaccinated people. When the person who refuses to get vaccinated gets sick then needs 10 days in the hospital to recover that puts a burden on the entire system. Had they gotten the vaccine, they either wouldn't have gotten sick at all or if they had It would have almost certainly been a minor issue. We won't know for a long time how much additional loss of life we've sustained as a result of our hospitals being overburdened with unvaccinated patients. The ripples of this will affect us for many years. The costs of refusing to get vaccinated are huge, not just for the person themselves but for society in general.

  253. This is not a useful comment. You're phrasing it as a question when it's clear from context that you believe you already know the answer. You believe unwanted pregnancies are "infinitely avoidable" those were your words. Unfortunately, you're wrong. Birth control can fail. Easily and it routinely does. It's clear from context that you believe that responsibility should fall solely on the shoulders of the woman. Interesting, where's the man's responsibility? The pill has awful side effects and it can fail. Condoms routinely fail. The IUD can damage a woman internally and it too fails. Men misrepresent their use of a condom, there's a meme out there about pulling it off because it's more enjoyable for men that way. Where is your indignation, your rage when a man considers his pleasure above the health and well-being of his partner? We don't provide sufficient education on birth control and we don't provide birth control. People will have sex, whether they are ready for it, whether they should or shouldn't is not the question. Maybe it should be but human nature is what it is. Let's deal with reality rather than an ideal situation while working towards that ideal. In the meantime, people will have sex. What do we do? What do we do about it, how do best ameliorate negative outcomes? The solution to the question is first, education. We have to provide better sex education. Second, making birth control available to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Third, better birth control. As it stands now the onus is on the woman and it should be shared more equally. Fourth, making abortion safe and legal so that it can be done as early as possible where necessary. Understand, no one is pro-abortion. That framing belongs to the anti-choice movement. They position themselves as pro-life when they aren't. What's the opposite of pro-life, anti-life? Pro death? No one who is in favor of choice is pro-abortion. No one wants to go have an abortion, no one celebrates it. While we're here, let's talk about spontaneous abortions. You must be aware that many fertilized eggs don't make it. A woman's body spontaneously terminates many pregnancies early on for a variety of reasons. What's next, do we criminalize women for that too? What would be the legal argument? You subconsciously didn't want the pregnancy that you didn't know you had and your body rejected it and somehow you are responsible and must be held culpable? The anti-choice movement is not consistent. They don't care about life, if they cared about life they would care about it after it exits the womb. They would care about it in other circumstances. They would be against guns, guns end lives. They would care about healthcare, housing, education and food. Many children die for lack of healthcare. Many more get sick for lack of healthy food. The anti-choice movement is not active in any of these areas. That leads you to rationally conclude that the primary purpose is controlling women. Use your logical faculties, think about this question, reject what you've been taught to believe.

Anyone who would mock someone because they sounded a little nervous or stressed at the start of a conversation does so to feel superior. When this is what a person does in order to feel superior we have to try to feel compassion. These people are easily manipulated into voting for anyone who will tell them how much better they are. One of the other commenters wrote a longer breakdown above showing how Bernie's policies are in line with some of the better places to live in the world. Unfortunately those who most need to read it and think about the underlying policies, won't.

  259. I am not a fan of Joe Rogan. Beau of the fifth column has said some interesting things about this endorsement. Anyone Joe Rogan convinces to vote for Bernie is someone who isn't going to be voting for Trump and a lot of Rogan's listeners are Trump voters or potential Trump voters. We can acknowledge the problematic things that Rogan has said but still take the voters that he will swing our way. Personally I can't listen to him because a lot of his points of view are very wrong and make me angry. But every person on our side is not going to be someone that we agree with nor does it have to be someone we like. He's on the right side of this issue, let's take the voters he will persuade to our side and try to win this.

  261. It's the tone of what she said, not the things that she correctly feels. I'm not very familiar with Barbara Bush but I do know that she said some things that were grossly inappropriate and showed a selfish mindset. it is absolutely within Free Speech rights to not proclaim false sorrow for her passing. The issue though is the tone of what the professor said. We have an expectation that professors for the most part conduct themselves in a way that is professional and inspires respect. I don't think she should be fired but taunting obnoxiousness is not correct conduct for professor.

Pasteurized eggs are an almost perfect food. Be wary of people offering information with an agenda. Dr Fung doesn't have an agenda, I'm not sure about this gentleman here.

Also, it wakes me up in the night. Ibought a big ramp set it on the side of the bed and he walked up and down at once and then refused to use it. Then I got some soft padded stairs that I put at the foot of the bed, I saw him sitting on the second stair the other day and I coaxed him up to the bed. We'll see If he keeps using them, but for anyone in a similar situation try different things if the first thing doesn't work, try something different.

  265. @drew13600 Is this a real question? Or are you here to troll on Adam's behalf? A cake mix is a carefully calibrated science experiment made by a large corporation that is very much invested in getting your money and not at all invested in your health. A cake mix is designed to be perfect in appearance and as addictive as possible. It contains preservatives artificial colors, processed ingredients and often trans fats. You have no control over where are the ingredients came from. They also contain far too much sugar. Eating cake made from a mix yields a specific experience that causes your brain to react in very specific ways resulting in more purchasing of that product. If you like cake learn how to make a healthier version of it and eat it infrequently as a treat.

  266.  @scottw2317  I'm going to guess that cheesecake with pork rinds is a keto reference. I try to run low carb high fat but I don't maintain ketosis usually. I miss sweets sometimes and I haven't found an artificial sweetener that tastes reasonably good to me. If you have some great recipes or a resource please share it. I also try to maintain intermittent fasting. The biggest shift is conditioning, we are taught to eat breakfast lunch and dinner, we're taught that breakfast is the most important meal, people still believe that a big glass of orange juice is a good thing. When you learn differently and realize how much of this is convention and how much of it is pushed by corporations that benefit from the sales of convenience foods your perspective slowly changes.

I spend more money on eggs, $8 for a dozen to get eggs from pasture raised, free to roam chickens. I don't buy food with additives, I don't buy food with added sugar and that means my groceries are more expensive, but what I buy is good healthy food. Animals have to be treated with respect and we don't. We need to do so much better.

  270.  @martykerns3802  You'd agree with him based on your own research or because it seems sound to you? I watched the interview. I question his methods and the science that backs them. I also want to point out that people have gotten great results with methods similar to his and with methods similar to those advocated by people like Dr Jason Fung. The reason two groups with completely different approaches have similarly good results is that both groups get rid of processed foods, unhealthy processed oils and sugar. You don't have to eat unsalted broccoli to be healthy. You really can eat a couple of pasture raised eggs instead. We need protein. We need healthy fats. We need salt. We need to eat less frequently. If we don't eat fats and protein we are hungry and want to eat more frequently.

  271.  @martykerns3802  The idea that eggs have cholesterol and are bad for you was never correct and has been debunked. I don't know what you're reading, but if what you are reading is telling you that eggs are something to be avoided, you're not reading good or useful information. Pasture raised eggs are rich in omega-3s and have more vitamin A and E than conventional eggs. The protein and fats in eggs make them an almost perfect food. When I break my fast with a couple of eggs, spinach, tomatoes, half an avocado and a piece of home baked almond cracker I'm eating a meal that will heal me and sustain my body. I'm eating real food with minimal carbs, nothing processed, no inflammatory oils. A reasonable amount of protein, healthy fats and vitamins. People who have serious conditions need good nutrition. Of course this will vary from person to person depending on the problem they have, but the idea that saturated fat, cholesterol and animal protein are bad has been debunked. It was never correct. I can share some of my sources if you want. I'm very curious to know what you're reading that is telling you to avoid healthy whole foods such as eggs.

  273.  @MySqueezingArm  Hey, there was no hostility. I apologized and said as much. It's possible to confuse formality of approach with hostility. There was no hostility intended, I felt that you were hostile in your initial response. There is so much willful stupidity and IDGAF going around. I was in part reacting to that. I am not saying that you are doing that. I get to listen to people saying that instead of who often enough that it prompted a reaction. People are often aggressively unknowledgeable and seem to take pride in being that way. I will absolutely cop to being a little pedantic but I don't know where you are reading hostile. Also it should be noted that people generally don't listen anyway. It is the very rare person who is open to guidance, help or input. Again, I apologize for how I came across. No hostility was intended, not in the first or second response. I thought your "look, my dude" and "who cares" were pretty hostile. We aren't all dudes and that kind of response strikes me more as gamer speak than a genuine reply. I don't think I hyper fixated either but I understand you feeling that way given the context.

  276.  C F  You know why obesity exists in minority communities? If you think it is because they're making the choice to eat poorly, you're wrong. I don't want to go into a whole long explanation if you already know the answers. Poverty is the first reason. It is far more expensive to eat healthily than it is to eat shelf stable unhealthy food. Cheap carbs are cheap. Many minority communities live in food deserts where fresh food is extremely difficult to get and overpriced. Time is another issue. If you have more leisure time you can do food prep and research and make delicious vegetable and healthy protein-based dishes. If you're working two jobs and barely keeping your head above water, you're not going to buy broccoli, avocados and Brussel sprouts that require time and knowledge to make them into something delicious. It is the kind of one two punch that is devastating because each problem makes the next one so much worse and then disease makes it even harder with our lack of health care.

Congratulations on losing weight and getting healthier. It sounds like you're doing a great job!

  281. Sourdough bread is made with a sourdough starter. It is fermented flour and water usually kept in a jar that you feed every day or every couple of days. The feeding process entails adding flour and water and discarding some of it so you don't end up with a huge amount of starter. Or using some of it. People sometimes refer to the starter as the mother. There's an entire (somewhat pretentious) jargon that has grown up around sourdough. It's not surprising, every interest group develops its own special terminology. Unfortunately that same jargon excludes others who aren't in the know. What you should avoid in the supermarket is processed bread and processed food in general. If the bread comes in a plastic bag, it's processed. Try to find sourdough bread that is made by a person or bakery that takes pride in making a healthier product. This is very difficult to find and extremely uncommon. For that reason most people who want to eat bread but also want to be healthy, end up learning about sourdough and baking in general in order to be able to bake bread themselves. That learning process can be fun and provide community but it's definitely a process. If you have time, even with the barriers to entry it's worth doing. There are some good books and guides out there that explain the process clearly and are more friendly to beginners. I don't have a sourdough starter. I was going to start one but never did because I try to avoid eating lots of carbohydrates in general. I love to bake though and good sourdough bread is incredible. A good loaf of sourdough bread has as much in common with supermarket bread as a fast food burger has with a filet mignon. If you have any questions or want anything clarified, I'm happy to help.

  282. I agree that that might seem to be correct on the face of it. Unfortunately in many cases it isn't, there are a significant number of cases in the system where it isn't warranted. If you happen to be a wealthy white kid with ADHD you're going to get good medical treatment and tutoring. Your mother isn't going to teach you to hit back when you are hit and then smack you in the back of the head with a phone. A lot of it is circumstance. I don't know the specifics of this situation beyond what has been discussed here. It is my understanding that her mother hit her and she hit back. That isn't ideal but neither is it surprising. It is also true that economic background greatly affects or even determines the punishment you end up receiving and whether you are in court at all in the first place. We can't have a system where wealthy white kids with ADHD end up over here and poor kids, poor minority kids specifically, end up in jail. You're right that a lot more went wrong but almost all of what went wrong wasn't in the child's control. It is also true that it has to be her responsibility to turn it around but it doesn't seem that she is getting the help to do so. In the eyes of the system she is a throwaway child, someone without value and that is tremendously damaging to a child's sense of self and their understanding of the world. She won't value herself because others don't value her. An exceptional person can make it out of a situation like this but it is not fair, it is not acceptable for us as a society to require poor children and children of color to be exceptional in order to merit a decent life when they come from a difficult start.

You don't like her, you don't want her as president, you don't want her as the nominee because? Why, the idea of a woman bothers you? Right, a woman is fine just not this one. Or that one. Nope, not the other one either, her voice annoys me! You're fine with a woman you're just not okay with specific. You have different standards for her than you do for a man. Have the decency to acknowledge it. I've given several hundred dollars to Sanders and I am a volunteer for his campaign but I'm going to call bullshit where I see it. And I absolutely see it in your response.

  287.  @stupidkitty84  I am militantly indifferent to what you believe or do not believe. You are not a true blue Bernie supporter if you are bashing Elizabeth Warren on the internet. Sanders does not want people to idolize him or lionize him. Not me, us. And Warren is, in substantial part, on the same side we are. Neither should you be giving money you can't afford. If you are indeed a single working mother of three kids with health issues (and I will do you the courtesy of believing you, something that you have not afforded me) you need your money for the care of yourself and your children. We don't want people to donate what they can't afford. My background? I'm also a woman and an attorney. I understand health issues, I won't go into why but I've had a long hard fight and I'll continue to have that battle. You attacked me without knowing anything about me. This is how our side tears itself apart. I like Elizabeth Warren. I respect the journey she's made. She grew up Republican and changed her beliefs because of the unfairness she saw. She has worked hard for others and she has done that work with honesty and honor. She has long been a friend and supporter of Sanders. I would have worked for her campaign if Bernie hadn't been in it. She has a long-standing reputation as decent and honest and that is why I am not going to attack her or assume that she was lying. Not without additional evidence. By the same token neither am I going to assume that Bernie is lying because I don't believe that he is. Where does that leave me? With a misunderstanding of some kind. Life is complicated and things are often misunderstood. I do not believe that Sanders would have said that a woman is not electable as president. At the same time I'm not sure that a woman is electable this year in this country with all of the sexism, stupidity and ugliness that is running rampant. The point is that we were not there, and given that both of these people have reputations for honesty I'm going to assume that it was a misunderstanding and not that either person is willfully lying. If you had asked me why I concluded this rather than attacking me as a "concern troll" you would have gotten an entirely different response. Why am I a Sanders' supporter first? Because Bernie has stood for these ideas for 50 years. Because I have lived in other countries where people have healthcare and I believe it is a necessity, a human right. Because it makes me furious that a handful of people have more wealth than half the population of the country, that corporations have a fiduciary responsibility first to their shareholders and not to their employees or to the greater society at large. That this fiduciary responsibility results in people being paid so little that they end up on food stamps even while working a full-time job. There is so much unfairness that we have to fix. Deaths of despair are at their highest ever, our suicide rate is at its highest since World War II. I could go on for a long time as to the reasons I support Sanders and his platform. That support though does not mandate my attacking someone else who is substantially on the same side. If you need me to attack Elizabeth Warren to prove that I am on Bernie Sanders' side then I would question your understanding of what it means to be a Sanders' supporter. I'm trying to find a way through this after you have gone out of your way to attack me. I am angry at how the media has portrayed Bernie, there are a lot of things that make me angry and that I find frustrating, but that does not lead me to attack Elizabeth Warren in the ugly and often sexist ways that she is attacked. Edit: I did not sign off on her claims with regard to his supporters. I do not think it is his responsibility. At the same time there is a strain of sexism in the attacks on her that I find abhorrent. Question someone on the substance of their beliefs, disagree with them because of those beliefs and because of the actions that they take. Calling someone a concern troll and all of the ugliness and sneering that goes on is part of the problem. People will never be persuaded to think or to question their beliefs if they are attacked. I know where the anger comes from, I often feel the same way and sometimes it gets the better of me, as it did in my first response to you.

I understand that the woman who attacked me is a single mother of three, has health issues and is struggling - that would make anyone angry and trigger happy. I also get that there are "concern trolls" out there. I wish though that we had a little more patience for each other. Elizabeth Warren has a reputation for honesty. So do Bernie Sanders. In the absence of additional information I'm going to assume he said something like "it will be difficult for a woman to be elected this year (due to the rabid nature of Trump and his followers)" and she took it to mean something broader. Elizabeth Warren is on the same bus. We are on the same side. It is wrong, in an excess of devotion, to demand that we disassemble her in order to show support for him. Thank you for responding, sometimes it feels lonely to go against the tide.

  289.  @eldrichnemo9312  No, while the other commenter is right that this is a result of capitalism, making the decision to do active evil goes beyond capitalism. It is a reasonable response to hate on someone, to use your expression, who willingly and knowingly with other options, steals the grocery money of elders. Being able to do this, having the capability of dehumanizing people such that you have no compassion or care for what you are doing to them is an indication of psychopathy. This is a man who has other options. He is not starving. Saying that it's capitalism and that he's addicted to free money understates it. He is targeting elders, many of whom have scant resources and trying to take everything they have. He is sufficiently intelligent to understand the magnitude of his actions. He's doing it anyway. I can't come up with a better definition of willful harm than something like this.

  290.  @nomaderic  This is pure rubbish and it offends me to read it. It has absolutely nothing to do with lawsuits. Supermarkets destroy food out of greed and the fear that people will take it and not buy the food. Eggs, milk, frozen food, one day past their "best buy" date are thrown out and bleach poured on it to make it inedible. There are laws protecting businesses from lawsuits resulting from donated food being eaten. I'm an attorney, I can cite laws from every jurisdiction should you require them or spend some time and do your own research. I'll reiterate, the destruction of food that could alleviate hunger has nothing to do with lawsuits. The primary reason supermarkets throw the food out and go further than throwing it out, rendering it inedible, rather than allowing people to take it, is greed. The underlying principle of our economy.

  291.  @kayhan101   When I was 17 I was living in Israel and dating a Moroccan guy. His sisters had wavy hair and they would do this thing where they would wrap their hair tightly around their heads while it was still damp to straighten it. The word they used when referring to that process was almost identical to what Ken says when he pronounces the name, Abu Hageilah. That is the term they would use. I don't know if it was a colloquialism or where it derived from but that's what they said. I lived in Israel for some years, I speak fluent Hebrew so I wasn't missing anything and when I asked I was met with a shrug. They said yes we're going to do this and they offered to do it for my hair too!

It seemed to me that aren't against Medicare for all, they're for it. It is how Dore talks to people and how he interacts that seems to be the problem. When he sucks up the air as someone said, when he positions himself as representing the left while not caring about getting things done. The purity test that he can't pass himself. I'm open to understanding what you meant, I apologize if I misunderstood your comment.

  294.  @painunending4610  what am I not listening to? You named yourself pain unending, that says something about your state of mind. You can be the nicest, kindest man out there but if you project pain unending that is going to be a deterrent to other people. Most women want a man who is kind, ethical and loyal. Someone with a sense of humor and innate decency. We don't care how much money he makes as long as there is enough money for the things that are needed. This is complicated in the United States because health care is not covered for everyone. There are the realities of life in this country that make everything more complicated. I've lived in other countries where things are different. That doesn't alter the fact that the majority of women aren't looking for a traditionally masculine man because that form of masculinity doesn't regard women as equals. We want someone who will understand that men and women are equals. Different in some regards but still equal. A traditionally masculine man believes that it is his right to make the decisions and her job to follow along. That is not a relationship of equals. People who were raised in more traditional countries or traditional families will be trained differently and for them it might be difficult to break away from that mindset. If you really want to engage in a conversation, tell me what you feel I was not listening to and I will respond.

  295.  @fallingspark2258  Thank you for the explanation. I understand how it works..The point I am making relates not to whether seniors are tech savvy but to the condescension in the comment. The comment isn't addressing anyone, it is specifically directed at older people. Read it again. When you say "No need to explain anything, computers are magic to old people" you are making an unwarranted generalization. It's similar to any other generalization based on a trait. If you were to say, no need to explain the ins and outs of politics, women don't get that sort of thing it's like magic to them, you'd be making a similar type of statement. Do you see the parallel? Making an assumption as to what someone knows or does not know based solely on their status as a member of a group is wrong. Women, older people, Christians, Black people, any group. I understand that anyone technically savvy will probably not be taken in, when you say hence the comment, you are missing the point. The comment doesn't say to treat everyone who is not technically savvy this way. It specifically says to be "extremely simple" and to avoid technical terms or details because "computers are magic" for older people. Older people specifically. Not anyone in this situation, not any person being scammed, but only older people. People get taken in by scammers regardless of their age,.vulnerable people are vulnerable regardless of age or technical background. Treat people with respect. Don't assume that someone being scammed requires an extremely simple approach. Don't assume that they view computers as magic. If you're trying to help someone in that situation take it on a case-by-case basis. If the person is panicking, then of course don't overburden them with details, you can give those later, but also don't speak to them as though they're simple-minded because that does harm too.

  296.  @jonmendelson1104  Okay it's tomorrow. Here goes: I wasn't arguing for the sake of arguing. This sentence, Lucian's last in his comment, caused me to feel genuinely angry. "No need to explain technical terms, computers are magic to them." That is pure condescension and dismissal. Every time I read it I feel my face twist with disgust. Where does the guy (I presume it's a guy) get off making that kind of generalization? No need... they're old and dumb, it might well be magic for those fossils, amirite? Ugh, no. I immediately formed a dislike for Lucian based on that last sentence. Had he said what you did, my response and reaction would have been different. You're right, people are scammed because they don't understand the technology. That's a people thing, not a "those old folks over age 50 view computers as magic, they might as well just keel over" thing. Lucian's first two sentences were fine and accurate. It's the last part where he gives away his distaste and contempt for anyone older. Everything else you said, I agree with other than your view that Lucian isn't talking down to them. If you think the person you're talking to is so inept, so clueless, so stupid as to think "computers are magic" that contempt will leak through in your affect. They will pick up on it. Knowing that the person being scammed doesn't understand the technology is one thing. Viewing everyone over a certain age as a fossil who might as well view computers as magic is rife with contempt. And yes, it was ironic. And intentional but you calling me on it made me laugh because you're right.

  300. ​ @jamesburke7059  No, you're wrong. The US government has issued a terrorism alert as a result of increased acts of violence against Jewish people. This is directly attributable to the things Kanye West is saying. Freedom of speech does not extend to harm, the example generally given is shouting fire in a crowded movie theater. You are free to express your views within reason but if you are a public entity, a well-known person for whatever reason, a celebrity, you have to exercise caution and he is not doing that. His freedom of speech stops at the freedom of another person to not be killed or harmed. It is frankly astonishing that anyone would argue this point.

  301.  @kst157  that has nothing to do with the comment he made which is correct. Framing the conversation in a less middle class manner would be helpful. Most people do not go and buy a bottle of wine with their bread. It was tone deaf and it struck me that way also.

  302.  @kst157  I think you're missing the point. How an argument is presented affects how it will be received. If the person offering good advice couches it in such a way that it is tone deaf and offensive, it won't be received. It's great that you think Jonathan offers good advice. I hope that advice is indeed useful for you and beneficial. The point being made here was that in a time of scarcity with grocery prices going ever higher for a white middle-class man to sit back and make an analogy that does not fit the vast majority was ill advised. When we come across as privileged and out of touch, our advice, even if good, it's less likely to be taken. It is not incumbent upon us to be thankful. The people behind this channel make money from it. It is both reasonable and appropriate to point out issues that need improvement. I hope I've clarified this for you, either way the conversation is not over. Have a great day.

  303.  @risenshine2783  I think you misunderstood the intent of the comment. He was making the point that with food prices so high and people struggling to put food on the table, casting the conversation in less entitled, less middle class terms is useful. How an idea is presented, the affect of the person presenting it, matters. Jonathan comes across with his smiling analogies about bottles of wine, as out of touch. It has precisely nothing to do with racism and everything to do with a certain tone deafness regarding how people are struggling.

  304.  @filthycasual8074  Many people have things we will never talk about because they're too painful. Because people judge without understanding. Because of the just world fallacy. If you're not familiar with the term, look it up. It is a mode of thinking where the person consciously or unconsciously believes that the world is a fair and just place. This fallacy causes people to judge others who have been hurt. A few examples, when you see someone questioning a woman, asking her "what were you wearing?" "What did you do to deserve it?" Or asking an 8-year-old child whose father has beaten her bloody, "What did you do to deserve it? "What did you do to provoke it?" These are the kinds of questions that come from the just world fallacy, the belief that bad things happen to people who deserve it in some way, that things work out fairly in the end. This causes the kind of pain that people later don't talk about because they've been taught to believe that it's their fault, taught that they are in some way lacking.. It takes a lot of time to heal from something like that. A good therapist, people who love you, a lot of reading and thinking. For that reason I think she worded it artfully. She said a lot in a few words that will mean something to many. I'm surprised anyone would have an issue with it. Perhaps it didn't make sense to you but it's often a good idea to avoid criticizing, to try to take a step back and think. The fact that what she wrote didn't speak to you doesn't mean it wouldn't speak to others. Calling it stupid comes from anger. Stop for a moment and ask yourself why you felt angry.

  305.  @scowi3  That's why I stay away from processed food in general. 99% of the things in my grocery cart are what most people would regard as ingredients. Other than some beef jerky because every now and then when I'm running around and I haven't eaten for 20 hours I might want a quick bite, everything is real food. No added sugars no added additives, no preservatives no binders no emulsifiers none of that. You make a good point!

  306.  @britsareweak  Your thinking lacks clarity. This pushes otherwise left wing people right over to the other side. You're an anti-semite who needs to curse and engage in an abusive mode of conversation because you can't reason though points made. There is nothing to be gained from discussion with someone like you. You feel hatred and you need to lash out. You can't refute me point by point because you are disordered and ruled by anger. Acknowledge your issues first, then you'll be able to engage in conversation and debate. As soon as I see all caps and cursing it tells me (and anyone else reading) what we need to know about your unwillingness to control yourself and think clearly.

Add to that the style of narration, the almost salacious relish (his brains sloshing against his skull!) and you'll get the reason for my distaste. Thank you though for being able to disagree without attacking.

You eat full fat dairy not low fat dairy from cows that are pasture raised. You eat meat from grass-fed cows. Please educate yourself before giving advice to others. You don't want to risk giving bad advice to someone who might listen.

  311.  @critter4004  I figured there would be a snarky comment about an essay or novella. I was certain you would do that and you didn't disappoint. Everything I said was accurate, reading is not work, if it's an effort for you to read something or if it takes time, that isn't a problem I have. It's a choice you make. Reread your response to the original comment. Do you not see how you came across? The first thing you say is "what was your diet." Then the word simply, you simply avoided sugars and starches and for that reason do not have tooth decay. That was all you had to say to the person who has no teeth and is suffering. No compassion, no questions, just judgment and assumptions about their diet with more about your own experience. Your experience is anecdotal, you suggested that all they had to do is do what you did and everything would be great when that isn't accurate. How does that help them when they are already in this situation? All they had to do was not eat sugars and starch, and that helps them now how? It doesn't. All it does is serve as an opportunity for you to point out what you believe to be their bad choices without knowledge as to whether they made those choices or if they knew better. That's what prompted my essay. The thing you should do is go back and reread your comment, understand how it came across and try to do better next time. You don't have to acknowledge that to me, that isn't the point.

  314. The idea of a corporate dental chain should never exist. We have taken capitalism much too far. The countries that are successful with capitalism have it tempered with common sense precautions. Watching the manager sell different packages to the truck driver was ugly, similarly the older woman who needed two teeth removed and was sold an entire package she couldn't afford. Where everything is about profit, healthcare and dental care, what the patient actually needs, will be far behind the bottom line. Medical and dental care should never be for profit.

  317. What are you saying? That if somebody is not clean and sober they don't deserve to have a home? There are.plenty of people from wealthy backgrounds who are frequently drunk or use drugs but never have to worry about a roof over their heads. Understand, I am not pro drugs or alcohol. But it's worth considering whether we as a society want to take the position that using drugs or alcohol precludes assistance, that having a roof over your head is contingent on perfect behavior, that any poor choice a person makes will define them forever. I have not met a person yet who hasn't made a few poor choices in their life. I've lived in two other countries. Both provide health care for everyone and in the event of homelessness, shelter. No one has to be without basic medical care or a roof over their head. If a society is sufficiently wealthy that should be the baseline. It's also cheaper. We spend a tremendous amount of money administering social welfare programs. There is an entire bureaucracy involving hundreds of thousands of employees. Providing health care, basic housing and assistance without all of the bureaucracy is cheaper. Cheaper and healthier for us as a society. People like those in the video have different reasons for finding themselves homeless. Some are veterans with PTSD. We thank people for their service but don't take care of them afterwards. There are the victims of horrific childhood abuse. Medical emergencies without health insurance, job loss, spousal abuse, there are so many bad things that can happen. Each one of us makes poor choices but the cost can be very different. If you're wealthy with good connections a poor choice or even a series of poor choices can be be made to disappear. If you are already poor or struggling though, if you have PTSD, been abused, don't have enough money in the bank or people to support you, if a thousand different things, you could end up homeless.

  319.  @nycsongman9758  I agree with your comment insofar as her appearance being irrelevant. When I read the comment I have the same response, what do her looks have to do with it? The rest of your comment though raises concern for me, the woman was murdered. There is a cover-up. Whether she is pretty or not, whether it is a woman, a man, someone in their twenties or seventies, none of this is relevant. What matters is the fact that she was killed and she should not have been. The rest of your comment suggests that you don't want to look at that and I'd have to ask why. You referred to peeling back layers, what layers are you talking about? At this point those who are demonstrating have been arrested but those involved in the cover up have not. Those are the layers I'd like to see examined or closely.

  320. I don't understand why we are giving the scammer the benefit of the doubt. Yes, he's under the age of 25 but he is an adult and old enough to understand that knowingly scamming elders out of their grocery money is evil. Not just wrong, not just bad, but an act of evil. He is trying to take people for everything they have. This indicates a lack of compassion and concern for the lives of others. This is the kind of person who should not be in society. This is not an example of someone who is under the age of 20 and starving. He has other choices and is actively making the decision to harm others. I can't overstate the contempt and loathing that scammers like this one arouse in me. Generally I try to extend the benefit of the doubt and view people as capable of change. But listening to this man scam elders out of their savings, talking to them as though they're stupid and condescending while stealing from them is horrific. I would not extend a second chance to someone capable of this kind of behavior. Not without significant evidence of real change.

  321.  @Siegfried5846  I responded to your comment. I hope it is helpful. I've spent years on this. Like many others I was overweight. I am no longer overweight. My A1C was high, now it is 4.4 which is fantastic. I was told that I would probably end up diabetic and now I won't. I lost weight and got healthy. There is no processed food in my house. I won't say that I never eat sugar because like Dr Lustig I'm a human being and subject to the same stressors and weaknesses as everyone else. I love sourdough bread. I love gelato. I love chocolate. But I do my best to ensure that these things are rare treats. In the US, people eat processed cereal with sugar for breakfast. They have Pop-Tarts, they eat things that come out of cartons in the freezer. They have muffins and cookies for a mid-morning snack. Then they have lunch that is more of the same. Then a snack in the afternoon and something processed for dinner and an after dinner snack. Our rate of death from covid compared to countries where people eat real food is astronomically high. The problem with processed food is that it doesn't have fiber which is necessary to feed the gut and it does have tremendous amounts of added sugar and pro-inflammatory omega-6 oils. The vast majority of Americans have underlying inflammation. That inflammation is a factor in all chronic disease. I can't summarize it all in one comment. We don't learn unless we do the work for ourselves. Please take the time to do the work, take the time to educate yourself. It's easy to sneer at someone and say "they're overweight so the information they're sharing has to be wrong" but the person you hurt most with that approach is yourself. Yourself and anyone you end up feeding. He isn't perfect. He probably eats too much sugar, he has said many times in the past that he loves dessert but dessert is okay if it is dessert and not what we eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's also important to point out that being overweight isn't the problem. There are metabolically healthy overweight people. And there are metabolically unhealthy thin people. The medical concept of TOFI, thin on the outside, fat on the inside exists for a reason. Subcutaneous fat is not damaging. It isn't pretty but it is protective for longevity within reason. It is the visceral fat that is the problem along with fatty liver whether that fatty liver is a result of alcohol or NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) something that didn't exist until recently. Take the time and learn. There are few things more important than this information. Knowing how to eat to avoid chronic disease, to be healthy, emotionally, psychologically and physically is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and for your family and friends. Once you have learned, try to help someone who responds the way you responded to me, show them patience and help them learn in turn.

  323. It's interesting that boomers are the one demographic that people are allowed to hate uniformly. If we applied this perspective to any other group there would be outrage. It might be useful to remember that boomers are the generation that fought for safe and legal abortion. These are the people who demonstrated in favor of equal rights for marginalized groups. Is it true that some of them became more conservative as they got older, yes unfortunately some did. But painting them with such a broad brush and looking at all of the hate in the comments is chilling. There is a distinct lack of empathy and understanding. I would not want to live in this kind of community when I get older, but I understand their impulse to do so. It would be useful if we could treat everyone with a lot more compassion and understanding.

I believe you are in good hands with him. If you are eating sugar and fruit juice and bread and pasta, please do what he suggested and get rid of those foods. Grass-fed, grass-finished beef, eggs preferably from chickens that are free to pasture, butter from grass-fed cows, full fat dairy if tolerated, wild caught fish. You are an important voice in a sea of noise, please take care of yourself, as you stated you have a lot to accomplish. We need you.

  332. She's dressed for a nightclub. She can wear whatever she wants to - should she wear something like this to work? A very light fabric that is also skin tight? I'd suggest that while it looks fine, it isn't quite appropriate for work. I would feel this way if she were thinner also. This same outfit would probably be fine if it wasn't skin tight. A dress code is fine to have as long as it's reasonable. I don't understand where common sense has gone. Look in the mirror; do I look as though I'm ready to go to the club? If the answer is "yes" then I'm probably not in work attire.

  333. Again, I disagree. She can dress appropriately and attractively. The combination of extremely thin cloth worn as tight as it can be is the issue. Not her body. Please let's evidence a bit of common sense.

  335. When did people become so lacking in common sense? This is not body shaming. You have to be trolling to even suggest that. This woman wore the tightest dress she could and in the thinnest fabric possible. The combination of thin fabric and skin tight are the issue - not her body. Any person wearing this would be inappropriately dressed. There are real issues to fight in the world. This is not one of them. There are real "aggressions" against people that have to be addressed. This is not one of them.

  336. And you have it wrong again. I'm a liberal left-leaning, Sanders supporting person. I wouldn't have complained about her attire, but if we are talking about it? Yes, it's not appropriate for work. The issue is not her figure, she's lovely. The issue is the material and the fit. She chose an outfit that was made of very thin skimpy material and wore it in a size that was as skin tight as it could be. This would be inappropriate for anyone - slender, fit, curvy or otherwise. Can we please show some common sense? There are real issues that need our attention in the world. This is not one of them. There are lot of things a person can wear that will be attractive. She needn't wear a burka or dress as a "sister-wife."

  337. I wanted to add to that - the word "lust" you're citing is the Hebrew word "T'chooka" - it means passion. Consensual passion. I read the original statement; the rabbi is giving permission for Israeli men to have consensual sex with non Jewish women. NOT rape. Generally speaking it is frowned upon for Israeli men to engage in relationships with non Jewish women. This is absolutely an issue and is worth addressing. So is the sexism in that women don't get a similar dispensation. These are the real issues with what was said. There is enough wrong with the world without whipping up anti-semitism and misrepresenting what people say. A story where a rabbi says "Okay, you can have sex with non Jewish women in war time" is what we have here, and by all means address that, but the eye rolling at the translated word "Jewess" (Hebrew has male and female cases, as French does, that's where the translated term comes from) and outrage at translating the word "Passion" into "lust' and in turn stating that this means rape, is wrong and disturbing. Come on, we can and have to do a lot better than this.

  338. boleroboy723 this is an example of what about ism. Where someone is talking about an important issue and the other person says yes but what about this. We can absolutely discuss the issues that you raised but they don't detract from the importance of the issue under conversation in this video.

  339. Why would you feel an impulse to insult Grace? And then act on it? Does her confidence offend you? Grace is attractive. If she chose to do the conventional make up, hair and clothing she would look like everyone else. She chooses not to - why do you think that she deserves to be insulted for it? Why does it threaten you such that you feel the need to comment on it? Give this some thought before you answer, it's worth considering.

  340. Why would I be sarcastic? I didn't catch that she was worried, I heard her being self deprecating. The thing I wonder about is why you are being intentionally hurtful. Ask yourself that - why do you feel the need to editorialize and offer your view that she would "repel" at every corner even if she wore a bikini. I think she's mentioned her partner, who must like the way she looks. For my part, no, I'm not a SJW (although there are far worse things to be, right? Trying to make the world a nicer place has value) nor am I an "irrational feminist" - why are you so angry? Why so disparaging? I mean this not to insult but because I genuinely wonder. You should too.

  341. Ana: it's "by accident" not "on accident." The other and more important correction is "I feel like" when you mean "I think." This formulation is more often used by women in order to appear less threatening, if we feel rather than think, it seems less open to attack. All it really does is weaken the statement. When you say that you feel that people shouldn't be incarcerated for low-level nonviolent offenses what you mean is to make a statement. You can preface it by I think or you can just do away with the preface entirely. Make the statement: People should not be subject to imprisonment for low-level nonviolent offenses. There is no need there for I think and absolutely no need for I feel, since you're not feeling it but rather putting forth an opinion based on thought and analysis.

I understand that it is for emphasis and that it is effective with some of the audience, but it does not work for me and makes me not want to watch the rest of the video. Please, let's have less of the exaggerated dramatic sound effects mugging for the camera

  343. This is the first time I've seen Nomi Konstantin speak. I really wanted to like her, but I do not. Dershowitz is absolutely right, she was advocating. The things I find most distasteful are the making of faces and scathing tone of voice. Konst made a series of exaggerated faces, expressing her incredulity in an unprofessional way. She spoke with sarcasm and contempt, there was no room for an alternative point of view. Even as an advocate it is inappropriate to address others in this fashion, certainly not as a reporter.

  344. No. We need to be cognizant of not getting high and using our phones while driving, this is not the issue you should be bringing, he was absolutely in the wrong on two accounts and I am fine with this arrest, anyone who is not fine with this arrest apparently is okay with taking their lives into their own hands driving around with people who are impaired and distracted at the same time. This is not to say that alcohol isn't worse, it is but driving while high and using the phone at the same time is ridiculously dangerous and deserving of an arrest.

  345. You're going to give the president grief because he didn't do enough, but not credit for all the things that he did with the entire Republican party arrayed against him. How should he have gotten more done? Everything he did was fight against so desperately, tooth-and-nail word and deed.

  348. This isn't a "HORRIFIC" attack. When I saw the title I was expecting genuinely horrific and I'm glad it wasn't. It's wrong and should not happen - but horrific is something entirely different.
    2
  349. You're not getting it. This guy had participated in this form of "prayer" on others - the "blasting" and screaming all of the rest of it. Yes, it's unpleasant and it should not happen, but when you see HORRIFIC - this isn't that. Anyone whose outrage doesn't rise to the level of yours is an enemy? I'm not - it's unfortunate that you don't see that.
    2
  350. Really? Why am I an idiot? When I see the word horrific in all caps I expect that somebody was horrifically harmed, cut, burned, killed. This man endured an attack that was not something he should have endured but if we use the word horrific in all caps to describe this what words do we use to describe things that are genuinely horrific? The guy wasn't physically damaged, he didn't need to be hospitalized. Does this mean it's okay? Of course not. My point pertains to the use of HORRIFIC in all caps. What "Warmachine" did to his girlfriend was horrific. If you call this horrific, what do you call that? It should also be noted that this guy had participated in doing this to others, the "blasting" and "prayer" -- and while he probably didn't consent to it (although who knows if those he had done it to had consented?) again, it doesn't rise to the level of horrific. I shouldn't have to keep saying this - my pointing this out is not the same as stating that it is okay. It is not okay. But neither does it rise to the level of "HORRIFIC."

  351. @Senior Scientist  Hey, you're very welcome. I spent a few minutes on that reply, I was hoping to provide some beneficial information. Dr Jason Fung is a good resource, he's written several books and has a channel also. Similarly, Dr Robert Lustig offers good information without condescending to his audience. I would also recommend Sten Ekberg's channel. It depends on your understanding of the topic. Sten presents things in a way that I sometimes find a little clickbait-y but he cares very much and 95% of what he says is accurate. I've referred people to his channel and they have derived significant benefit from it. There is so much we can do that will affect our health positively. It doesn't guarantee that we won't get a terrible disease but it significantly lessens the chances and increases the likelihood of surviving it. Enjoy your grapes in moderation and take good care of yourself!

  353. Ralph Joseph Are you okay? It's not normal to respond to a stranger with so much rage and venom. Your intention is to upset me by name calling and ugly words but my response is to think about how hard it has to be to walk around with so much anger and hatred. I hope you are able to get better. You do yourself much more damage than you do me - is this the good Christian values? If you're an example of the target audience, you've made my point better than I could ever hope to.
    2
  354. Ralph Joseph I appreciate the apology, I'll offer this back in the spirit of your response. When someone says something online that annoys you deeply, try to approach them in the way that you just did right now rather than with rage and hate. If you want to make the world a better place rage and hate are never going to do it. If you had asked me why I responded the way I did, I would have told you and we could have had a conversation about it. You might have been better able to understand my perspective and I could have understood yours without anyone falling into rage and anger. People can differ, and even differ deeply in their approach to things and how they feel about important (and unimportant) issues but still live together in a community and respect each other. You can't have respect though where the first thing a person does is rage and curse and engage in name-calling. This argument is a microcosm of the country at-large, where both sides are so angry that they view the other side as irredeemably evil and stupid. When you view the person on the other side of a discussion in these terms you can do anything to them; you can shout at them, punch them, drive over them with your car at a demonstration as we've already seen, you can take their rights away, you can do anything. This is very dangerous path for all of us. It's far more important to try to understand why the person on the other side of a conversation holds the point of view that they do and then trying to understand that and share your own point of view. You might find in the end that there is room for a compromise or at least a place where you can both coexist peacefully.

  355. I don't think fast food tastes good though. I don't treble when I eat a quarter pounder because I wouldn't eat a quarter pounder. That stuff is not food. Bread doesn't taste good when it's sweet. I love good ice cream and sweets. I choose not to eat them almost all the time but I love them. Fast food though? Has no appeal for me because it doesn't taste good. It tastes like processed junk to me. I used to like it but it's been a long time since I've considered McDonald's to be food.

  356. Your comment is not okay. I wouldn't take my child or anyone to this doctor because she has ideas that are on their face ridiculous and are lunacy. You can say that and you can call that out without referring to not wanting to take "her African degree." There are good schools in Africa and you positioning it as though she isn't someone to go to because she has an African degree smacks of racism. I don't want to attack you for it because I agree with the underlying sentiment of what you're saying but the way you said it was wrong because it suggests that you believe at any doctor coming from Africa would be bad or inadequately educated or crazy.

  361.  @barbarafairbanks4578  information can be interpreted to support various propositions that are in the larger picture inaccurate. Don't eat a calorically restricted meal. When you eat, eat to satiety. Our desire to eat is at its lowest in the early morning. The hunger hormone, ghrelin is at its lowest at that time. Our bodies do not intend us to force food down our throats because a study was misinterpreted. One piece of information in a vacuum proves nothing. If this works for you, I wish you the very best with it but I have zero desire to sit down to eggs at 10:00 a.m. to do so would be to court nausea. Our bodies are intelligent, the problem with obesity and insulin resistance stems from eating too frequently, too much and unhealthy food. Resolving those issues is of primary importance. Let's not make a different mistake and tell people that they need to force themselves to eat a heavy meal which is somehow also calorically restricted?? right as they wake up. And yes, we should eat when we are hungry. The idea that you should force yourself to eat when you aren't hungry is ridiculous on its face. That is the problem here, people eat when they aren't hungry because they were told that the clock is magical and that they have to eat X number of times a day for their metabolism. That is just not accurate. Humans evolved eating once a day or once every few days. There is nothing magical about eating three or four or seven times a day or at a specific hour. Eat when you are hungry, eat when your body asks you for food. Not when you're bored, not when you're depressed, not when someone makes something delicious that appeals to you and not based on the clock. If you are hungry at 10:00 a.m. then of course eat at 10:00 a.m. If you are hungry at 3:00 p.m. eat at 3:00 p.m. It will be different for people in different stages of their life. A pregnant or breastfeeding woman might very well be hungry at 8:00 a.m. and at 11:00 a.m. and at 2:00 p.m. and at 4:00 p.m. and again at 7:00 and again at 9:00 because she is feeding a child. A growing teenager will need more nutrition than an adult in their 40s or 50s. And it might be different from one day to the next where someone is hungry earlier in the day on one day and not the next. But absolutely do not force food down your throat because a study that doesn't take all factors into consideration says that this is what you should do. Trust your body.

  362. I agree, I found that to be odd too. Statins have side effects. It is much better to deal with cholesterol by changing our diet and lifestyle. There's also the question of the need for statins at all, cholesterol is not the enemy, good dietary fats are not the enemy either. They never were, it was always sugar. I'm glad you were able to address the issue with diet. I could not agree more that it absolutely is a slippery slope. Worse, it's a slippery slope that primarily benefits pharmaceutical companies. We have powerful life-saving drugs but the focus of medicine has shifted almost entirely to prescribing medications. You see doctors prescribing Ozempic rather than helping people with diet. And those who do talk about diet generally have it wrong telling their patients to avoid fat and eat carbohydrates. The other factor is time, doctors in the United States are overburdened and overwhelmed, they have too many patients and lack time to work with them. It is much faster to prescribe a drug than to work with the patient and teach them how to address the underlying issues. Unfortunately that means many don't get the information they need. Good doctors, and there are many of them, recognize this problem and it contributes to their frustration and dissatisfaction. Returning to the issue of sugar and fat, Dr Robert Lustig talks about evidence proving the sugar industry paid to have responsibility for heart disease placed at the feet of fat. He discusses in a number of lectures and provides detail in his latest book, Metabolical. Dr Jason Fung is another great resource. He has a channel but I would read his books. Do you do intermittent fasting? I've found it to be very helpful. I'm a woman too, you might find it said that it doesn't work as well for women or that it is more complicated for us. That's not true. There are additional factors but those are primarily when pregnant or breastfeeding. If those are not currently factors and if there is no eating disorder, intermittent fasting works very well. There are many benefits to intermittent fasting. It lets insulin levels drop. When we eat every few hours we keep our insulin levels high, particularly when we eat carbohydrates and to a lesser extent protein. Intermittent fasting lets insulin levels drop naturally. There are other benefits to longer fasts, autophagy among them. These are things our doctors should be teaching us but don't or can't. This isn't taught in school either. And because there is no way for the pharmaceutical industry to make money out of fasting or eating real food it isn't in their best interests to disseminate this information. The end results is that some get this information if they are lucky enough to find it and others who need it do not.

  365.  @jacobcohen9205  Jacob, did you see the other response? That's why I brought it to your attention. People like that other guy who assumes that anyone writing a comment in all caps is of low intelligence. I didn't want you to be perceived that way. When I see the name Jacob Cohen I immediately feel somewhat protective because I know that you're Jewish. For the same reason I don't use my name in comments. I'm an attorney, I was an administrative law judge. I've dealt with a lot of anti-Semitism. I'm on our side which is your side. There was nothing nasty in my response to you, I was pointing out that you would be better to not post your comments in all caps to avoid just that kind of trolling.

  366.  @jacobcohen9205  everything is correct except for the brother part, sister in my case, Jacob. I went to Israel when I was 11 and 1/2 years old and stayed until my early twenties, I did my undergrad at the University of Haifa then came back to the states for law school. It sounds like you are an older gentleman. I would suggest that you don't let the trolls get you down but you already seem ahead of that! Do you live in Israel now?

They want to feel that they are superior to others and anyone who can tell them that they are will get their vote.

  370. How do you tell yourself that it's okay to comment or even think this way? Rape isn't and has never been about sex with the hottest woman. Rape is about power, violence and domination. While the specifics vary, it's generally a man who is angry, who feels that he is owed something he isn't getting. A man who feels entitled and believes that women are inferior or stupid. A man who frequently lacks empathy for others, especially women. The fact that you referred to the women as "these creatures" and sneered that no one would want to rape them speaks to your frame of mind, how you view women and the world in general. This is something you can change. I hope you do try to change it, for your own benefit and the benefit of those around you. With respect to the anti-Hispanic/immigration aspect of your comment, who do you think is going to do these jobs? They need to be done and you aren't signing up to clean offices at night. What's your solution, after you deport them, who will do the work? Also these men are not more likely to commit rape than white men are. You're being dishonest if you say that this population commits more crimes, they don't.

  371.  @stephaniew4168  May I ask why you are eating rice and potatoes? Is it that you enjoy them? And the chocolate of course? I enjoy some chocolate every once in a while. I do have a drink once or twice a week but I practice strict intermittent fasting. Each day 16 hours no eating other than my late morning coffee with a little heavy cream. I eat one meal a day, sometimes an additional meal depending on if I'm hungry. I eat when I'm hungry, if I'm not hungry I do not eat. I get lots of healthy fats and protein. I don't eat fruit or vegetables other than rarely when they are seasonal, organic and not bred for additional sweetness. I think the key really is intermittent fasting. Letting your insulin drop so that your body can access storage fat, getting enough sleep is also important. Perhaps you might try a 30-day carnivore challenge with intermittent fasting? See if that drops it down lower, I am fairly certain it will.

  372. Liking video games with "girls in bikinis and big tits" to use your unfortunate expression is part of the problem. How can women be people if they are viewed almost solely as sex objects. Objects aren't people, they're objects. All of this is one piece. You're part of it and they are too. You didn't pass around naked pictures of somebody at a company function, okay, that's a low bar to meet but you get points for not doing it. Feeling vindicated is not appropriate here. You don't have to do the very worst thing to be part of the problem. They've done worse things than you have but you too are part of the problem.

  373. The presentation of the video is difficult to watch. You sit there with a pissed off attitude and dispeptic mien. Overemphasizing every sentence and scowling every other word. The unfortunate thing is that the information is useful. I already know this, I lived in other countries and my issues with American breakfast pertain more to avoiding processed food and added sugar. But then you say that that part doesn't bother you 3/4 of the way through the video. I'm not sure why this was recommended for me today. You appear to have a lot of subscribers who probably enjoy the presentation. It's not for me though. It's appropriate to be pissed off and aghast at specific things but overused, every sentence, it becomes tiresome to sit through because it doesn't mean anything, it's just your style of presentation. And you lost me completely and in perpetuity at the end of the video when you said that Lucky charms was a delicious cereal. Please, anyone reading this, do not eat lucky charms or similar cereals. They are processed sugar and artificial colors with no nutritional value. Pseudo foods like these are responsible for the epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and various kinds of digestive cancers in the United States. Don't eat it, don't let your favorite YouTuber give you permission to eat it either. There are plenty of delicious foods that contain sugar that will be less harmful to your health.

  374. I used to be a Democrat. I agree with everything Brianna is saying. I'm sorry, Trump is objectively awful. I know there are true believers out there who think that he is a god-fearing Christian who will save them but he isn't. The list of things Trump has said and done is so extensive that if I were to even try to summarize it this comment would be longer than anyone would be willing to read. Trump has said on many occasions that people who serve their country are suckers. I served, am I a sucker? He said that the honorable John McCain wasn't a war hero. He was and I would have voted for him. By 2016 Trump had more than 4,000 lawsuits brought against him some of them he bragged about. He said that only a sucker pays their bills, he wouldn't pay his contractors and subcontractors when he was a builder in New York, he would force them to bring an action against him and then he would settle for pennies on the dollar. These were working people, working Americans, they needed to be paid and he didn't want to pay them because he wanted to keep the money. This is the man who said he would sleep with his daughter if she wasn't his daughter and who routinely walked into changing rooms at his pageants, making the teenage girls very uncomfortable. Remember his pretend University that he used to cheat people out of money telling them they would have a real degree when they weren't getting anything that would help them get a job? More than 4,000 legal actions by 2016 and that doesn't count all of the subsequent actions and convictions after 2016. You can claim that Trump has not been treated fairly but if any other politician had done any of the things that he has done they would have immediately lost their career. Trump doesn't scold people, he validates their worst impulses. He has also benefited from a series of bros, each with their own audience. I want to quote a paragraph from the Atlantic: "It’s not just one type of talkative bro who has boosted Trump and made him more palatable to the average American. Trump has steadily assembled a crew of extremely influential and successful men who are loyal to him. Carlson is the preppy debate-club bro. Rogan is the stoner bro. Elon Musk is the tech bro. Bill Ackman is the finance bro. Jason Aldean is the country-music bro. Harrison Butker is the NFL bro. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the crunchy-conspiracist bro. Hulk Hogan is the throwback entertainer bro. Kid Rock is the “American Bad Ass” bro. And that’s hardly an exhaustive list. Each of these bros brings his own bro-y fandom to the MAGA movement and helps, in his own way, to legitimize Trump and whitewash his misdeeds." I agree with that. He has a lot of people with influence, each with their own unique audience. These are groups the Democratic party should have tried to reach but they didn't. Brianna is right, the Democratic party has become much too woke, too concerned with appearances. The average American doesn't want to hear about the federal government paying for transition surgery for trans people who are in prison. They don't want to hear about pronouns, land acknowledgments, they want to know how their groceries are going to get cheaper. They want to know that their kids won't be indoctrinated in school. I agree with those things. I hope RFK is able to make some headway in the area of health. Almost 70% of American adults are type 2 diabetic or pre-diabetic. You don't have to be overweight to be in that category. The average person gets more than 60% of their caloric intake from processed food and that rises to over 80% in some communities. We had so much death from covid because we are unhealthy. Most Americans eat a terrible diet. Who benefits? Fast food and processed food are a trillion dollar industry and then the pharmaceutical industry comes along and offers drugs to address the symptoms of the diseases people get from eating the standard American diet. They don't offer cures or solutions because there isn't money to be made in curing disease, the money is made in monthly prescriptions and procedures. In maintaining the person and continuing to be paid. There's a lot that has to change but I don't think Trump is the solution. He is not a good person and there is risk to our democracy. I wish Biden had stepped down sooner and the Democratic party had held a primary instead of deciding who the nominee was going to be. I also wish the Democratic party would back away from the extremes. The fact that we have Democrats who celebrated Hamas, that was enough for me to no longer be a Democrat in addition to all of the messaging and extreme leftist BS that has lately overtaken the party. I hope they're able to move back towards the center where most Americans are.

  375. It doesn't matter how many facts we present. People on the other side are steeped in ignorance and anti-Semitism. The left, something I used to belong to, views everything in terms of oppressors and oppressed. In their view we are oppressors even though the Arabs outnumber us 120 to 1. Even though we have come to the table in good faith to negotiate each time and each time they have started a war. When people are unwilling to hear facts there's nothing we can do to persuade them. This is an unfortunate truth and I don't know how to get around it.

  376. No, not necessarily. It depends how bad their type 2 diabetes is. Some can get by with metformin alone and others have to inject insulin. It is on an individual basis. When we give a type 2 diabetic insulin it doesn't solve the underlying problem of diet. It is prescribing a drug for a metabolic, dietary issue. Their need for insulin will continue to increase as they get worse and they will get worse over time. Type 2 diabetes has been defined as a progressive illness, only recently is it being redefined on the basis of the work people like Dr Fung have done. As a type 2 diabetic takes insulin and continues to eat carbohydrates and sugar will continue to get sicker and they will need more insulin and more insulin and eventually they will be injecting it several times a day. Because insulin forces more glucose into the cells without resolving the underlying issue they will continue to be inflamed and sick, this will result in renal failure, amputations, blindness for some. It is an awful disease that is easily resolvable by stopping carbohydrates. Type 1 diabetes is something completely different.

  377. I'm seeing a lot of ugly racism in these comments and not a lot of awareness that the problem perpetuates itself. If you grow up in a bad area and your parents have problems, you are probably going to have problems also. If you're hungry, you're going to steal. If you don't get an education, if you don't have adults in your life who are supportive and nurturing and educate you, you're going to grow up the same way. That doesn't mean it's your fault, it's a societal failing. Blaming the child or the teen for falling into the same pitfalls as their parents when there are no adults to counter it is racism. Poverty and lack of education, lack of opportunity, hunger and abuse are not racial issues. We have to do better by the people who are stuck in these areas. We have to do better by their kids. Sitting back and saying "Oh it's the black community's fault, they should do better" doesn't solve the problem. When you live in a society there are rights and responsibilities. Freedom comes with the responsibility to help take care of each other. Rather than sitting back and blaming people for doing bad deeds, we need to fix the problem so that they don't feel that that's the only way out, that stealing is what has to happen in order to eat. This is not to say that any individual store has to go to an area and lose money. This is an issue for the government to step in and help resolve until it can become more sustainable for companies to come in. Even when they do, I've seen prices in these stores higher for lesser items than they are in the supermarket where I live. If you're going to call the black community out for bad behavior, call the corporations out for predatory practices as well.

  378. @drew13600 Please go troll elsewhere. Do you work for a company that produces preservatives? There is not a lot to "unpack" here (you realize that you out yourself by word choice, don't you?) Artificial color additives to foods have been banned in a few European countries - you should do your own due diligence and research these issues rather than abdicating responsibility via snark and pretend concern. The various non-food additives have not been shown to be safe over time and in the large amounts we eat them. "Generally recognized as safe" in the US is not the same as "sure, we know it's good for you, it's GOOD for your gut health, it won't have any ill effects over the 30 or 40 years that you eat lots of it cumulatively because you're listening to someone tell you that it's safe." Do you really need me to break down every ingredient in boxed cake mix? Duncan Hines Classic Yellow cake mix: Sugar, Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour (Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Vegetable Oil Shortening (Palm Oil and/or Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil) Leavening (Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Dicalcium Phosphate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Monocalcium Phosphate Monohydrate), Wheat Starch. Contains 2% or Less of: Salt, Propylene Glycol Mono- and Diesters of Fats and Fatty Acids, Mono- and Diglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Dextrose, Artificial Flavors, Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Yellow 5 Lake, Red 40 Lake. Partially hydrogenated soybean oil should never be eaten in any amount. There is no safe amount - and no one eats 1/12 of a cake (the designated portion size) The trans fatty acids are extremely damaging to your health. Remember when margarine was touted as the better option to butter? Margarine that contains trans fats is in fact poison and is no longer sold. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/scientific-case-for-banning-trans-fats/ The FDA has banned trans fats in the US effective last year. Twenty years before that you would have been advocating for its consumption and innocently asking for "proof" that it's really bad. Look - I don't have to prove anything here. When I go to bake a cake I use flour, sugar, eggs, butter, salt, vanilla. The box mix contains a host of ingredients that are toxic and damaging to your health. Is it a problem if you eat one small slice every few months? Possibly not but there is no safe threshold for trans fats and any consumption is risky. My cake isn't terrific for anyone's health because it contains processed sugar and is a concentrated source of processed carbs that hit your bloodstream with a bang and cause insulin to spike. That's why cake should be a rare indulgence. If you make a genuinely healthier cake that doesn't have bleached flour and white sugar, it might be less damaging - but we haven't evolved to eat the amounts of processed carbs and sugar that we do. This is why we have the epidemic of obesity and diabetes and cancer (note: obesity isn't what you see on the outside, there are plenty of people who are thin on the outside and have far too much fat attached to their internal organs causing disease). Eat cake occasionally and reduce the risks by not eating it from a box. You don't need the carbs and sugar AND trans fats AND preservatives AND additives to challenge your health.

  379. There was an article in the New York Times a few days ago about the Delta variant. Someone wrote a comment about how destroying ourselves and destroying the earth didn't make sense and something about more than one jabs and another jab. It was difficult to determine what he meant other than not liking masking or vaccines. Later on it was clarified, the individual was against both. He would not get vaccinated and was unwilling to wear a mask. My position on this is that if you are willing to remove yourself from society, you can refuse to get vaccinated and/or mask up. If you're willing to take the risk yourself and you do not put anyone else at risk then you do indeed have the freedom to decide. But you would have to remove yourself from society for the duration and If you did get sick, forego care or pay for it yourself. If you decide to not remove yourself and go into public unvaccinated and unmasked and then cause someone else to get sick, there is an argument for depraved indifference charges. In this situation it must be proven not that the individual intended to cause harm, but that he did not care if he did. There is no affirmative intent to cause harm, but instead an absence of care with the knowledge that the absence can have deadly consequences. If you are unvaccinated among others, there is a good chance you will encounter people with diminished immune systems. You don't intend to make them sick but you don't care if you do. In our political climate charges of this nature would probably not be brought, but they should be.

Were you under the mistaken belief that I was pushing soy? Please show me where I did that. Also, it's error to suggest that there is "merit to every single diet" - that's patently false and damaging. There is no merit to the standard american diet - unless, by merit, you mean diabetes, cancer and obesity?

  382. ​​ @5222k  Wasn't there enough in the video for you to find something positive to take instead of making fun of someone for enjoying wine and taking classes on it? Wine is a topic of study. People take classes on wine tasting, the different kinds of grapes and how they can be combined, the different processes, how different types of soil and elevation affect wine, how different kinds of wood used in the casks affects the flavor of the wine and many, many other facets of growing the grapes, making and drinking the wine. People enjoy getting serious about topics they find interesting. For coffee lovers there is no end of interest in different kinds of beans, different ways to make espresso or brew coffee, people can spend hours talking about very small distinctions. Do you make fun of everyone for any interest? You might not have known that wine is a serious subject for many people. I don't get it because I don't like wine it but I love coffee and I'll spend time trying different kinds of coffee beans, tinkering with the grind setting on my espresso machine and trying different accessories. If someone isn't interested in espresso the time I spend on learning about good coffee might seem ridiculous. Does that mean they should respond as you did with a bunch of emojis and laughter? The fact that you don't share an interest doesn't mean laughing at it is right. People can learn about wine at university, enology is the study of wine making (I just looked it up, I wasn't familiar with the term so responding wasn't a waste of time, I learned something!) The point I'm trying to make is that taking time to mock someone for learning about something isn't useful or kind. Yes, people spend years learning about wine. People geek out about different topics and that's a good thing, it makes us all different and strange and interesting.

  383. ​​​​​​​ @michelerenem  When you say that only those with a real problem should comment you are ignoring the fact that we are all different. What constitutes a real problem for one person might not be a problem for another. The professor went over this. Each person has a different response to alcohol that is in part genetic and in part based on their exposure. You said that you drink more and because of that your tolerance may be higher. For a very light or non-drinker, learning about wine and starting to drink two or three times a week could have a significant effect. The video isn't only intended for heavy drinkers. Chronic drinking doesn't have to be heavy drinking. It can be two or three glasses of wine a week, the point is that it is consistent and the person you are responding to said that they had started to drink every week consistently. The fact that your problem is different doesn't invalidate theirs. I understand that from the perception of someone who drinks a lot someone else talking about two glasses of wine seems minimal. Why not instead be glad that she didn't reach the point of drinking heavily? Don't compound your drinking problem with a lack of compassion for others. The fact that she wanted to improve her life and feel better is valuable. You said that you have a problem with alcohol, you should be glad that someone else saw that alcohol was having a negative effect on them and acted before it got worse. For what it's worth, I understand the impulse to be irritated at something that seems like a lesser problem. I also fail at patience in this regard and have to work at it

  385. The far left has a problem with anti-Semitism. David won't say it bluntly but I will because I don't care if I get attacked in these comments. I am far left myself but I'm not going to let that affect my ability to think. BDS gives cover to anti-semites and it doesn't do anything to help the lives of Palestinian Arabs. The fact that so many supporters do not go after other countries with far worse human rights abuses tells the story as does the fact that they do nothing to help. This is hypocrisy and often, not always but often anti-semetism.

He could have talked about how clean keto is healthy and the differences between eating that way and eating dirty keto unhealthily. I think he has a responsibility to come into an interview like this informed and the fact that he did not is very disappointing.

  389.  @wyattb.5085  Unfortunately the values that they hold are held by a large contingent of our population. To say that the things that they believe belong to a small percentage of Americans is an error. There are the older people, there are the middle aged people, and there are those living in the heartland who do not subscribe to liberal ideals. That is a large plurality of the population. And I know that he added that caveat, but the violence and the heat in his words belied the caveat. And it is throwing red meat to the base here to talk about destroying and defeating people with that much anger in your voice. Look, I hold these people in distaste and I detest what they stand for but I know that there are reasons for their beliefs, and I try to have compassion for them even while I work against what they believe in. If you look at some of the comments here there's one guy who's talking about waiting for violence. I don't want us to do that, I want us to be decent and to work for a better world while guarding carefully against damaging ourselves and others.

  390. Someone I care about told me about this channel. He shared a video that I thought was funny and on the strength of that I subscribed. I watched a few more and enjoyed your sense of humor and approach. I understood why he'd recommended the channel, you have a wry wit and critical eye that I appreciate. Then I watched a recent video that was promising because of the topic, superhero movies are often style over substance, glossing over plot holes and other issues with name recognition and momentum. I was looking forward to your take on it. You said something in that video that gave me pause. You were making a comparison and by way of illustration said, "it's like someone saying Madonna looks a bit different these days." Madonna had nothing to do with the movie you were reviewing, you pulled her into it in order to make a joke about her appearance. I'm trying to understand why you would do that. You showed a photo of Madonna from 30 years ago and a more current one. She looked good then and she looks good now. Using a snide tone, the entirety of your joke was mocking a woman who had the temerity to age. She allowed herself to get older instead of conveniently kicking the bucket. Then in this short video you spent considerable time making fun of Amy Schumer. Like Madonna, Schumer has exactly zero to do with the topic of this video but you took the time to make a joke with her as the butt of it, complete with a tortured scream. You dragged her in by analogy just as you did with Madonna in the prior video. In this case, you don't think that she's very funny and her appearance in your view is worthy of mockery. You think that's funny and you think that your audience will laugh with you because you enjoy laughing at women and I guess you think your audience does also. I am going to unsubscribe now because you seem to be a shit and you don't get my subscription. One incidence of ugly sexist humor can perhaps be overlooked. Two in a row, no. I had written part of this comment intending to post it to the prior video but I didn't, thinking I would wait and see. Then I watched this one and it stood out. It's unfortunate because you're funny and you don't need to take ugly potshots at women to earn an audience. In this case, it cost you one.

Don't show your hair, don't show your skin, be modest and if you aren't... it's YOUR fault when you get harassed or raped. You are here commenting on a PROGRESSIVE channel and advocating for women to keep their hair covered? What is wrong with you?

  396. That's not even true. Get rid of sugar and all processed food, all processed carbohydrates, most of the vegetables that have anti-nutrients and oxalates in them. Eat a primarily carnivore diet, fat as a macronutrient should comprise 60% at least of your intake in a given day. Your energy won't go down, it will go way up. Meat from grass-fed cows. Butter from grass-fed cows. Eggs from pasture-raised chickens. Eat once or at most twice a day until you are full and satisfied and then stop. If a person eats a lot of processed food they might need a week to transition to eating healthily but once there the energy increase is phenomenal. Look up Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Paul Mason, Dr Georgia Ede.

  398. The term "wellness product" makes me cringe. The term wellness in general is awful. Let's just call it what it is, health. As soon as we start talking about wellness we conjure up a slew of grifters starting with people like Gwyneth Paltrow (Goop) through many YouTube wellness personalities who will all happily sell you their overpriced garbage while trying to persuade you that it will make you healthy. Some of these people have been interviewed by this channel. You don't need special products to be healthy. You need to eat real food. Eat real food, not packaged processed junk regardless of what the label says. Get good sleep. Do something with your life that makes you feel like you are accomplishing something worth doing, if you can't do it for your work do it in your spare time. Feeling that we are helping others and doing something useful is important for mental and emotional well-being. It could be raising a family, it could be helping people in your community, do something that helps others. Get good sleep. This can't be emphasized enough. Sleep is incredibly important. Even if it doesn't seem useful, try to start meditating or adopt some kind of mindfulness practice. It can begin with laying in bed at night and breathing. It doesn't have to be complicated, it doesn't have to involve a yoga mat in someone's studio. So much of what we think we need is marketing. A health labeled product is almost by definition an oxymoron. If it's a labeled product rather than a whole food it isn't healthy. Eat real food, do something meaningful, get good sleep, some sort of mindfulness practice and show up every day. Learn things, try to practice kindness even when you don't feel kind as I frequently do not. Show up for people.

  401.  @MySqueezingArm  I guess that's the point. When I type quickly I don't have to think about good grammar or using the correct words. Someone isn't dead they aren't past tense. I don't have to think about that it's an obvious thing. That versus who is the same thing for me. I don't have to think about it to be accurate. I don't know what you do for a living or if literacy matters but it should matter for all of us. How we communicate matters. It is valuable to communicate accurately because it promotes clarity of thinking. You don't have to agree with me but I am objectively right here. If you have to think about that versus who or is versus was it might be something you work on a little bit. We should all want to communicate well. But that is a personal choice. Good grammar isn't the issue it is using the correct words to convey your thoughts. Ideally you wouldn't have to think about that it should just flown naturally. I probably shouldn't have responded but it's important to me so I did. There was no intent to hurt your feelings or be negative.

How are we different then? We can say he's a terrible person, that he's responsible for a lot of pain and misery. We can and should hold him responsible for that. That's a more serious and real consequence than making ugly jokes that celebrate misfortune. Do you disagree?

  403.  @tonyhawkins1258  I'm not vilifying him for being a white middle class man. I'm not vilifying him at all. I pointed out that the analogy he made was not a good one. These videos are intended to provide help and advice for the general public. How well do you think Jonathan's tone deafness goes over? We are post pandemic in a time of scarcity, the majority do not buy a bottle of wine with their bread. Coming across as a condescending ass, out of touch with reality is not a good look. Many professionals start out poor. People work hard and those are the people I would listen to. A white middle class man who is out of touch with reality, who frequently condescends to people he speaks to is not someone I would take advice from. Doctors, professors, researchers are not by definition middle class. When people work hard and attain a measure of security that does not mean that they should sit back smilingly and condescend in a time of scarcity.

  408.  @wilsont1010  there's no way I'm going to ingest canola oil. I don't care about the OSI index because I don't fry. If I need a cooking fat I will use ghee or butter or an animal fat. I do have avocado oil in the house and I use it sparingly and very rarely. We don't need pro-inflammatory omega-6 heavy oils in our diet regardless of what the index says. The index measures oxidative stability it doesn't address the issue of health, of whether the oil is good to eat. Canola oil is not good to eat.
    2
  409. @wilsont1010 If you are looking to troll this is not the place. People generally are looking for accurate information here. Canola oil has one of the lowest OSI. That doesn't mean it's healthy for several reasons that have already been discussed. In the prior comment, you said "Guess which oil has the lowest OSI index?" That was your question. I answered canola oil. You then turned around and said "no one is talking about canola oil." You were talking about canola oil. It was your question. Please don't do that, it's a waste of my time and of yours too. If you're going to ask a question expect an answer. When you get that answer it's not valid to pretend that you hadn't asked the question in the prior comment. I also don't understand the point in asking questions as though there was some mystery as to the answers. There is no one healthiest oil. We aren't playing Jeopardy. If you feel you have an answer to a question, offer it. Otherwise I'm going to assume that you don't know the answer. With regard to your question, there is no healthiest oil. It depends on what you're doing with that oil. If you're using it on a salad you want cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. If you are the very rare person who doesn't get sufficient omega-6 in their diet then it would be a different oil. If you are someone who, like most Americans, gets too much omega-6 there is no healthiest oil because they all have more omega-6 than omega-3. For that reason you would prefer a grass-fed animal fat, grass-fed butter or ghee. It goes without saying that the ghee should be made from grass-fed butter. I don't understand the combative approach. We are all here to get and share information. It isn't a competition, it isn't a game of Jeopardy neither is it the Socratic method for teaching a class of law students. Offering questions without answers and then sitting back and pretending that you didn't ask the question or asking questions that don't have good answers is not a good use of anyone's time. There is no one healthiest oil. There are better options depending on the use case. The fact that canola oil has a high oil stability index doesn't mean that it's a good oil to eat because it is very high in omega-6 and most canola oil on the market is ultra processed.

You're reinforcing the idea that if someone is overweight, they don't deserve better. I don't think portraying Joe as tired and fat was a coincidence. Are you also suggesting here that if you are not the beneficiary of positive input, you're going to get fat and sad? Or did he not get the positive input he needed because he was fat? This linking of weight and sadness and failure is extremely irresponsible and worse, it's wrong. From a channel that is ostensibly about education, you guys really failed on this one. Given the topic of the video, it had to have been done intentionally. And that moves it from the category of a bad mistake into willful harm.

  412.  @classwarhooligan923  I'm not forgetting them. There is so much we have to do to "make America great" (not again, just great - to borrow their expression). Healthcare for everyone, like other countries have. I've lived in two countries with universal healthcare. No one ever went without food in order to pay for life saving medication. No one ever worried about going to the doctor or how they'd pay for it. When healthcare is a for profit industry so much of the money goes into the coffers of insurance companies and middlemen. The US spends more than TWICE per capita more than the next country behind us and we have the 13th best outcome among the wealthier nations of the world. We spend twice as much and have markedly worse outcomes. Why are we okay with that? Corporations have far too much power and the government does not reign them in, to the country, as a result of lobbying, corporate interests largely make the laws. The same insulin made in the same factory costs 9 times more here than it does across the border in Canada. Why is that? Do you think the company doesn't make a good profit from the drugs sold in Canada? It does -- but it makes an obscene profit on what is sold here because there is little oversight, they are able to price gouge as they wish. The Democratic party has failed those it should be serving. As you already know, today's democratic party would be unrecognizable to someone like FDR who in the 1930s was in favor of it. Bernie Sanders, vilified as "far left" would be right at home with FDR - today's democratic party has moved so far to the right there is little difference between it and the Republican party. One is to the right and the other is further to the right.

  414.  @mattschrader5047  The last sentence gave away your influence. Jordan Peterson is not someone to take life advice from. Some of the things he has written are helpful for the group that would best benefit from that life advice but a lot of it is wrong. He comes from it deeply conservative background. You would do well to be aware of the valid criticisms that have been made against him. The idea that men represent logic and women represent chaos is deeply flawed unless you happen to be a young white man who needs to believe that he inherently represents light. He thinks that men and women can't really work well together, that women using cosmetics at work are really trying to sexually attract men. A lot of his beliefs are dated. Some of the self-help is useful. Clean up your room. Take better care of yourself, treat the people around you with decency, treat yourself with self-respect. But the idea that we shouldn't try to change society until everything in our own lives has been straightened out is error. Almost no one other than the very wealthy reach a point where their lives are completely sorted out. The reason for that is the societal issues. If you can't work on those until your own life is perfect, you never will. That is the point. It leaves power and influence in the hands of the very few who already have them while scolding the rest to take care of their own issues. That's not possible without some societal change. But if you can't work on societal change until your own life is sorted and you can't do that until there is societal change, you have nowhere to go. Balance. Work on your own issues while also working on the larger ones that affect your issues. Having the wisdom to know the difference and the ability to balance both is the skill everyone should be working on. We need societal change, those with power and influence are not going to create that change because they have no incentive to do so. It's fine to appreciate someone for their good advice while being aware of their limitations. You can appreciate Jordan Peterson for anything he has said that has helped you while recognizing that he is a product of his times and background and that those factors will affect the advice he gives.

  415.  @jackjines3461  you are a firm believer in these things because it is soothing and reassuring to believe them. That doesn't mean they're true. I wrote a lengthy comment above, find it and read it. After you do so we can have a conversation. You probably won't do that because you'd prefer to not have the foundations of your belief shaken. Believing that it is the fault of those who are suffering frees you up to not work for change. That is deeply unfortunate for you and for society in general.

  416.  @Shewolfen  I feel your frustration and I feel it also. So many of the people in this comment section don't get it because they haven't experienced it. One of the other problems we have in this country is a lack of education. People genuinely do not get it unless they experience it themselves. Then there are the many who are influenced by so-called conservative media and need to believe that it's the fault of those suffering because if they didn't, they'd feel that they had to do something about it. Everything in your comment is accurate. I represented people applying for SSI/SSD, the system works sometimes and after great delay. If you don't have family or friends to sustain you until that point, you fall between the cracks and your situation worsens until you are homeless with nothing. That is how the system works. With regard to healthcare, I won't repeat everything that I said in the very long comment above that you responded to. It is a source of constant frustration that the majority of the population here has been convinced that this is how it has to be when other countries have working models that are so much better and result in better lives for millions and millions of people. An additional issue is how far to the right we've moved as a country. FDR created the Social Security system and believed in universal healthcare. Today if you were to try to create any sort of entitlement you would be met with screams of horror and accused of being a communist. We don't have a party that represents the needs of the people. The Democratic party is to the left of the Republican party but that isn't saying a great deal because they too are beholden to corporate interests. If you look at the spectrum of political beliefs, our Democratic party is fairly close to the conservative party. There is not much more to the right but there is a tremendous amount of space to the left. In any other country, someone like Bernie Sanders would not be considered a crazy leftist, he would be simply an average left of center politician. That's how far to the right we've moved.

  420. Do you use that kind of language to refer to anyone you dislike or do you reserve it especially for women? I would have no difficulty naming thousands of people who have done worse, do you hate them as much? Pelosi made a serious mistake in judgment and should be criticized for it. She gave Trump ammunition that she never should have given. I also have a lot of problems with using public office for the accumulation of wealth. There is a lot wrong with our system but I'm not sure I understand calling her a b** because of it.

  421. I loathe and detest Ted Cruz and everything he stands for but this video is wrong and unseemly. In order to incite the audience? To get them to cheer, much the way Trump does? This is distasteful and one of the reasons I have dropped my tyt paid membership this month.

  423.  @wvu05  He mocked him is probably more correct. Why would you engage in this kind of wholesale mockery of somebody who is clearly ignorant? This isn't the powerful person, this is an ignorant angry kid. it was a missed opportunity to plant the seeds of knowledge. That would have been the right thing to do but instead they had to just go for the laugh and mock the kid and cause him to dig his heels in more deeply and solidify his ignorance and stupidity.

  424.  @DragonMaiden77  I keep trying to respond to your comment and each time I get so irritated that my response becomes heated. The idea that someone would change their views because they've been humiliated is ridiculous. No one changes their mind because a group of people with whom they disagree mocks them and laughs at them. If you think anyone does, you are lacking basic understanding of human nature and psychology. I think the underlying issue is the second thing that you said, that you do not have patience or compassion because there are too many racists out there. Yes, there are. What is your plan then for changing their minds? The kid is racist, yes. What is your point? That because he is a racist, because this kid has absorbed stupidity from those around him, that he is therefore garbage and should be thrown out? That because of this he deserves whatever ugliness you want to throw at him? I'm trying very hard to be patient with you, and you carry around at least one viewpoint that is wrong and misguided. We don't crucify people who have absorbed erroneous viewpoints. We educate them. This isn't a seventy-five-year-old, this is a kid who will grow up, get married, have children and live in a community. If you want to change the world and make it a better place you have to educate people, not cause them to double down on their stupidity. I don't think it was in Sam's power to change this kid's mind in one conversation. But he could have planted the seeds. Instead we have half an hour of laughter and mockery that most of his audience enjoyed, but which has the effect of pushing the kid further to the right. And before you criticize me, I am not suggesting that we do not fight these people. We fight them in every way we can to make the world a better place. But where there are opportunities to change hearts and minds, we do that. We don't sit back smug in our superiority and mock them because all that does is turn people away from us with the net result of worsening the situation. The half an hour of laughter isn't worth it.

  428.  @Isaac-un4cn  This is what bothers me. For some of these folks she can't win. No matter what she does they will criticize her. If she shares the details of a conversation, it's wrong, if she doesn't share the details she's manipulative. This is exactly what she's talking about and I agree with her. It isn't going to cause me to not vote for Bernie but I can acknowledge a problem on our side. It exists and it needs to be addressed. I would have loved to have seen a Sanders Warren ticket.

  429.  @xXRickTrolledXx  Fabricates? How does it feel to finally have an excuse to voice all of the dislike and distaste you've had for her? Does it feel good? Were you under the impression that you were successfully lying to anyone other than yourself? It's fascinating that in this country where women are allegedly far more equal than anywhere else, so much putrid sexism still exists. Arab countries have had female leaders. Israel has had a woman leader. The various European and Scandinavian nations have. But here? Here, you find people piously mouthing platitudes about how they will vote for a woman (although they never actually do so) but the moment an opportunity arises she's "fabricating" or manipulative or any other rotten sexist trope. It never occurs to you that they could have misunderstood each other? Bernie might have said that he thought this year a woman was not be electable and that could have been taken more broadly than he intended. And If he did say it he wasn't wrong. The majority of trump supporters will not vote for a woman. Neither, to be honest, would you. How do I know this? I know it because of the way your mind works, how you have fallen back on the ugliest of stereotypes with the slightest of excuses and your lack of awareness.

  430.  @az-tl3mh  I agree with you. I'm a Sanders supporter and a woman. I volunteer for his campaign and I donate money. I still get attacked here when I suggest that we shouldn't assume that Warren is a scheming manipulative liar. Someone told me that I'm not a "true blue Bernie supporter" because I disagreed. I understand the anger. I feel that same anger myself. But I also recognize that Elizabeth Warren is on our side in large part. We aren't helping our cause if we assume the worst and attack her.

  431.  @nura6889  Thank you for your kind words. I just got done responding to someone who was informing me that Elizabeth Warren is a fake progressive. I often don't know if the people posting these kinds of things are bots or trolls or genuinely believe it. We are turning on each other and attacking each other and giving no leeway or credit for good intentions. People should reserve their rage and anger for Trump and for those who genuinely want to do harm. Right now my main focus is on trying to prevent Biden from becoming the nominee, while he would be better than Trump (It's hard to imagine someone worse) a Biden presidency would worsen the conditions that led to Trump being elected in the first place.

  433.  @stoneman472  The response I left for the other guy could have been written for you too. Apparently it's a very bad thing to tell internet dudes that their sense of humor is disparaging or ugly. Grow up. There is a veritable universe of things to validly attack where Peterson is concerned. There is no need to engage in sniggering innuendo with regard to his daughter. Not only is there no need to do it, it weakens the left and gives ammunition to the right. If he'd made a joke about how Peterson was exploiting his daughter by showing her in a bikini to appeal to his base and what the hell is that - it would have been stronger. And hell yes, I'm a liberal among other things. Why is that a problem for you?

  434.  @dogcrazy25  Bikman definitely has useful information to share, but Dr Jason Fung is all around a fantastic source of information on all fronts. And Dr Fung is not focused on fasting, I think your information might be out of date. He focuses on eating healthily and that includes intermittent fasting for most people because we eat too much and too frequently.

  435. "A useful idiot is a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause—particularly a bad cause originating from a devious, ruthless source—without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically being used by the cause's leaders." She is the very definition of a useful idiot. It is difficult to listen to her struggle without any self-awareness. She doesn't seem to have any recognition of the fact that she knows nothing and is still propagandizing on behalf of a cause that she does not understand. I want to have empathy for her because she is young and apparently well-intentioned but I am failing at that because of the harm done.

  440. I like your videos but I'm not sure about the message regarding hip hop. You wear a tee-shirt that says "I'm hip hop" and then almost smirk while acknowledging that hip hop can be misogynistic. Why do it that way? It absolutely can be extremely ugly and misogynistic. No smirk, nudge, wink or tee-shirt required. There is hip hop that isn't misogynistic and there is a lot of it that teaches that women are pussy, not people. Why not make a clean acknowledgement of that? We want white people to be more aware, don't we also want black men to be more aware of the messages in hip hop and how it damages men and women? If you hadn't worn that tee-shirt, if you hadn't been so grudging in your acknowledgement, I'd feel a lot better about your position and honesty on this topic.

  441. The thing is, you are delusional if you think Andrew Yang has any chance of becoming the nominee. Why would you say that Warren is a liar? What kind of over-the-top ridiculous purity test are you imposing? if you are the type of person who will not vote unless it is Andrew Yang, you're going to give us a second term of Trump. To be clear, I think that Yang has some good ideas. But he is not going to be the nominee. Why don't you push for something realistic, for getting his ideas incorporated into a progressive platform.

  442. Come on, you understand that's not the point. It's frustrating when people pretend otherwise. The point is right now in the midst of a pandemic when tens of millions of people are out of work and struggling to eat, at that particular point in time displaying your wealth is in bad taste and gives ammunition to the other side. At a different time this would have been fine. It's tone deaf. It's far too easy to riff on let them eat cake, this should have been anticipated.

  443.  @richiejohnson  You seem to be saying that because Trump is a thousand times worse, Pelosi's mistake is okay. Please try not to double down on an error, we know who does that, don't we? Trump. You don't want to be like Trump. No one should. You might also consider avoiding words like nonsense when addressing others. I'm sure you understand that using words like that causes an immediate flare-up of hostility on the part of the person you are attacking. If your goal is civil discourse, write in accordance with that. I'm going to reiterate what I said. Trump is 10,000 times worse. That is not in debate. The point being made is that Nancy Pelosi in allowing herself to be filmed in her lovely home displaying hundreds of dollars worth of treats and chuckling about how much she loves ice cream was tone deaf. Pelosi has displayed good political instincts for decades. That's why she has the career and success that she does. Is it your belief that the existence of something horrible renders everything else acceptable? If it is, there is a problem with your way of thinking. It is correct of us to point out how much of a misstep Pelosi's video was. In a time when tens of millions of Americans are unemployed and going hungry, for the speaker of the House to chuckle about how much she loves ice cream and chocolate while displaying these things amidst her expensive home was a gaffe. I don't like the term optics, but it was bad optics. You're familiar with Marie Antoinette's let them eat cake? This so very easily put let them eat ice cream into the hands of the Republicans, and that is an effective attack that she should have thought of in advance. It's also lacking compassion. Pelosi has made herself very rich. In our country everyone believes that they are a few steps away from also becoming rich. There isn't a lot of understanding here as to the reality that if you have people who own thousands of times more than others, there will not be enough left for everyone to have enough. This isn't an attack on capitalism, but it is an attack on our form of capitalism, one whose end point Is the ultimate concentration of wealth in the hands of a very, very few people. We have reached that point and it is getting worse. That is another reason her video was a misstep. Bernie Sanders, the ideas of the left, all of these things are pointing to the necessity for income equality, for healthcare for everyone, for everyone to have access to healthy food and housing. Showing the world how much larger your portion of all of these things is, at a time when so many people are struggling for a baseline of anything, of housing, of food, of health care, is bad judgment.

  444.  @richiejohnson  I'm going to guess that you are an adult also and that you are a thinking person. I understand how frustrated you feel. There are times when I get angry and my comments show it. Most of the time though I try to reach people even though some of them might not be reachable. I have to hope that it's cumulative that reading something from someone might sway them a little bit, then reading something else might swim a little bit more, drip by drip? Maybe that's too optimistic but otherwise it would be too depressing.

  445.  @daemontools6721   No, you're not right. You're not right about any of this starting with "you're the type of guy" and on through the rest of it. Amirite is also kind of cringe. I was making the point that it's wrong to judge people based on an external quality that they have no control over. Age, sex, nationality, etc. Assuming that everyone over the age of 55 doesn't know about computers is an error. I brought up the example of Bill Gates to make the point. Are you the kind of person who assumes that women can't play video games? Do you think politicians should be males? Do you think minorities aren't quite as intelligent as others? What other kinds of ridiculous assumptions about groups of people do you believe? If you think that everyone over the age of 55 views computers as magic, you might be. I don't find it useful to make blanket assumptions about people. Perhaps you might consider doing the same.

  447. ​​​​ @leonardodavinci7425  Modern fruit bears no resemblance to the fruit we ate thousands of years ago. Modern fruit is grown to be as sweet as possible. It is intentionally grown to please modern palettes. Modern palettes look for more sweetness, the amount of fructose is increased. Fructose as you may know is utilized solely by the liver. Only our livers can use and burn fructose. If you are a metabolically healthy person which the vast majority of people in the United States are not, you can afford to eat a banana or two. Eating lots of fruit is not wise for most of us. Eating too much fructose results in fatty liver and insulin resistance. This isn't quackery it's science. I disagree with a lot of what he says but he is correct that eating lots of very sweet fruit can be a burden to your system. There is a lot more I could explain but someone who approaches a discussion with the word quackery might not be open to information that contradicts what he believes to be true. If this is not the case, let me know and I will provide more detail.

  449.  @wardienwicks2211  This is interesting. You don't know me or my politics or what I do for a living or the quality of my soul - and yet you can call me a coward and a pushover. Being willing to engage that way with such limited information based on a single youtube comment says a great deal about your state of mind. If I were in your place I might want to think more, assume less, and act from a place of reason and thought.

  450.  @wardienwicks2211  I'm a traitor to my own people? Because I've acknowledged that police officers have a stressful job and that complying with a request where it doesn't harm me or abridge my rights is a reasonable thing to do? You did see that I said this in the original comment: "I am not justifying lying or bad behavior on the part of a police officer. What I am trying to do is point out that this is more nuanced then the video suggests." I said that the issue is more nuanced and that I was not justifying lying or bad behavior on the part of an officer and yet you feel that it's correct to attack me and accuse me of a lack of decency? That's actually a little frightening. If you respond this way to someone suggesting that it isn't a bad thing to step back when requested to do so by a police officer, how do you respond to genuinely questionable issues? With more heat? Anger? Rage? Violence? Hatred? Worse name calling? You might want to talk to someone and get control of yourself. If someone is trying to be rational and to look at both sides of an issue, you might do the same. Things are rarely black and white - sure, they are sometimes and there are egregious violations that we should respond to with heat but this is not that situation. Further, it is in no way your place to tell me what channel I should watch. And as far as human decency is concerned, I have a great degree more of it than you do as evidenced by the fact that I am maintaining a basic degree of civility in the face of provocation.

  452. I wrote a comment that expresses what I think. I don't think the Democratic party was right but neither do I believe that a blanket condemnation of all policy is correct especially when Trump is not judged by that same standard. If by policies you mean paying for transition for trans people who are in prison for crimes, I agree. That should not be a policy. If you mean pronouns and land use acknowledgments and all the rest of that, I agree with you. What I'm trying to say though is that he will not make the life of the average American better. He has nothing but contempt and disdain for working people he has expressed that hundreds of times. Please read my comment, it's lengthy but it expresses what I think and if you disagree please tell me why.

  453. @nathansawyers6102  Nathan, I don't disagree with some of the points being made. I wrote a comment above, not as a response to someone else's comment. Would you take a moment to read it and then let me know what you disagree with? I lived in Israel for 12 years, I used to consider myself a Democrat but a center to right Democrat, not a left-leaning Democrat. I agree the Democratic party has made a lot of mistakes and they have not spoken to the average American, they haven't addressed the concerns that people have. Bernie Sanders said the Democratic party abandoned the working-class American before the working-class American abandoned the Democratic party. I agree with that. The Democratic party elite aren't representing working Americans.

  455. It is terrifying that 40% of the country support Trump. How did we get to a place where so many people lack the basic critical thinking skills necessary to reject someone so transparently terrible? The GOP in general thrives on ignorance. The greater the population that is uneducated the easier it is to manipulate them into supporting someone like Trump. Poor white working class people support Trump against their own interests because he and the GOP give them scapegoats for their problems. They don't accept any responsibility, instead manipulate their followers into hating others. And those followers lack the critical thinking skills to see through it. The Democratic party also has its share of blame. For decades now mainstream Democrats have not addressed the problems of the working class. How is it that every other advanced nation has healthcare? Childcare? A robust social safety net within a capitalist framework? Instead here, when these questions are raised people shout them down and call them extreme left wing, socialist, communist and other things that they aren't. It isn't socialist or communist or extreme to expect your taxes to go towards a safety net. It isn't extreme to expect health care as a right of citizenship. It isn't extreme to expect corporations doing business in your country to pay a living wage to those working for them. It isn't leftist or extreme to expect your country to offer education to all of its citizens sufficient to inoculate them against someone like Trump.

  456. Why were there multiple clips from Jordan Peterson? That is enough to cause me to want to unsub. It is humiliating that I have shared this channel and recommended it to friends. If you're going to cite a nut job charlatan like Peterson you better make clear that you're doing it ironically or in order to mock, and neither of those two things happened. You cited him intentionally as a resource for two of your propositions. What are you going to be telling us next, that women wearing makeup at work is an invitation to sexual harassment? Why would you cite Peterson as an expert on what religious people feel or do not feel? He is a gateway to the alt right, and has talked about Hitler sympathetically stating that all Hitler really wanted to do was clean up Europe. I cannot believe that you are unaware of the things that he stands for. This is a dog whistle for anti-Semitism. It also shows a lack of discernment on your part. You have presented yourself as someone who does a lot of research and who does his due diligence on every topic that he presents. I cannot believe for a moment that with all of that research you are not aware of who Jordan Peterson is and what he stands for. You had to have done this mindfully and with awareness. This makes me feel anger and frustration. I have shared your videos with friends and recommended this channel. I would never have done that nor would I have given you the benefit of my subscription or my views if I had known that this is who you are.

  457.  @adalaza  Jordan Peterson is a charlatan who is a Holocaust denier and gateway to the alt right. Are you next going to be citing Joseph Mengele for medical propositions? Do you say, "Oh hey this scholar was right about this one small thing so let's disregard every other evil wrong-headed thing that he did?" Of course we don't do that. There are far better resources to use than Jordan Peterson, don't be an apologist. This is a dog whistle for anti-Semitism. I'm not sure if you are pretending to be unaware or if you are very much aware and simply don't care.

  458. "We're not going to let Kamala Harris cut America's meat!" I thought this was a joke at first because the things he's saying Biden and Harris want to do are so reasonable. Let's see, change America's diet so that we don't destroy the planet and so that less Americans die every year of diabetes and cancer, check. Is that supposed to be a bad thing? It's more their supporters who die of these diseases. Even his audience isn't sure how to react at first. "Huh that sounds reasonable, are we supposed to be against it? Oh, right boo boo!" Really funny. He is so bad at this it is legitimately surprising. Harris was not my first choice. Nor was she my second or third but I understand why Biden went with her. She is reassuring to all of those people who are afraid of the left. They can look at her and see someone who is very much a centrist and not an AOC or Bernie. But at the same time she is black and it is a milestone that is long overdue. I just didn't want it to be someone who is center, or center right. I wanted somebody who would fight for healthcare for all, someone who would understand the healthcare is a human right not a privilege for those who are lucky enough to be born to a wealthy family. There are a lot of things that are understood in other countries that are still subject to debate here. people like Biden and Harris are not left, they are closer to right of center anywhere else. Anyway, for the meantime let's save the country. I know many of you agree with me and are angry and want to sit this out. Please don't do it. We will have our turn, it's coming and in the meanwhile let's not allow the most vulnerable among us to suffer because we're angry with the democratic party.

  459. This was a perceptive comment. I think if you had made this comment when the video came out it would have been close to the top. For what it's worth, you're right. I'm not sure he could have pointed that out easily but it would have been good if he had. Are you studying psychology? Or just naturally good at spotting things?

  460. I don't like excusing the "I wouldn't f*** her" comment. We have to be willing to be honest and say something is offensive regardless of who says it. "They're lads, they're laddish, actors are quite laddish" is precisely the same thing as saying boys will be boys. I genuinely thought we had gotten past that, on the right, on the left, I didn't think I would ever hear a grown man excusing something damaging on the grounds that boys will be boys. "They're young horny dudes" he said then proceeded to repeat "you know" a couple of times until he finally said "you know, they're usually quite good looking. They're young horny dudes." What is the relevance of them being good looking or young horny dudes? How is that an explanation or reason to excuse saying something objectively awful? It appears to be his contention that young horny dudes should be excused when they say terrible things because they are young and horny? Boys will be boys? Respectfully, Andrew, this would have been a good moment for you to push back. Unfortunately you didn't do that. He continued saying "I just feel for him because he's very exposed. He's a conservative" to which you responded "that is a shame, I don't know what to feel about anything anymore." Yes,.you do know what to feel about this. You should feel that it is unacceptable. It doesn't matter that he is a conservative. If someone is perceived to be on our side, if they share our political views, they get a pass? You don't know what to feel about anything anymore? Sure you do. You should feel the same way you would regardless of who says it. The fact that he's a good actor, laddish, young and horny? All of that has exactly zero to do with him saying that he wouldn't f*ck someone, calling a woman unf*ckable in public. I don't care what his politics are or how young and horny he is. Neither should you. How would you feel if anyone said that about any woman in your life? Think about that for a moment, actually you shouldn't need to think about it. This is an example of something that is patently obvious on its face. As soon as he said it I thought you would push back, I didn't think you would criticize your guest but I was certain you would gently say that it's not okay. Is this that type of channel? Where we call things out that need to be called out but only on the other side? Those we perceive to be on our side get a pass? He called a woman unf*ckable. This is an easy one. We know how to feel about it, it's not okay.

  461. It is very sad and the thing I find even more distressing is the style of narration. This individual is a licensed physician and he is taking advantage of a segment of the public's desire for and enjoyment of macabre medical stories to make money. This bothers me a lot. People have that side to them but feeding it knowingly is unethical. This is similar to the video on nutmeg, where he engages in a similar style of narration, melodramatic and goofy making it seem as though it's a big joke. People do stupid things. Making those things into a joke, using them for the entertainment of others, for those who enjoy feeling superior and think that they would never do something so stupid, is not only unethical for a physician or indeed for anyone, it's distasteful.

  462.  @combatepistemologist  I was a little harsh but this kind of video bothers me a lot. You know the trends, eating Tide pods, eating nutmeg, doing dumb stuff as a dare. One of his videos was in my queue today and I wasn't familiar so I watched it and as I watched I become and more uncomfortable. The tone of voice when describing the guy's brain smashing against his skull, the enjoyment and relish in his tone as though he were reading a scary story at a campfire. This was a human being who died in pain and as a result of doing something he didn't know was dangerous. Why would anyone think it's an appropriate subject for a fun video? The culture in general now is in a bad place. There is rampant stupidity (40 percent of the population continue to support Trump) and a general lack of critical thinking skills. I get that this paints me as lacking in humor but my sense of humor is intact, it just isn't funny or enjoyable for me to listen to a melodramatic reenactment of someone's painful death. This style of video doesn't elicit empathy in those watching, it feeds something darker and uglier, the sneering laughter of "haha what a dumbass I'm smarter than that." That isn't something this MD should be feeding. First, do no harm and this absolutely does harm. Finally, of course it is for the money. Money/fame/attention/greed - name it, that's why these videos are made. He is a doctor; that should mean possessing enough intelligence to understand why videos like these are harmful. That he continues to make them shows that he enjoys it and enjoys the additional audience and fame (and money) it has brought him. Coming to the end of this response, I no longer think I was too harsh. These videos, monetizing people's mistakes or dumb choices that cause death for the entertainment and enjoyment of the audience, are disgusting. Why do you watch them?

  463.  @m-hadji  I am a big believer in Dr Fung and intermittent fasting also. Unfortunately there is so much inaccurate information out there promoted by companies that benefit from their products continuing to be sold. We don't teach nutrition or cooking in school. Most of the people I know online have fast food delivered at least once a day. They don't know the first thing about cooking or eating healthily. Everything they eat comes out of a package.

  464.  @candicemay  You learn to cook for yourself. It's not difficult, it does require the willingness to learn and to care. You already have those because you're watching these videos. Intermittent fasting and eating real food are the answers. The fact that processed food and sugar are everywhere doesn't mean that we have to eat it. The fact that poison is all around you doesn't mean you have to engage with it. We have the ability to make better choices. Once you know, once you really know how bad these things are for you you won't want them anymore, at least not as much. I've lost 130 lb over the past few years. I'm keeping it off. I'm not hungry, I don't feel deprived and I'm healthier than I have ever been. I usually eat two meals a day, sometimes one. I'll make an omelette or scramble some eggs for my first meal which is in the late morning or early afternoon, I'll put cheese and vegetables in it and eat that with half an avocado with lemon juice and salt. Avocado is delicious with lemon juice and salt and very satiating. I do have coffee mid morning with about an ounce of heavy cream. No sugar. Really good coffee does not need sugar. I would have laughed if someone had told me this 10 years ago but it's true. If I don't have time to make that first meal I'll take some macadamia nuts with me or beef jerky without sugar, it exists you have to find it, there are a couple of good brands. Kalahari Biltong is one of those, it comes in 2 oz packages I get the original flavor. Zero carbohydrate. Epic also makes jerky that is low carbohydrate, they have a salt and pepper venison and a wagyu steak in addition to a salmon jerky that I haven't tried. The wagyu has four grams of carbohydrate but it tastes better it's a good option for occasional use. The Kalahari is my daily go to for a no carbohydrate portable food. For dinner I'll have grass-fed beef or wild caught fish or pasture raised chicken with oven roasted green beans or any other oven roasted vegetable. Oven roasting results in browning and crispiness and makes the vegetable taste better. I also saute spinach in the pan that I cooked the steak in, the fond from the steak makes any vegetable you cook in that pan delicious. If I know I'm making steak I'll be sure to have a pile of greens waiting to cook in that pan. Spinach, any kind of green, baby bok choy, whatever you like. I also buy olives stuffed with garlic they are delicious and having a few of those with your meal is filling and gives you an additional source of healthy fat. I'll eat some cheese if I'm hungry and a kiwi or blueberries at the end of the meal occasionally. You won't be hungry because after all of this you will have eaten a plate of food of good food that will leave you full for hours. The key is to not to starve yourself. When we eat, we eat until we are comfortably full. Not stuffed but not hungry. Healthy food is more expensive but if you are only eating once or twice a day and not buying junk, not eating takeout or fast food most of us can afford to spend a few more dollars on better quality food. It's a process, over time you learn to cook. You find good resources. It isn't something that happens overnight. You will figure out right away what things you like. It doesn't take a lot of knowledge to make scrambled eggs or an omelette, to cut an avocado and squeeze some fresh lemon juice on it and add some salt. Making steak in a pan takes a little bit of practice but it's not difficult you very quickly learn how you like it. Medium well, medium rare, you learn. If you don't already know you'll learn how to cook a whole chicken and put the bones in the ziploc bag in the freezer to make stock out of. Not everyone does this but homemade stock is phenomenal for cooking. Getting used to not eating prepared foods might take a few weeks but it's worth the effort. If you have any questions please let me know and I'll try to answer them.

  465.  @TheGreatPinkPillow27  Hey. I loathe and detest her. I don't disagree with what you're saying or how you feel. Please tell me though that you see a difference between pointing out all of the awful things that she says, the lies she tells, the damage she does by telling them and saying she whores herself out in a 7/11? It''s more effective to point out the actual facts. She is an abhorrent person, a hypocrite and a liar. But there is a difference between saying the things that are true and engaging in misogynistic ugliness. In her case there are so many awful things that are true there should be no need to go there.

  467. Would you please stop mocking Bernie Sanders? Every time time you find the opportunity to make fun of him, why do you do that? It's a huge turnoff for me because senator Sanders may be our best hope in 2020, and at the very least he deserves to be taken seriously. Stop taking potshots at him, stop making jokes at his expense. Stop the mockery of his accent, stop the cute little asides about old man sarcasm, when you do that you delegitimize him and it really bothers a lot of people that you do that. It sends the message that he shouldn't be taken seriously, that he's cute and adorable and maybe he's right but he's someone to be patted on the head.

  469. Those of you complaining that PBS and the media are trying to divide the country, please stop and think more clearly. These issues are not going to disappear by ignoring them. There are deep problems in America that have to be addressed. If we pretend that all of this is over and done with because we have a sane president, they will flare up again at the first opportunity. There are deep-seated reasons for the hatred and rage. Neither party has prioritized education, health care, a genuine living wage for everyone. Unfortunately many working class white people in this country view the progress and gains of minorities as at their expense. They view progress as a zero-sum game. That and a lack of education, the deprioritization of critical thinking skills, has created a dangerous situation. We have to address this on several fronts. We have to fix the social safety net, ensure that people who are working can live a life of dignity. We have to prioritize education and do our best to inoculate people against manipulation.

  470. You think it's common sense that she said that she had never been sexually assaulted because she made good choices and never put herself in that position? That isn't remotely common sense. That is horrific level of victim blaming. The overwhelming majority of women are assaulted by people they know and should be able to trust. The idea that if you don't go home with someone on the first or a third date you are safe from assault is erroneous. It's not her good choices that kept her safe, it's been luck. There is no other crime that we treat in the same way. Do we tell a wealthy guy who has his Rolex and his arm broken that he shouldn't have put himself in that position and should have known better? Do we tell him that he was making a poor choice for wearing a Rolex outside of his home? Do we tell the person whose car is stolen that they are in part responsible because they were driving a nice car in front of people who want one very badly also? Do we tell them that they made a bad choice by driving their car in the city? How do you see common sense in saying that women are responsible for the actions of men? Men, in your view, are animals without the ability to control themselves? Ravening beasts? If a woman has a drink you believe that she is tacitly agreeing to sex? Men have excused their behavior and blamed women for it for far too long. That time has come to an end. If you can't respect another person's right to the safety and to decide what happens with their body, go live in the woods away from other people. Weinstein is a predator. He has treated women badly for decades. Are there cases where a woman uses sexuality to obtain something? Of course there are. Men do not have a monopoly on bad behavior, plenty of women behave poorly too. That is not the issue here. We aren't talking about the specifics of the case, we are talking about what Donna Rotunno said with regard to assault and that statement is very wrong. You should be able to go for dinner without having to consider whether agreeing to a meal is actually you forfeiting your right to say no to sex.

  471.  @anneegan4251  what would you say it was then? There were several instances of him condescending and minimizing what James does.

  475. There are things that are helpful here but there is a lot that is not accurate. Most of us in this country eat far too much carbohydrate. There's no need to eat bread unless you really want it and do not have any issues with blood sugar. Second, the plant-based thing is fine but pasture raised eggs, for example, are a perfect protein. They're healthy, environmentally sound and if you get them from a farm where the animals are genuinely free to run around, they're also ethical. The idea that saturated fat is the source of overweight and unhealthy is wrong. Ansel Keys has a lot to answer for. The studies he did were cherry picked, excluded women and excluded countries that did not fit the correlation he was looking for. There's so much more to say on the topic of saturated fat but it would go beyond the scope of this comment. Suffice to say, saturated fat is not the problem we've been taught it is, sugars, processed carbs and processed oils are. Eat lots of healthy fats, eat good healthy protein, pasture raised eggs, grass-fed beef in reasonable moderation, wild caught salmon, plant-based proteins are fine but they are not equal to animal protein in terms of protein availability for us. Stay away from processed foods. This can't be emphasized enough. Stay away from processed foods, don't eat things like Crisco or sunflower or safflower oils, avoid added sugars were possible and this also includes so-called healthy alternatives like honey. Eat lots of vegetables, leafy greens, fermented foods, extra virgin olive oil, all of that is very good advice. Unsweetened full fat Greek yogurt from pasture raised cows is an excellent food, be sure it's from grass fed cows, otherwise you're not getting the same benefit at all. Cows that are fed corn, live in concentrated animal feeding operations, are frequently sick and fed antibiotics and growth hormones. You do not want to eat yogurt that is made from the milk of these cows. It's unhealthy for you, it's not healthy for the cows, it's unethical and cruel. We can grow food ethically without abusing animals and harming ourselves and the environment. You can go more plant-based or you can go with animal products, both work as long as you are getting enough healthy fat and good protein while staying away from processed foods, sugars, excess carbohydrates and unhealthy fats such as vegetable and seed oils. Also, eat what you enjoy as long as what you're eating is healthy. If you enjoy eating cauliflower then eat cauliflower. If you don't, then don't force yourself to eat things that you don't enjoy. I don't like cauliflower, so I will not eat it but I will eat brussel sprouts roasted in the oven. We have preferences and it's important to respect those. There's also a place in our diet for things that we enjoy. Celebratory foods can be eaten as long as they are eaten as celebratory foods, in other words have a piece of cake at a celebration but don't have a piece of cake everyday or every week. The problem was never eating special treats, but when the treats became what we ate at every meal, we started to become fat and sick. Our industrial food complex advertises things to us to try to get us to buy unhealthy cheap foods that are highly profitable. These foods also kill us. Stay away from them, it's better to fast than to eat a Pop-Tart or bowl of Captain Crunch. Edit: I appreciate the gentle approach, It's clear that this doctor embraces a plant-based approach but he doesn't proselytize for it. The low carb, high fat and keto communities have a lot in common with the plant-based approach in that both want people to eat real food and avoid processed foods, added sugars, unhealthy oils and other foods that create inflammation in the body. As the doctor says it's tremendously important to support your gut. I would subscribe heed a lot of the suggestions made here even while the approach differs slightly from mine. There is wisdom to be found here and I appreciate it.

  476. Please ditch the reflective sunglasses. You may think you're setting a vibe and that it looks cool and edgy but it doesn't. Instead it detracts from your message for reasons I'll explain. Maybe your target audience thinks it's cool and are more likely to listen to a dude in reflective glasses sitting in a car? I'm not sure that's the case but even if it is there are some precepts of psychology and rhetoric; make eye contact with your audience, persuade them with your words and affect, connect with them by demonstrating sincerity. You can't do that if you're at a remove wearing reflective glasses. Otherwise, I agree with the entirety of your message and you are a good speaker. You are persuasive and articulate. I think removing the reflective sunglasses unless there is a compelling reason to keep them on, is the correct play. I apologize in advance if there is a reason for you to wear them, if you have sight issues that I am unaware of. I assume that your sight is normal based on the fact that you appear to be sitting in a car.

  477.  @edkent4984  Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. This was the second time I've said something about this issue. I probably should have done it in a nicer or kinder way, maybe that would have elicited a response. I don't think so though, there was no response to it the first time I pointed it out a few days ago. I found this channel randomly, I came across a video by one of the other people who contribute to the channel, Texas Paul. His videos are persuasive because of his sincerity. His word choice isn't always perfect, but it doesn't detract from the video because you feel how genuine he is. You know that what he is saying is deeply felt. This guy is an even better orator. There is so much potential here and the sunglasses just take away from it. I think that's why I was less than patient in my comment. He is such a good speaker in terms of vocabulary and flow. He is extremely articulate. What is missing though is that additional element of warmth and sincerity, the connection that you immediately feel with Texas Paul is not present to the same degree partially because of the sunglasses.

  478.  @mrscpc1918  The way I eat does not keep me in full ketosis, no. I'm keto adapted, my body will use fat for fuel easily but I'm generally not in full ketosis. I feel better with a slightly higher number of carbs. I tried to forego the blueberries and I didn't like it. I may try again though this month. I've been fighting something off and I haven't felt great. Perhaps if I duck into ketosis for longer it might help.

  480. I know people who are in their thirties and early 40s and beyond that who are less self-aware than you are. It isn't a competition, you know that. Your comment comes from that negative mindset. You're seeing things negatively. Can you get therapy or take the class that Dr K offers here? The coaching? It says it's $30 an hour, that's not terribly unaffordable? If you can't then you can watch the videos. You can make a small step each day. You don't want to be typing the same comment in 5 years or in 15 years. The time to change is now. The help that is offered, start to engage with it, and then get some real help if you need it. Don't give yourself excuses, don't say it's too late because it isn't remotely too late.
    2
  481.  @cierautumn  Yes and you will. Recognizing it is the first step, having self-awareness and wanting to change. You might sign up for the coaching that he offers, it's not very expensive. Don't put it off. Not even for a day. Tomorrow by definition never comes it's always tomorrow. I think you can do it. You have to believe in yourself. I have done very difficult things and I will have to continue to do them and I will. You will too.

  486. Somebody told me to watch this video based on my statement that one drink a week or one drink in a couple of weeks is not an issue. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't heard anything in this video to contradict what I thought prior to watching it. If you are someone who goes months without drinking and then has a drink and then doesn't drink for another 2 weeks then has a drink then doesn't drink anything for another 3 weeks, that kind of extremely rare drinking is not an issue based on my belief and the video. Maybe they misunderstood because I talked about very light drinking and for many Americans very light drinking can be five or six times a week.
    2
  487.  @mathias5578  Thank you for the thoughtful response. I can't drink two or three drinks at one time, I don't like the way it makes me feel. Men can generally drink more than women, I assume you are male, I am not. For me it is a definite one drink limit. I am trying to maintain keto or close to keto most of the time. I probably eat slightly more than 25g net carb most days but I do not eat any processed foods, white flour or white sugar (very, very occasionally I might have some). I try to incorporate a good amount of vegetables in addition to limited fruit in the form of blueberries, blackberries and kiwis for potassium. My idea of a drink is an ounce and a half (about a shot) of espresso infused vodka over a tall glass of crushed ice. Then I add an ounce to an ounce and a half of heavy cream. The resulting drink is very cold and creamy and it takes about an hour to drink. It's kind of a replacement for ice cream. An ounce and a half of this vodka is low in alcohol and has no added sugar. I might have it once a week? But then sometimes I'll go for months without having any. It's more a dessert. I don't like beer or wine, I don't like how they taste or smell. Amaretto is good but it has added sugar so I stay away from it. If I notice that I have had two drinks in a week I won't have any for the next week. It's interesting that you mentioned sleep. Initially I thought that part of your comment was wrong but then I noticed last night that I didn't sleep as well and I did have a drink last night. I'm not sure if it was the power of suggestion but it is something to take into consideration because I am engaged in physical therapy and its important for me to get good restorative sleep. Perhaps it's time to stop having any. Or decrease the frequency even further. The amount I drink is barely sufficient to even cause that slight relaxation but it is nice to have sometimes.

  490. I detest Trump. The comment about "70 year old hands" is odd though. How is his age relevant? Why cite it? Would you feel better or would it be different if he was 50 or 60 years old? Also. I've said this in the past but it bears repeating - too strident by half. Tone tone it down please, it is very difficult to listen to you, and I'm sure this is the reason your audience isn't as large as you would like it to be.

  491. Sheaiskl that is your idea of great? She made faces and spoke with a condescending and disdainful tone of voice. She employed disbelief and distaste for anything anyone else said. She claimed to be a reporter but was clearly there as an advocate. Even as an advocate, I would not address others in this fashion. If this works for you, it speaks to the approach that people seem to now prefer.
    1
  492. Sheaiskl I do not disagree with respect to the conflicts of interest. Konst stated that she was not there as an advocate, that she was there as a reporter. This was. clearly false. I subscribe to this channel, I pay a monthly fee and I would not have hired her. I expect professionalism, I don't want to see somebody making faces and speaking to others with contempt and disdain. It does not further the dialogue, it degrades it. The substantive issues are lost when one party behaves in this way, and they should not be. Moving to the underlying issue, Keith Ellison does have to address the things that he has said in the past, he has to find a way to connect with people who are in their forties and fifties and who have heard him say things that are grossly inappropriate and, yes, anti-Semitic. People grow throughout their lives, having said these things does not disqualify him in my eyes, but pretending as though he didn't say them doesn't work either. Of course Perez has conflicts of interest, this was never about that question. Every mainstream politician is going to have conflicts of interest, it is a problem inherent to our current system. If we get most of the money out of politics, this question will become less and less of an issue over time. As it stands now it is extraordinarily difficult for a politician to get elected without donor funds and this is a primary problem that we face.

Again, before people attack, I agree with much of what he says. Toning down his anger and apparent lack of patience with those who don't think exactly as he does could result in more viewers. He is so scathingly dismissive and that can't be the best way to build consensus and bridge the chasms.

  506. Unless you are a woman, unless you have adequately researched the topic, you should not say that you are for legalizing prostitution. It is not a victimless crime. The women engaged in prostitution suffer tremendously. Should they go to prison, of course not. Should they be shamed, of course not. But neither should it be legalized. If prostitution is legalized in this country given the unique situation of this country women will suffer. I can link you studies and information about this if you want it.

  511. Okay. I read this at first and thought it would be more sarcasm. I think that you were being genuine this time, and I appreciate it. I am not a fan of the facebook style of talking head videos. Here's why; they seem to be overdone and contain a certain smirking, knowing sensibility that is unpleasant even if you agree with the underlying premise. Ana (and everyone else I've seen in similar videos) is mugging for the camera for all she's worth - and that shifts the emphasis to surface over content. I understand that this appeals to a certain segment of the audience, and that a further segment doesn't find it irritating, but I think they can do more and better - and I prefer when they do. Of course it's not a life or death issue. I saw what kind of video it was, paused it, commented and didn't watch the rest of it. I think though, that if they want to court adults, and continue to get donations then not appealing solely to the crowd that enjoys dumbed down (I know, it's pejorative and judgmental but accurate?) content is a smart way to go. I responded to your tone in my first response, you attacked and I gave it back to you. I try to avoid being one of the ocean of ridiculous, and I think you do too. You could have easily attacked back again, I appreciate that you paused to consider whether I might be voicing a genuinely thought out perspective, and not just making a stupid comment. edited for clarification

  517. Kasparian still has a lot of growing up to do. As an older woman - older than her at any rate - it's a little cringe-inducing​ to listen to her talk about how much she loves make up and heels and how she wears them anyway, even though they're bad for her body. While I'm here, three other suggestions; don't use the expression "keeping it real" - if you can't avoid it entirely, use it less frequently. Sounding like a teen should be minimized or used for specific intent, repeating the same expressions should be avoided where possible. The other verbal tic is using "I feel like" as a preface to every statement you make where you have thought about something and reached a conclusion that has nothing to do with how you feel. You should be using "I think" or no preface at all. Using "I feel like" immediately conveys the sense that you are not confident in your opinion and that you are blunting yourself, attempting to make yourself smaller and less offensive by couching your ideas as feelings rather than thoughts. One last thing that stands out to me is over use of the term impact/impactful. Affects, not impacts. Never "impactful" or "impactfully" - these are not words. I'm aware that they are now considered words but they're ridiculous and annoying.

  522. Johnny Shanksalot Actually, that's inaccurate. Before citing articles of law you might want to bone up on how it works. You needn't have a victim in order to have a crime. Hence, attempted murder, attempted rape, attempted anything at all that is illegal. Or would you prefer to wait until he killed a few people by driving under the influence of marijuana and staring at his cell phone? Does he have to kill someone before you view this as a problem? If so, you're more of an idiot than your post would lead me to think.

  523. Why is it surprising that Israel has a rabbi for the IDF? Wait, where did it say rape? You're dealing with a translation from Hebrew to English -- Hebrew has feminine and masculine cases, that's where you get the word "Jewess" that you were mocking. We'd just say "Jew" or "Jewish woman." As for the rape issue, it didn't say rape, it said "satisfy lust" - i.e., "have sex" -- It does NOT say rape. This is disappointing to me, it's misleading and wrong. I'm a TYT subscriber, a subscriber to this channel specifically, and I would like to see this amended. This is NOT the same thing as the settlers. Not even close.

  524. Well said. She didn't address that issue, and also claimed to there as a reporter, while displaying behavior that, as an advocate, would have gone too far. She's apparently trying to "build her brand" -- and if this that brand, I'm not interested in it.

  527. Why not attack it on the merits rather than talk about how she's a cute girl angling for a job at Fox News and making snide disparaging comments about her audience, no matter how small, snicker snicker. I don't understand why TYT does this, I used to be behind them 100% now it's dropped to 50 or 60% because some of the things they do are just so annoying and irritating

  528. +Sophia Iglesias I see. Do you think that you, in your ignorance, are representative of the TYT audience? How much do you donate each month to Wolf PAC? Are you a paid subscriber? You understand that your vulgarity and trolling show you to be the moral equivalent of someone on the extreme right? I am a subscriber and I pay a monthly donation in addition to my subscription. This gives me the latitude to engage in criticism where I think appropriate. There is also a vast difference between criticism and calling a person you don't know a bitch, as you have done. This is a place for ideas and intelligent discourse. You would be more at home as a Trump supporter.
    1
  529. +Sophia Iglesias I'll add this to my prior comment. Let's assume for a moment that you genuinely thought that I was a person on the right masquerading as a supporter in order to, what did you say, cherry pick moments? It is still poorly done. if you want to engage in valid criticism of anything, do it intelligently. Approach the person's position, try to understand it and you'll be in a better place to attack or defend it. Don't engage in vulgarity, it doesn't help your position, it only makes you seem lacking in substance. And finally, we can support something passionately and care about it a great deal, and still find things that need to be improved. It is absolutely acceptable and at times even necessary to point things out that need change.
    1
  530. +Sophia Iglesias Yes. It gives me the right to point out to you that trolling and cursing at someone you don't know, because you disagree with the criticism that they've made, is inappropriate. Yes Sophia, it absolutely gives me the right to do that. This is the point at which you would apologize and think about not doing this sort of thing in the future. The fact that you choose to double-down instead is troubling.
    1
  531. +Sophia Iglesias I think that you should apologize for attacking and engaging in trolling. You haven't done that yet. Until such a time as you do, there is no further discussion. I made a valid criticism of something I saw here. Instead of approaching me and engaging in a discussion on the merits, you chose to attack and troll. You come across as a Trump supporter, someone who doubles down instead of apologizing when they have made a mistake. Your last message is full of obfuscation and misdirection. the simple facts are that you attacked somebody and engaged in gleeful trolling, you seem to really enjoy it, and are now trying to justify it. This isn't doubling down, it's tripling down. Go troll elsewhere.
    1
  532. +Sophia Iglesias At this point I don't know if you are genuinely confused or simply have very poor intentions. You called me a bitch based on a mild criticism of something I saw here. At the very best you are far too hot and ready to attack people, this is something you should address. It might be pride that is preventing you from apologizing, but if you are indeed a reasonable and rational person then you must be able to see that calling someone a bitch is inappropriate under any circumstances and will always put you in the wrong. In this case all the more so because I am a genuine supporter and I absolutely do have the right to criticize things that need it. And to be considered clear, you're not in the wrong for vigorously defending something that you feel needs it, you are in the wrong for calling me a bitch and doubling down on the trolling behavior. Even if you were in the absolute right on the merits of our disagreement you would put yourself in the wrong. There is one further thing to mention. There is no hope for any of us until we can address people who are genuinely on the other side of an issue with respect and understanding. Sanders knows this, and the best of us know this. Where our first response is hostility, anger and vulgarity, there will never be any progress and we will be condemning our selves to a cycle of violence and anger. I'm probably considerably older than you are, and this is something I've had to learn. I have to get back to work, best of luck to you.

  533. vinnythewebsurfer You understand that you haven't challenged anything that I said, correct? I didn't address the question as to whose views I agree with. You're assuming that I agree with Dershowitz. The issue I addressed was her approach, her lack of professionalism, the faces she made, the contempt with which she spoke while simultaneously claiming to be there as a reporter, not an advocate. Even as an advocate, it is inappropriate to address others in that fashion. If we all want to become like Trump then we should approach things as she does, as though they were only one point of view and anyone who disagrees with us is worthy of our contempt and disdain. Dershowitz did not speak to her in that fashion. He did not speak down to her, he not interrupt her and he did not employ a tone of contempt or disdain. If he had, I'd be the first in line to point it out.

  534. Ju Haralson Perception cannot be used as way to justify an opinion without factual basis. What did he do that you feel was disrespectful or bullying? He did not interrupt her, he did not condescend to her, he did not make faces at her and she did all three of those things to him. He was very careful to avoid behaving in a stereotypically disrespectful way to the woman in the room. I would have picked up on it right away for obvious reasons. You have a right to an opinion, but if you want to Stack your opinion up against my point of you, do it as I have with factual information. If you can tell me what he did that was disrespectful or bullying then I'll be happy to consider it your point of view. We cannot change the facts to better support our perspective.

  535. tubsent What's wrong with you? Ana is reacting primarily to the woman, it's rational and normal that she would. The woman talked about her son committing suicide and then having to deal with this and that was when Ana got visibly upset. Are you not aware that it is the smaller tragedies that affect us on an emotional level? People talk about the Holocaust where millions of lives were lost without crying but you talk about Anne Frank and can't hold it together because it affects us more on an emotional level. That's human nature, it is not virtue signalling. What is your perspective coming to this that you would find something, in this case an invalid something, to pick apart? Come on.

  538. Finin O'Callaghan Really? Why am I an idiot? When I see the word horrific in all caps I expect that somebody was horrifically harmed, cut, burned, killed. This man endured an attack that was not something he should have endured but if we use the word horrific in all caps to describe this what words do we use to describe things that are genuinely horrific? Rather then attack somebody, in this case a tyt subscriber and supporter, explain your perspective and be an adult. I'm trying to come up with an argument for your position, the proposition that the word horrific in all caps applies equally to this event and to something like, to give an example off the top of my head, Warmachine's attack on his girlfriend, I would describe that as horrific. It doesn't. I think you are confusing me with somebody who is in favor of what this man in Dort. I am not in favor of it at all, and I would prosecute the people who did it. There is a distance however from that to describing it as horrific.
    1
  539. No, it doesn't. I'm objecting to the use of HORRIFIC in all caps because the guy wasn't hurt badly. He was screamed at, and poked, and kicked - it was a terrible thing and he shouldn't have endured it. He should sue in civil court for monetary damages beyond any criminal liability. When I see HORRIFIC the expectation is different. What "Warmachine" did to his girlfriend was "HORRIFIC" - this even was bad, and is intolerable - but doesn't rise to the level of HORRIFIC.
    1
  540. He himself had participated in "blasting" others. He wasn't physically hurt, he didn't require medical attention. This is not "horrific" - horrific is rape, horrific is being cut up with a knife, horrific is a lot of things - this was unpleasant, and it was probably frightening and it was absolutely wrong -- but if we call every wrong "HORRIFIC" what sort of description would you use for something that is genuinely horrifying?

  541. Ignorance is always horrifying. Go educate yourself before calling others out. If you can't spell a word correctly, perhaps learn to read and write before you leave comments. It's hummus. What can you refute? They did kill that man who made the video. They did kill that woman who tried to create a field hospital to help her people. This is what Hamas does.

  542.  @mardyroux8136  Andrew wrote me a nasty comment. He referred to the Dunning-Kruger effect and then muted my response. I unsubscribed. I'm an attorney, I've taught at university and I was a judge. There are two areas I know a lot about. The law and nutrition/how our bodies gain and lose weight. The former comes from my education and the other is my passion. I lost 130 pounds and I've kept it off. I had to rebuild myself after surgeries that left me disabled. I've spent more years learning about how our metabolism works, how food affects us, what we have to do to be healthy than I have on my profession. I also took exception to another interview Andrew did, he was talking to someone who made a lot of excuses for an actor who called a woman unf*ckable on national TV. The guest recounting the story excused the guy on the grounds that he is laddish and that actors are good looking, young and horny. He said the actor is conservative and boys will be boys. I'm a woman and I thought it was awful. It doesn't matter if someone is on your side politically, we have to be willing to call something like that out whether the person's views align with ours or not. Apparently me saying this was unacceptable and an indication of privilege and brain rot. He used the term brain rot. I wonder if he would have used that term had he not been aware that I am a woman. It's an interesting thought exercise to consider. With respect to all of us being able to be lean, I understand what you're saying. Perhaps lean was overstating it. I do think that anyone can lose weight and fix their metabolism. It would be work, it would require intermittent fasting, eating a ketogenic or carnivore diet and it would be difficult. But I think it's doable. Thank you for the courteous response. It's a nice change.

  543. Yes, they count as carbohydrates. There are three macronutrients, protein, fat and carbohydrates. Grapes are predominantly carbohydrates. That doesn't mean they are bad carbohydrates, they're certainly better than processed white bread for example but of course they are carbohydrates. The downside to grapes is the amount of fructose you are ingesting. It really depends on your health. If you are metabolically healthy you can have a few handfuls of grapes throughout the day. A serving of these grapes contains 14g of carbohydrates, primarily fructose. A serving is defined as 80g or about 2.8 oz. If you have a kitchen scale you can see approximately how much that is. It's not a lot. Fructose can only be broken down by the liver. Before the advent of processed food people with liver issues were generally alcoholics because alcohol can also only be broken down by the liver. Alcohol and fructose. Alcoholic fatty liver disease and lately non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the general population due to processed foods and increasing amounts of fructose. It's impossible to know if you are burdening your liver too much without knowing the rest of your diet and your general health status. For you to say that you don't care about getting cancer and that you're going to eat your grapes regardless is a little silly. Whether someone can eat grapes every day depends on the individual, their specific health status and the rest of their diet. You can be thin on the outside and still suffer from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. If the rest of your diet contains a lot of healthy fats and protein, if this is the only place you are getting a lot of carbohydrates and fructose you should be fine. Intermittent fasting can also play a part. Do you eat every few hours or do you take a break and let your insulin levels drop naturally? Do you give your body a break for 16 to 18 hours a day? When we do that we let our bodies catch up. When we eat every few hours our bodies never get a break. For a healthy person who is eating a good diet, practicing some degree of intermittent fasting, eating enough healthy fats and protein, a couple of handfuls a day of grapes won't be an issue. If you're eating a pound or two of grapes every day and the rest of your diet isn't good, then it is probably something to reevaluate.

  544.  @seniorscientist590  if you are indeed a senior scientist you will find the things I recommended interesting. I am a senior attorney, like you I don't post my real name. Privacy is important, especially online. I followed the conventional medical advice to eat lots of small meals, lots of carbohydrates and I ended up very overweight and unhealthy. I found Dr Jason Fung's first book, read it and that started me down the path to learning as much as I could. I had to undergo some surgeries and was unable to walk for a time. Now I am much healthier than I was 20 years ago in my 20s. I bike every day, I work out, and most of the time I don't crave sweets. When I do, when I really want something, I'll have it but it will be a rare occurrence. If you're working out and eating grapes instead of processed food you're already ahead of the game.

  545. I'm curious, why would you post a comment like that? Do you do it to make people angry or to trigger them? To show that you are angry? The girl who was raped when she was five and six years old repeatedly, turned to drugs in her early teens, you want her to die? She's a loser? Not the men who raped and abused her? What about the person who grew up with abusive parents, they locked her in a room for days at a time, didn't let her go to the bathroom, made her pee on the floor, shoved her head in the garbage, beat her and starved her. She turned to drugs, she had no family no one to protect her. Is she a loser? Are you sure the losers aren't the people who do terrible things in the first place? There are drug addicts who are bad people who do bad things but an unfortunately large number of drug addicts are people who have sustained horrible trauma and tragedy. Is the soldier who served in Vietnam, did his duty to his country, came back and was not given any help, is he a loser? Many of those you've said should die are people who were hurt by others. Many of these people were failed by us as a society, people who should have been helped and weren't.

  547. It isn't an exercise issue. It is a diet issue. You can't out exercise a bad diet. Please, for your own benefit, educate yourself. Carbohydrates are the problem and have always been the problem. Processed food, sugar in all of its forms, grain and seed oils. The information is out there, go on a ketogenic or better yet a carnivore diet and heal. Exercise is important for other reasons but you cannot out exercise a bad diet.

  550.  @keepussafeUSA  okay, I'm Jewish and I lived in Israel for 12 years. I served in the Israeli military. I'm not voting Republican. I'm not voting for a criminal like Trump who doesn't give the slightest damn about Jewish people. He is a different type of anti-semite. He employs the ugliest tropes and stereotypes. Have you ever listened to him talk? Surely you must have? The way he talks about Jews we might as well be Shylock. (Shakespearean reference. I hope you're familiar) He talks about us as great businessmen and presumably women although he has only contempt for women. He says we're killers, that you don't want to borrow money from a Jew! These stereotypes he uses are weapons. They do us real harm. He isn't our friend. Don't allow yourself to be deluded. No, I'm not voting for Trump. I'm not voting for a criminal who wants only to line his own pockets. For someone who has the greatest contempt for his working class supporters. For a deeply venal and disgusting human being. We, the Jews, don't have real friends. The world turns on us on a dime. It's good to remember that.

  551.  @yunuscurrie3410  are you a Muslim? Islam is not a religion of peace. There are Muslims who don't want to harm anyone but the religion itself is not compatible with Western values. I lived in the Middle East. Have you? If you are a Muslim are you able to be honest about what your religion demands? Islam believes that it is the one true religion. Islam explicitly states that its adherents have a duty to convert others. That conversion can be peaceful but if it isn't peaceful it is done forcibly, by the sword. Islam demands that Muslims convert others. Under Islam if you aren't a Muslim you are a second class citizen. Your house of worship has to be lower than the mosque, non-Muslims have to pay special taxes, Islam is replete with examples of intolerance. Is your opinion based in the reality of your life or is it what you wish it would be? In the west we believe in tolerance and diversity to an extent. Catholics in the United States don't murder Protestants, Protestants don't kill Buddhists, while people may harbor prejudice against each other the laws of the country mandate tolerance. This is not true under Islam. The most dangerous countries in the world for people who are LGBTQ for example are all Islamic nations. Under their law the penalty is death. While women in most countries finally have equal rights or are getting there, in Islamic nations there are no equal rights. If a woman leaves her home she has to have the permission of a male guardian. In many Islamic nations women are not allowed to drive. If they don't wear the hijab and have their faithfully covered they're beaten often to death. Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of obedience, submission. You do what you are told. Thinking, independence, innovation these things are not values under islam indeed they are anathema to Islam. Please educate yourself, I don't have the expectation that a response in the comments to a YouTube video will persuade you but take the time to educate yourself on this. Again, I am not saying that every Muslim in the world feels this way. There are many who reject large parts of their religion but the core of Islam, the majority of those practicing the religion, do not value tolerance because the religion is intolerant. At its core Islam seeks a worldwide caliphate. We can't allow that. Of all the religions, Islam is the most dangerous. I wish peace for everyone but we have to protect ourselves from those who do not think the same way.

Otherwise you risk looking foolish as you stand up for people who would happily throw you off a roof. All of this assumes that you're not Muslim or a troll.

Personally I dislike Susan Collins very much but the idea that Brooks will sit there and mock her voice when she speaks that way because of a disability is disgusting. I have never liked him and now I loathe him. It doesn't matter what you think of Susan Collins as a politician. What matters is behaving with a modicum of decency and he does not. before anyone responds and says that she deserves it, no one deserves a disability no one deserves to be made fun of on that basis. There is plenty to say about her that is accurate and correct without descending into making fun of the way she sounds. We don't like it when they do this we shouldn't do it ever.

  560.  @anneluck2626  do you eat enough fat? Or do you eat more protein and less healthy fats? We should be eating a lot of healthy animal fats, at least some from grass-fed meat. My A1C dropped to 4.4, it was much higher, so much so that they were talking about prescribing metformin for me. I eat meat, some small amount of vegetables but not every day, a good amount of butter from grass-fed cows. Some days I am 99% carnivore other days at 92 to 93% carnivore but I don't eat fruits that have been modified to increase the fructose in them, bananas for example. I eat once or twice a day, I have coffee in the morning, late morning with heavy cream. Every now and then I'll have something that I know is not ideal but then I go right back to it the next day.

  561. It's not difficult to shrink your belly. Intermittent fasting, eating what we have evolved to eat. Meat ideally from grass-fed animals. Enough fat in our diet. Fat does not make us fat, it never did. Carbohydrates make us fat. Grain and seed oils are inflammatory. We should eat once or twice a day at most until we are full and then stop until the next day. Be careful of fruits and vegetables. The fruit we eat today bears no resemblance to what our ancestors ate. We eat it every day, they ate it only seasonally. We eat fruits that have been bred for extra sweetness, for more fructose, they ate fruit as it existed then without the extra fructose. We ship fruit across the globe and we eat it with pesticides and other chemicals. They ate a small amount of fruit, organic and seasonal only. The same is true with vegetables. Unfortunately we have to educate ourselves. It is necessary to point out that there are vested interests in us continuing to buy processed foods. It's capitalism, not paranoia. Companies want to continue to make money. It's as simple as that. You can get rid of belly fat permanently. It requires a commitment to educating ourselves and then adhering to what we have learned.

  562.  @gabymalembe  It really is contingent on eating the right food. We have to get our body's set point lower and we do that with fasting and avoiding carbohydrates. Dr Jason Fung has a lot of good information on how to do this effectively. You can find his articles on Medium, he has written several books that were instrumental in me losing almost 160 lb and keeping it off for 9 years now. He has videos here on YouTube, a series of six based on his first book, The Obesity Code. I can't recommend him highly enough. His books were instrumental in me changing my life and health. I hope you take the time to read them, in particular the first book and his articles. And then share them with anyone who needs them. He isn't selling any products, he's not in this to make money, he's helped millions.

Even in these comments you see people sneering and writing about how it is the Jews fault, that Jews are behind wokeism or alternatively they are the cause of everything conservative and bad. Jews have always been everyone's easy target of choice and that doesn't seem to be changing. You will never see Jews killing babies or gang raping women and severing their body parts with box cutters while chanting God is great. I feel sick and sad.

  564. ​ @worsethanjoerogan8061 The thing is, the underdog is Israel. There are almost 2 billion Muslims in the world. There are 15.2 million Jews in the world. There are 22 Arab nations. Jewish people have one small country that was primarily desert and swamp and they turned into farmland. The Israelis and Jews in general are the underdog. Gaza shares a border with Egypt and Egypt doesn't want them there. The Arab world wants to use the people of Gaza as a cudgel to beat Israel in the court of public opinion. Israel does so much to avoid civilian deaths. They text, call, drop flyers, do their upmost to avoid killing civilians. Oren has other videos that explain all of this and none of it is contested. Anti-semitism is at the root of a lot of this. It is a sickness that always seems ready to spring to life.

  568.  @kathleenking47 what I meant was that we eat processed foods that aren't intended to be dessert but they are de facto desserts because of the amount of sugar in them. When someone feeds their child cereal in the morning they don't intend to be giving them dessert for breakfast but they are. The overwhelming majority of cereals are in fact dessert because of the sugar. The same is true for most yogurt. Almost all the food in a supermarket has been adulterated with sugar. It's okay to have dessert very occasionally if we are metabolically healthy but most Americans are not. Avoid eating processed food at all that way you won't be inadvertently eating dessert when you think you're eating a meal.

  569. Miracle, if you happen to be monitoring this video and reading comments, please listen. I survived a background that is different from yours but similar in many respects. There is a lot that I had to handle on my own including medical issues resulting from things that were done. I was in boarding schools and ended up on my own when I was 15. I went to University in a different country then came back here and went to law school. I had very little help. I took out student loans for law school and worked several jobs at a time in order to keep myself going. I didn't have family at all. You are intelligent and driven. Let your family be in your life to the extent that seems wise to you. Love them, let them care about you but also be aware that people do things for reasons that can be confusing even to them. Your mother might try to deter you from pursuing the things that you want to pursue. Don't let anyone derail you. A video like this one only tells part of the story. Your mother seems to genuinely love you and wants you to succeed. I don't think there is a person watching this who would feel differently. It will be difficult but you can do it. There will be times when it will feel as though you can't, don't give up. Treat yourself well, you matter. Don't ever let the world make you believe differently. There are some genuinely decent people out there who will help you but it is not true that most people are good. Being good is the right choice but it is the more difficult choice. The truth is that most people will do the right thing if it doesn't cost them anything. They will do the right thing if it is convenient. This doesn't make them bad, but it can result in actions that are wrong. Try to pick people who will make the right choices even if it isn't convenient for them. Understand human nature, understand that there will be times where you will fail even after working hard but that doesn't define you. Your family and your upbringing don't define you either, you define yourself. Your intelligence, drive and compassion for others will define you. Make the right choices. Pick a career that will let you take care of yourself and do some good for others. Derive satisfaction from accomplishing things. Because there are things that are outside of our control, it is even more important to take the power that we have and use it to build the best life that we can.

  570.  @campbellpaul  Thank you for the courteous response, I really appreciate it. I'm going to copy a response I made to someone else, they were saying that they trust him and are going to purchase his product because he is healthy looking and credible. This is what I said (with some edits) Respectfully, you are in the wrong and have not thought this through. I know people aren't often persuaded when they are told bluntly that they are wrong but I think in this situation it is necessary. Your basis for trusting him is the fact that he looks healthy and has succeeded in a business endeavor?Please reconsider. If that's all it takes for you to ingest an unproven substance, the fact that the person standing to benefit financially tells you that it's okay and they look healthy, that does not bode well. Jeff is in his 30s, if he eats a moderately decent diet, exercises and gets good sleep of course he'll look healthy. He saw an opportunity in the marketplace. I'll concede that he is genuinely concerned about processed vegetable and seed oils but his answer was not to use his influence and business to encourage people to eat real food. His solution was to manufacture another frankenfood, another ultra processed product and offer it in the stead of existing processed products. Why are you okay with that? Of course, we live in a capitalistic society with hardly any checks and balances, people like him want to make a lot of money in order to gain tremendous influence and power. All of that mitigates against trust not for trust. The CEO of a corporation that manufactures a product is not a trustworthy source of information. He wants you to buy his product. He wants your money for his product. The fact that he is charming and healthy in appearance and affect should not influence your decision. It is proven that real food is healthy for us to eat. Not animals that are raised in CAFOs, not eggs from chickens living in crowded factory farms, but food from animals that are raised in natural conditions. Pasture raised eggs, dairy from grass-fed cows, and meat from grass-fed animals. On the topic of Omega-3 versus omega-6, meat from pasture raised animals is much higher in Omega-3. When they are grain-fed the meat has no omega-3 and instead has omega-6. Why would I purchase and ingest a laboratory created oil when I can eat real food? Avocados are a source of healthy fat, you don't have to use avocado oil you can eat an avocado. Wild caught salmon. Animal fats from animals that are raised in a healthy and sustainable manner. Seasonal fruits and vegetables for those who enjoy them. I'm not going to enter the discussion on carnivore because that's a separate topic and I don't have a lot to contribute other than carnivore works for some people and eating seasonal fruits and vegetables works well for others. I've spent more time than I probably should have responding, I hope you are able to take it to heart and reconsider your position. --- I really did spend too much time! But I feel a sense of responsibility. If we can persuade one person to avoid something dangerous, maybe we helped save a life, maybe we influenced someone in a way that benefits them.

  571.  @barbarafairbanks4578  anyone who peppers their comments with as many emojis as you have can't be taken seriously. Bud? Grow up please Barbara. You have sat here in this comment section telling people that they have to eat before 10:00 in the morning because otherwise bad things will happen to them when that is patently untrue. As I have said a couple of times, if that works for you, if eating a large meal of protein before 10:00 a.m. works for you then go right ahead and do it but please don't advise others to follow. Anyone can cite studies. The same thing is true with statistics, you have to be very careful to ensure that information that appears persuasive is applicable. If you aren't hungry in the morning, don't force yourself to eat. No one should feel that they have to force themselves to eat a large protein meal before 10:00 a.m. That was the main point you were making, you were telling people that if they didn't eat a large protein forward meal before 10:00 a.m. that they could sustain muscle loss. That just isn't true. It isn't supported by the evidence. You said a couple of times that I was telling people what to do. Not at all, I explicitly stated that people should do what works best for them. If you are hungry at 10:00 a.m., eat at 10:00 a.m. I am not being prescriptive, you are. Between the emojis and condescension there isn't much of substance in your argument. You were looking to be rude and misinterpret what I was saying and you did exactly that. I'm not sure what you gained from it.

  573. It's very difficult listening to Trump talk. he does this sing song while he tries to come up with the next word, with a painfully limited vocabulary. He's playing to his base, it astounds me that he has a base, that even voters without a lot of information I would think he is an appropriate person to run the country.

  574. I had forgotten to unsubscribe. I've done that now. If you didn't take the time to read the comment to the prior video, here it is again. It would be great if you would take a moment to answer it. -- Someone I care about told me about this channel. He shared a video that I thought was funny and on the strength of that I subscribed. I watched a few more and enjoyed your sense of humor and approach. I understood why he'd recommended the channel, you have a wry wit and critical eye that I appreciate. Then I watched a recent video that was promising because of the topic, superhero movies are often style over substance, glossing over plot holes and other issues with name recognition and momentum. I was looking forward to your take on it. You said something in that video that gave me pause. You were making a comparison and by way of illustration said, "it's like someone saying Madonna looks a bit different these days." Madonna had nothing to do with the movie you were reviewing, you pulled her into it in order to make a joke about her appearance. I'm trying to understand why you would do that. You showed a photo of Madonna from 30 years ago and a more current one. She looked good then and she looks good now. Using a snide tone, the entirety of your joke was mocking a woman who had the temerity to age. She allowed herself to get older instead of conveniently kicking the bucket. Then in the short video about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock you spent considerable time making fun of Amy Schumer. Like Madonna, Schumer had exactly zero to do with the topic of the video but you took the time to make a joke with her as the butt of it, complete with a tortured scream. You dragged her in by analogy just as you did with Madonna in the prior video. You don't think that she's very funny and her appearance in your view is worthy of mockery. You think that's funny and you believe your audience will laugh with you because you enjoy laughing at women and I guess you think your audience does too. I am going to unsubscribe now because you seem to be a shit and you don't get my subscription. One incidence of ugly (dumb) sexist humor can perhaps be overlooked. Two in a row, no. I had written part of this comment intending to post it to the prior video but I didn't, thinking I would wait and see. Then I watched another and it stood out. It's unfortunate because you're funny and you don't need to take ugly potshots at women to earn an audience. In this case, it cost you one.

  575. People probably won't like this comment, I really enjoy his comedy. I agree with 80% of what he says. I just wish he wouldn't fall into the unnecessary nastiness that he does from time to time. There probably are real trans people. I don't want to lump everyone in together and have that result in suffering. There is so much that is ridiculous on the left now. I freely acknowledge that. But taking the position that they're all full of it, that they're all badly intentioned, that doesn't seem right either.

  576. Thank you for the things you said about Israel. I lived in Israel for years when I was a child and teen. I hold the same positions that you do and I've experienced the same thing where any pushback is met with vilification. The veiled anti-Semitism is real on the far left and people who I agree with on so many things suddenly turn on me and accuse me of being a right winger if I tried to push back on any of the "Israel is evil and wants to hurt all of the Arabs" narrative. Their response is often to point out how the right-wing is anti-Semitic and that is often true but not the point. A similar thing happened when I tried to point out that ilhan Omar did say some things that were not okay. People on either extreme expect adherence without critical thought and punish anyone who strays from that. For what it's worth, I'm subscribing. You earn my support by talking about the things that need to be spoken about (and lose it by staying silent to avoid controversy). Any lost subscriber who thinks that you're against the squad or pro right wing or not a supporter of trans rights should be someone whose support you don't want because they're dishonest. For every lost subscriber there is someone out there who will subscribe because you're willing to be thoughtful and question the current orthodoxy where necessary.

  577. It is a struggle unfortunately. Especially since the pandemic, a lot of therapists left the profession because they were just overworked and underpaid and it was stressful, as it was for everyone. You keep on trying. Sometimes you'll find that perfect person in a place you wouldn't expect to. It took me awhile to find someone I really felt comfortable with who got me, who understood me. But it will happen and it is worth the effort to keep trying. Please keep trying. I hope you read this comment even though it is a month later. Don't give up. We're coming into the holidays now and for some of us that is a very difficult time of year. Don't give up. A stranger on the internet is telling you that it's worth making the effort. Be the best person you can be, help others where you can without being taken advantage of. Show up for people when you can. Sometimes that can be enough to get us through, knowing that we are helping others who need it.

There's another channel I know you would love, Oren is an Israeli travel and tour guide, he used to make videos on that topic but now he makes them primarily on politics. I support him, I give him $20 every month through kofi. I can't share a link but his channel is called traveling Israel but one word. I think you would really enjoy it if you aren't already familiar.

  580. I have lived in other countries where healthcare is not a for profit industry. We should be talking about joining the rest of the world and paying for healthcare with taxes. Our taxes pay for necessary infrastructure and services. Roads, bridges, police and firefightes, schools, the postal service. Basic healthcare is a societally necessary service. In the US we spend twice as much per capita on healthcare as the next nation and we come dead last in results among the 11 wealthiest nations and 17th in general. Why? Because most of our healthcare dollars don't go for healthcare, they go to insurance companies, third parties and huge profits. How is this still the way we allow things to be? How much suffering are we willing to endure in the name of unfettered capitalism and "freedom?". Other countries practice capitalism but do so with far more protections. When will we join the rest of the developed and sane world?

  586.  @marsen7350  Why would you respond to a year old video without context? Since I don't know what you're responding to I'll assume it is the advertising. There was too much advertiser content in this video. That is my perspective but he can do whatever he wants. It is my choice to watch or not and I made that choice. I unsubscribed and haven't watched any of his videos since. It isn't so much the advertising as the paragraphs in response to anyone saying anything slightly critical. It's important to be able to take criticism with a grain of salt and also with some grace. If you are deriving your income from YouTube, it is probably a good idea to be able to take the views of your subscribers into account when making decisions. And at the least, not to become defensive when suggestions are made.

  590.  @stephaniew4168  I understand what you're saying. But if you are insulin resistant as you appear to be then perhaps it would be useful for you to stop eating rice and potatoes for a while. It could be good for you to give your system a break from those foods. Intermittent fasting is also very helpful in getting our A1C down. As I noted before, mine was high and then I started intermittent fasting, got rid of the carbohydrates and it is 4.4 now. Try eating once or twice a day, no snacks, give your body a chance to reset. You might try a strict carnivore diet. Dr Anthony Chaffee is a good resource for that and there are others. It's not only what you eat, it is the frequency of eating, it can be stress, lack of sleep, all of these things are factors. If you address them all you'll probably get it under control.

  591.  @lilydauber3147  please don't offer inaccurate advice. Saturated fat has never been the problem, that has been debunked repeatedly. At the time that hypothesis was put forward by Ancel Keys in the 1940s and 1950s it was debunked. He was being paid by the sugar companies. His seven countries study was actually a 22 countries study. The other countries contradicted his hypothesis so he ignored them, he also ignored smoking and eating sugars and processed oils. The other countries disproved his hypothesis and instead proved that saturated fat was never the problem, that sugar and processed carbohydrates were the issue but that wasn't what he was being paid to promote. I assume this is something you're not aware of but it is dangerous to offer advice without being very sure that your advice is accurate. We need saturated fat in our diet, stay away from oxidized grain and seed oils. Any oil that is liquid at room temperature in a bottle in the supermarket is potentially a risk. Even olive oil unless you are very sure that it is genuinely cold pressed and hasn't been sitting there for months. Don't use olive oil with heat, the other processed oils should be stayed away from. Saturated fat is one of the healthiest things we can eat. It is stable, it doesn't oxidize and it is what we evolved to eat as humans. That flies in the face of what we've been taught but it is accurate. Please, for your own benefit, do your due diligence. Resist the impulse to assume that someone telling you something contrary to what you believe is wrong.

  593. This is correct in its conclusion, Susan Collins has voted terribly and I have no love for her. But the ways in which the video attack her smack of sexism and misogyny. Not surprising given that the Lincoln Project is run by Republicans. "She never speaks up, she's ineffectual, she's weak, she's a stooge" play into old damaging stereotypes of women as "the weaker sex" and not "fit" for harder jobs or responsibilities. This is the great USA home of progressive thinking where there still hasn't been a woman chief of state but they've managed it in places such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia and Turkey. Does the resistant nature of sexism here contribute to that? Yes, it does. Are women here somehow less intelligent and able than those in majority Muslim countries? Clearly not. Where there hasn't been a single black female governor to date and where women are still routinely confronted with sexism and stupidity - and when they complain? "You stupid c***, you can't take a joke. Don't be a snowflake" and similar ugliness. I'm glad the Lincoln Project is trying to get Republican voters to move away from Trump. But my gratitude for that is limited as it is these people and their policies that caused the country to be susceptible to Trump in the first place.

  595. Because the cat was extremely dehydrated. The fleas on him had died, that's how little fluid was left in the poor cat. At that point he would die. That's why he had to be given medications, fluids, just giving food at that point would not have been enough because of the severity of the situation.
    1
  596.  @BijinMCMXC  The majority of the pictures you see in this video are not from the day she found the cat. This is a nice video made about someone who adopted a cat that was dying and badly needed a home. She didn't go looking for a cat in bad condition, ready to take video in anticipation of posting something on YouTube the following year. If the vet said that the animal was near death I'm inclined to believe them. The cat was infested with ticks that had died. The ticks had died because there was nothing left to suck out of the poor animal. Do you have any idea of how dehydrated an animal must be to no longer support a tick? At that point you die of heart failure, stroke, your body shuts down. Would giving an animal in that condition food and water be helpful? Possibly, but that dehydrated and close to death often the body can't process it. To be in that condition there were other things wrong, long-term starvation, dehydration, blood loss due to the ticks. You can tell that some of the clips in the video were taken closer to the time she found him but they weren't taken when the cat was in the worst condition because at that point medical care was the priority. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation with a dehydrated, starving, tick infested cat, please take it to the vet immediately.
    1
  597.  @BijinMCMXC  A cat that is starving and dehydrated to the point that the ticks infesting it have died is by definition near death. Blood loss, starvation, dehydration, any of these can be the cause of death. There is no point to discussing whether the vet was right, whether the cat would have died in an hour or in 6 hours. Give a starving cat food and water but if a veterinarian says that the cat is near death as a result of long-term starvation and dehydration and needs medical care, give it medical care. A cat that has been starving and dehydrated for that long might not be able to eat or drink, in that situation only medical care can save its life. If you encounter a cat in this situation please take it to the vet.

  600.  @anniematthew2608  also what is the issue here? Why do you feel a need to defend the channel for not posting chapters and breaking it down to make it more accessible? Do you genuinely believe that it would not be helpful to offer chapters? Is it really your position that if someone wants information they have to get it in the most roundabout way possible? Your approach is not logical. It's useful to do things right. Posting chapters and breaking it down so that people can more easily access the information is a win-win. The channel gets more viewers and people are more easily able to access important information. Many of us work, have kids, have leisure activities, cook, clean, there isn't always time to sit for two to three hours in order to parse through information nor is there always time to listen to a radio or podcast for multiple hours. No one is asking for a several hour long video to be broken down into bullet points. There is a happy medium between that and a lengthy freeform interview where the information could be better organized. Again, it would benefit the channel also.

  601. Why would you call her a swamp monster? Is that a comment on her appearance and if so how does that make you better than any of the people on the right? If it's not a comment on her appearance and a reference to the swamp, you have to be aware that it can be taken in two ways. I thought that we didn't engage in that. Every time I come close to resubscribing I come across something like this and decide not to.

  604. Wait a second, I am very left-wing and I find this kind of ridiculous. You are justifying what the protesters did as a protest? They were blocking the entrance. you want to tell me that you wouldn't find it threatening to have a bunch of people surround your car? I certainly would be afraid in that situation. If they had been protesting by the side of the road there would not have been an issue. Let's be fair and reasonable when we report the news, on both sides. I'm not a fan of Lou Dobbs and I'm not saying by any means that the guy who ran them over was in the right, but the idea that the protesters after surrounding a vehicle and not letting it move weren't threatening is also wrong.

  605. @LebanonBologna40  everything is pill and procedure-based. Drug manufacturers should never have been allowed to advertise on TV, they are because it's a profit-based system. Think about someone like Dr Shawn Baker, he is a proponent of the carnivore diet (which is evidence-based, some organic seasonal fruits and vegetables are fine in moderation but we evolved - or developed, your choice - on a diet of protein and fat. That's what our brains need). He started to educate patients while working as a orthopedic surgeon. They brought him up on charges because he wasn't doing as many joint replacements, when he would help people adjust their diet they would feel better and they wouldn't need the surgery. His partners didn't like that. He is one of many who have had similar experiences. Processed food isn't food, if it has a paragraph of ingredients most of which are not found in your kitchen, you shouldn't be eating it. But processed food and fast food exist in partnership with the pharmaceutical industry. They sell us food that is unhealthy for us, we get sick, many get fat, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the pharmaceutical industry stands by to provide expensive drugs that won't cure the problem but merely ameliorate some of the symptoms.

  606. Great presentation but if I were to make a recommendation I might suggest less repetitions of "Lo and behold."

  610. @drew13600 I answered this question already at length. I said that a cake mix is a carefully calibrated science experiment made by a large corporation that is very much invested in getting your money and not at all invested in your health. A cake mix is designed to be perfect in appearance and as addictive as possible. It contains preservatives artificial colors, processed ingredients and often trans fats. You have no control over where are the ingredients came from. They also contain far too much sugar. These are the ingredients that I am concerned about.

  612. @drew13600 I've answered twice. Is your reading comprehension so poor? Artificial flavors. Artificial colors. Preservatives. Hydrogenated fats. Other additives and stabilizers. If you were really asking in order to be better informed I'd be happy to help you. There is a great deal of information available on this topic. Educate yourself for your own good. Troll less, you end up irritating those who have information you need.

  613. @drew13600 You were the one who opted into pretension and wanted to "unpack" things. I've made my case clearly and there is substantial evidence to back it up. Your goal is transparently to irritate. Mine is to educate so that people can make better choices. If you want to eat boxed cake mixes, please do. They contain hydrogenated fats that are damaging to your health. That should be enough. We don't have to engage in a pretend debate about the relative benefits or detriments of preservatives, artificial flavors and artificial colors many of which are already banned in other countries by governments less beholden to business and lobbies and more interested in the health of their citizens. You sought to limit the conversation to preservatives, I did not. You can make the choice to eat boxed cake mixes and other processed convenience foods. It's not a good choice but if you're determined to believe that it is, no one can stop you.

  614. @drew13600 I have supplied proof. You seem to get a lot of joy out of trolling. Reading comprehension doesn't appear to be your strong suit. Numerous governments have banned artificial colors, flavors and other additives routinely found in our processed boxed foods. Cake mixes contain these additives, artificial flavors and artificial colors. They also contain hydrogenated fats. There is no debate that these are very damaging to our health. Are you unable to google "hydrogenated fats risks and health?" If you really need me to supply a dozen sources I can do it. What would be next? Proof that it's dark at night?

  615.  Liam Lians  Are you okay?. You might want to go back and read what I wrote. In your haste to find someone to attack, a common thing here, you didn't actually pause for reading comprehension. Go back and read it. I'll help you out, it says don't eat it, don't buy it, don't donate it to the poor. Apologize.

  616. @drew13600 And none of this changes the facts which I have cited. Why are you so determined to be contrary? Hydrogenated fats are toxic. This is an established fact not a factoid. You can attack me as much as you want but that won't change the reality of the situation. Why do you want to defend things that are clearly unhealthy? I'm not spewing vitriol at you, you were condescending to me and I responded in kind. I try to maintain patience and kindness and tolerance but it's difficult. I do not want you to eat boxed cake mix until you choke, that actually makes me feel a lot of sadness. Please don't do that. What is actually in contention for you here? Do you believe hydrogenated fats are okay to eat? Are you comfortable with processed foods? We have an epidemic of diabetes and cancer in this country that dates to a dietary change that was in large part sponsored by the sugar lobby. If you genuinely want information I'll supply it for you. But that would require you to not condescend and to try to be open and fair. I'm trying to save your health, I'm not the enemy. And you're wrong about my motives. I do want to win because I want people to be healthy and I want them to educate themselves. The more you learn about this the more upsetting it is. Further, tone can be difficult to judge in a YouTube comment.

  617. Another establishment figure attempting to explain why we can't have healthcare and a living wage in this country. The truth is very different from what he is saying. We can't afford to not make these changes. Our country has fallen so far behind, deaths due to depression, drugs and alcohol are at an all-time high and the suicide rate is at its highest since world war II. We have tens of millions of families in this country who are food insecure. You can work a full-time job and still qualify for food stamps. People have to choose between life-saving medications and food or paying their electric bill. When money is needed for the military it is quickly found, but the idea that the masses of people should be able to live with dignity is somehow extreme. When other countries were extending and strengthening their social safety nets we did the opposite. For example, a corporation has a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to make as money as they can. You might have a corporate manager who wants to pay a living wage, who wants to pay their employees what they are worth but he or she cannot do that under the law as it presently exists. The only real consideration that has to be made is to the shareholders and frequently that means paying the minimum under the law. There is something very wrong with a system where a handful of people have more wealth than 50% of the population of the country. These are the people who own the businesses, who benefit from the labor of the people working full-time and yet are unable to buy food for their families. Bernie Sanders is not an extreme leftist. A social Democrat or Democratic socialist is not someone who is seeking to seize the means of production. He is a capitalist but one who believes that the system must have some checks and balances. It is difficult to see how anyone could reasonably disagree with this.

  618.  @p1b1harper  It is very depressing to respond to something with factual information and have someone parrot back a talking point. I admit that the frustration causes me to sometimes be less than patient. Corporations and the wages they pay have nothing to do with immigration. The fiduciary responsibility that is owed to shareholders under the law as it currently exists mandates that the company make as much money as it can, that is what a fiduciary responsibility is. There is no similar responsibility to employees, to the country as a whole, there is no responsibility to behave as a responsible corporate citizen. If the corporation wants to pay a higher wage they have to justify it to the board of shareholders. The shareholders have the law on their side. They can and do sue. Immigration made this country strong. You are being manipulated if the news you are watching or reading is telling you that it's all someone else's fault. This is a tactic used by those who do not want to be questioned. If you can be manipulated into blaming someone else for the problems you have, for the problems facing the country, then those who are really responsible continue to have free rein. This is an effective tactic, and one that comes with a terrible cost. And because human beings are stubborn, it is very difficult to guide someone through it. We assume that the person we disagree with is wrong, or bad, or trying to get something from us. Those who are actually responsible encourage this distrust because as long as people continue to be divided they won't work together for the real change that would benefit everyone. The ironic part of this is that these changes would even benefit those people long term.

  619.  @p1b1harper  You aren't refuting what I am trying to tell you. I'm an attorney, I know how the law works and I'm trying to share that knowledge with you. It isn't a talking point, it is a fact. Of course corporations want cheap labor but that has nothing to do with the fiduciary responsibility that exists to shareholders. I understand that you are here to argue and possibly to troll (edit: I said this because of your tone, if I'm wrong, I apologize) you aren't interested in finding out how you have been misled. You want to tell someone that they are wrong and you want to blame it on leftists and immigration. I'm sorry, it is a tired argument. Because you aren't interested in learning and because you assume that you already know what you need to know, anything I say will be met with resistance. I understand that it's human nature and not necessarily something you're doing to be more contrary than anyone else, but I still hope for better. It should also be noted that I am not blaming corporations as such. I am putting the blame where it should be, human greed. The problem is when you have wealth concentrated into fewer and fewer hands, with tremendous power, that power and wealth have a disproportionate voice. A corporation is not an bad thing in and of itself. The laws that govern it have to be fair and currently those laws benefit the few at the expense of the public in general. The corporation ends up paying almost no taxes, they are allowed, required under the law to pay their employees the minimum resulting in those employees receiving public aid that the corporation doesn't pay for. We pay for it several times over.m I have been courteous to you and your tone has lacked that same courtesy. I am not interested in having a conversation with someone if they cannot treat me with respect - don't twist what I'm saying and have the intellectual honesty to look at the things you believe with a critical eye.

  620. You get a lot of credit for staying calm and rational. EoT was in full attack mode and presumed everything you said to have come from a disingenuous place of malice. That you have taken any of the criticism to heart is a testament to your intellectual rigour. That said, and speaking as a very left leaning person, your apology was overly fulsome. The only real issue was the Joe Rogan clip - that was genuinely wrong and distasteful. But the idea that trans women generally speaking have an advantage in many sports - that should not be controversial. Does that mean we bar them? Of course not - but it means we have to create substantial fairness. That was your point and it was, and is, valid

  621. Jim. I am an attorney living in the United States. I would like to help. I have free time as the pandemic is winding down and I have not found a new job yet. I was an administrative law judge in New York State and lived in several different countries. I also speak a few languages. I am good at research and spend a decent amount of time online. I can talk to people easily. If you have a use for someone with my background and skill set, please respond here and I'll give you my contact information. I'm not looking for payment, I just want to help if I can. Protecting elders and vulnerable people from being scammed appeals to me for many reasons. Many of the people being preyed upon are struggling themselves and it makes me feel anger and sorrow that they are being targeted. I also have compassion for some of the scammers. The conditions and pressures many of them live under are staggering. That doesn't justify preying upon others but it is impossible to ignore the reality of their lives. Some of the scammers are more egregious in their approach and demeanor. With others it seems they are trying to persuade themselves that the money they're taking won't hurt their victim. I hope I can help in some way. Thank you for doing this work.

  623. I am a subscriber to your channel and I link these videos too many other people getting you more subscribers. however, this is one video that I do not share because I don't want to give Joe Rogan any more views. I don't understand his popularity other than to a specific of male viewers. He skews conservative, he skews racist, he goes in the direction of things I do not want to support. On a personal level I find him appalling and very toxic, the fact that he masks it is more disturbing.

  624. Respectfully, the interviewer's affect and attitude were not good. I wouldn't want to talk to him either. The organization he was talking to is ridiculous. But how does approaching them with that type of affect accomplish anything? I'm referring to the first half of the video, I found him difficult to continue to watch. There is a kind of edge of snark and condescension, if someone with that affect or style approached me to talk about something I care about I probably wouldn't want to talk to him. I am a subscriber and a supporter of the Free Press but I think it's important point this out.

  627.  Lady Day  Please don't presume to tell me or anyone else what to do. Biden is not my candidate. Will I vote for him? Yes, unenthusiastically and because our system does not allow for real option. Trump is clearly the far greater evil but that doesn't mean that Biden is a good choice. Why are we still having a discussion in this country about health care as a human right for everyone? Why is it still even a debate? Rampant stupidity and a lack of critical thinking are the hallmarks of our country right now. It is terrifying that 40% of the country support Trump. How did we get to a place where so many of the people here lack the basic critical thinking skills necessary to reject someone so transparently terrible? The GOP in general thrives on ignorance. The greater the population that is uneducated the easier it is to manipulate them into supporting someone like Trump. Poor white working class people support Trump against their own interests because he and the GOP give them scapegoats for their problems. They don't accept any responsibility but manipulate their followers into hating others. And those followers lack the critical thinking skills to see through it. The Democratic party also has its share of blame. For decades now mainstream Democrats have not addressed the problems of the working class. How is it that every other advanced nation has healthcare? Childcare? A robust social safety net within a capitalist framework? Instead here, when these questions are raised people shout them down and call them extreme left wing, socialist, communist and other things that they aren't. It isn't socialist or communist or extreme to expect your taxes to go towards a safety net. It isn't extreme to expect health care as a right of citizenship. It isn't extreme to expect the corporations doing business in your country to pay a living wage to those working for them. It isn't leftist or extreme to expect your country to offer education to all of its citizens sufficient to inoculate them against someone like Trump.

  632. With all the conversation about fiber you should probably address the question of people who eat carnivore. These are extraordinarily healthy people who eat no added fiber. The idea that we must have fiber is not accurate, it is more contingent on the type of diet. When an individual has a colon issue they are frequently told to avoid fiber entirely. Fiber taxes the colon. To be clear, I do eat some fiber. I eat avocado and some seasonal fruit and vegetables but I am moving closer to carnivore for the tremendous health benefits. If you aren't eating a lot of processed food and other junk your gut microbiome is healthy. I understand that your gut instinct (pun intended) will be to reject this. Anyone reading this comment would be well advised to research the many societies that have eaten exclusively or almost exclusively animal products and have been very healthy. It's also important to recognize where a lot of the information in our dietary guidelines comes from. The Seventh Day Adventists are responsible for much of our dietary guidelines in the United States. That is generally not disclosed. People believe that meat is bad for them when it is in fact the only food upon which you can live with nothing else. Meat is also not damaging to the environment not if it is raised properly. To the contrary, animals farmed enriched the soil. Monocropping damages the environment There is so much misinformation, I can't address all of it in one comment. Vegetarians and vegans must supplement their diets or they die. The incidence of autism amongst vegans is much higher than the general public because in part of a lack of carnitine, an essential nutrient that can be made in the body but not for at the rate necessary for ideal health in the absence of red meat. There are many essential nutrients and vitamins that vegans and vegetarians do not get enough of and must supplement. Omega-3 for example, our diets are too high in omega-6 and without animal products it is impossible to get enough omega-3. Vitamin B12 is another. How can the vegan or vegetarian diet be the ideal human diet if you must artificially supplement or die? Please understand, whomever is reading this, I thought this way too. I've spent years learning about this. I'm an attorney and I applied my research skills to this topic because it is so important. Please don't take my word for it, take the time and educate yourselves and be careful about the resources you get information from. Sponsored studies almost always favor the sponsoring entity. If you are reading something that is in whole or part paid for by an industry, treated with suspicion.

  635. That's not what was said. Snitching can be bad because of how it is used. Someone who has committed serious crimes can get out of punishment entirely if they're willing to snitch. Or someone who has committed a minor regulatory offense that otherwise would not be prosecuted at all can be forced into a situation that costs their life. Do you believe that the penalty for smoking pot with a friend should be death? It isn't illegal anymore, it hasn't been illegal in many states for a long time. Should the police be allowed to coerce someone into snitching because there were caught smoking pot? Do you think that is an appropriate punishment? Does the punishment fit the crime in your view? There is a lack of oversight. The police can effectively coerce vulnerable people based on minor crimes that would otherwise not be prosecuted into putting themselves at grave risk. The goal of the justice system is justice. There is no justice when someone loses their life as a result of a minor offense. Likewise, it is not justice when someone who has committed serious crimes, crimes that threaten our democracy, can avoid any punishment by snitching.

  640. Someone wrote a comment criticizing Dr Fung for his appearance. He felt that Dr Fung looked like he had gained a few pounds. I wrote a response but when I tried to post it, the comment had been deleted. I hope it was deleted by the person who wrote it after they considered and realized it was an unfair statement rather than someone reporting it. The comment was wrong and unfair but the way to address something like that is to respond to it. Here is my response to that comment. Why would you attack on a personal level like that? Dr Fung has repeatedly stated that there is a time to feast and a time to fast. He has spoken about how eating this way allows for flexibility. I remember in one of his videos he talked about going on a cruise with his family. He said he ate the cruise food, had a great time and gained a few pounds. When he came back he fasted more and lost it. Feast and famine. He has never advocated for strict keto or for eating the same way all the time. The point of what he says is to be able to live a normal life. If you are at your parents house and they make conventional food, you can eat the food. If you go out to dinner or to a celebration, you can have a piece of the birthday cake. If you're on vacation, you don't count calories, you enjoy the vacation, you eat with your family and you have fun. That is the time for feasting. When you come back, then you fast. Is it your position that he shouldn't make videos if he has put on 5 lb? Is he only allowed to be seen in public after losing them? Why do you feel that it's appropriate to hold him to a higher standard than anyone else? Dr Fung is a supremely decent person who has put his career at risk time and time again to provide information to the public. He doesn't charge for access to his videos. You can read his books in the library. Everything he offers, he offers for free. Let's reiterate that because it's an important point. Everything Dr Fung offers, he offers freely in the spirit of helping people. Most of the other doctors and those calling themselves doctors on YouTube (an assortment of various PhDs and chiropractors) hawk some product, subscription or supplement. Dr Fung does none of that. Dr Fung has saved the lives of tens of thousands of people and transformed hundreds of thousands, If not millions of lives. At some point in the not distant future everything he is teaching will become standard. Often it is one of his videos that causes someone to start down the path of taking better care of themselves. I've shared his videos with dozens of people. When you start to learn about this, you want to learn more and there is always more to learn.

  641. I'm not familiar with the keto cereal you mentioned but no one I know would ever think of buying a product like that. It goes contrary to the entire spirit of eating healthy real food and reducing carbs. Any time new information becomes available there are people who jump on it and try to make money. Unfortunately, that is human nature. It doesn't have anything to do with being keto. Dr Gundry has some useful information to offer but he is well known for pushing products on his website. Before you give up on the idea of eating this way, please take some time and watch a couple of videos from people who know what they're talking about and aren't trying to make money. For example, Dr Jason Fung. Dr Fung has a channel here, he has a lot of videos on the topic of eating lower carb and higher healthy fat. Dr Fung does not make money from this or any other products, he doesn't try to sell anything. His explanations and videos are also much better. The basics of eating this way are to avoid processed foods and reduce the amount of carbs you eat while increasing healthy fats and protein. For example, you might eat an omelette with a couple of eggs, saute some spinach, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms or whatever vegetables you like, have them in an omelette, add cheese and cook it in butter. On the side you could have half an avocado with lemon and salt. You could bake some low carb crackers, I make them with almond flour and seeds, they take the place of bread. When I sit down to eat brunch I have this omelette with vegetables and cheese, the avocado and a couple of crackers. I am not hungry after eating that for 5 or 6 hours. I guarantee you would be full after this meal too and everything in it is healthy, low carb, inexpensive and real food. Eggs, vegetables, cheese, butter, avocado. This is a real meal and it is keto. No box of cereal, nothing manufactured or produced. You don't have to have eggs If you don't like them, but they are a wonderful healthy food with lots of protein and healthy fat. Even better if you can get pasture raised eggs. There are so many other options. There are some great resources for low carb higher fat meals, I can share some if you're interested. Watch Dr Jason Fung's videos. You don't have to be in ketosis, reducing your carbs, getting rid of processed food, increasing healthy fats, not eating every couple of hours, some intermittent fasting, all of these things are beneficial. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to buy overpriced products to follow a keto style diet. Let me know if there's any other information I can help with.

  642.  @Violet316  I would not buy or eat something called keto friendly cereal. It's advertising. The fact that it says keto friendly is an indication that it isn't really keto and who cares? I can put any number of labels on products, that doesn't mean those products are good or useful for the intended purpose. It's like the American Heart Association's imprimatur, you see it on lots of foods but that doesn't mean those foods are good for you. The tomatoes that I put on my omelette are cherry tomatoes. I take a handful of them, slice them in half and lightly saute them in butter then add some spinach when they are lightly done. Buttery tomatoes are a great compliment to an omelette but obviously if you don't like them, don't eat them! I'm glad you eat a healthy diet, that's wonderful. I think it's always possible to tweak it and get better. I'm a woman also, younger than you but not tremendously so. What we eat, how often we eat, has a tremendous effect on aging. Whether we feel good, our immunity from transmissible diseases, not getting sick, not getting diseases that are based on inflammation, all of these are the result of what we eat. I took the time to respond to your comment because you connected a product with the ketogenic or low carb high fat diet when there is no connection and I wanted to be sure that you had good information. As far as not using cooking fats, that could be a mistake depending on which ones. If you have any of the inflammatory so-called vegetable or seed oils in your house, I would throw them away or use them for industrial purposes like seasoning your cast iron pan if you have one. It depends what you consider cooking fats. It's tremendously important for us especially as we age to get enough good fats in our diet. Fat in our diet does not cause us to get fat and does not cause heart disease. The six countries study and the seven countries study that came after it were cherry picked and deeply flawed. They are the studies upon which the hypothesis that eating fat causes heart disease was based. This is an important issue area to be aware of, otherwise we fall prey to bad information. If you're eating avocado, getting a good amount of olive oil, healthy animal fats from wild caught salmon, grass-fed beef, grass-fed butter and dairy, grass fed full fat yogurt (no added sugar) then you're on the right track but if you're avoiding those foods because you think that eating fat is bad or that eating saturated fat will cause you to get sick, then I strongly encourage you to continue learning from reputable sources such as Dr Jamnadas, Dr Jason Fung, Dr Robert Lustig and many others. It's possible to eat a healthy diet without animal products but it's much harder. The plant based diet people base a lot of what they think to be correct on the studies that have been proven to have been cherry picked and falsified. That doesn't mean they're wrong in everything they say. There's much more I could say but without the background it might be confusing. The takeaway is to not let yourself be influenced by a product in the store and to spend time learning as much as you can from reputable sources.

  643.  @Violet316  I agree but then we aren't obligated to buy it. Companies sell all manner of useless, even damaging products, and try to get as much money for them as they can. This cereal has nothing to do with eating keto which is simply avoiding carbs, avoiding processed food and eating real food, lower carb higher healthy fat. In fact most people who do keto don't buy packaged products and would not regard it as a keto item at all. The fact that they labeled it that way doesn't mean anything. Labeling is not well regulated, unfortunately the government doesn't actively pursue companies as long as they don't go over the line. Shame on them though, I'm sure there are people who are taken in by it. Going back to what you said in your prior comment, I was disabled for years. I walked with a cane or crutch and for a while I was in a scooter. I work very hard every day to stay healthy. It was a long journey from there to where I am now and I'm still not where I want to be. Are you sure there's nothing that can be done to help you? I hate the idea of you stuck unable to exercise because of a botched surgery. You are still so very young. My grandparents lived to their 90s. You could have 40 or 50 years of life and those years should be good ones. Have you talked to good surgeons about potentially fixing it? I apologize if I am asking personal questions.

  644.  @Violet316  It makes me so angry that you weren't taken seriously. Women, all of us, get this from the medical profession if we aren't extremely lucky to have good doctors. Even women doctors do it to women and it's worse for women of color. I'm white, middle class, I have a profession and I still experience that disbelief. In my case I'll mention that I'm an attorney and just sit there and look at them until they take me more seriously. It doesn't happen often because I have found a good doctor but it's so frustrating when it does. In my case they prescribed pain medication for years and didn't take it seriously. I had to have several surgeries and I worked very hard and I still sometimes experience it with a new providers. It's so important for us to advocate for each other. I'm glad you had a good time planting your vegetables, it's wonderful to grow your own food. It sounds like your husband is lovely and supportive. Medicine evolves, I understand that you are okay with the place you're at, but still keep abreast of developments because it could be that there's something they could do that they couldn't do several years ago.

  645. You can help yourself. Dr K channel has a lot here that speaks to that kind of issue. This video does. His other videos do. Make a deal with yourself, you'll watch one of his videos and then you will implement the advice he gives. You can watch the video and make notes, the notes should be honest because they are only for yourself. Then put that advice into practice. Don't say God help you, help yourself. There are a lot of techniques here for breaking that cycle. Don't feel lost, don't feel helpless, watch the video, make some notes and then put that into practice thank you. Make friends who will hold you accountable. And you can hold yourself accountable too. People have broken that cycle, you can too. Decide that you will and then do it.

  648. Why does his wife still wear a headscarf covering up her hair though? Does he require it or does she wear it because it's her custom and she hasn't worked her way out of it yet? EDIT: I guess I need to edit this comment to forestall anymore thoughtless commentary. It isn't ethnocentrism I'm advocating for here - it's the FREEDOM of the woman to not believe that she has to cover her head in order to not be attractive to men. The idea that it is the woman's responsibility to avoid being attractive lest the man not be able to control himself. This idea that is the woman who is the temptress and the man who is powerless is responsible for violence against women. What kind of fake progressives are you, that you wish to encourage her to continue believing that she must COVER HER HEAD, wear long clothing, be humble and modest - are you that way? Do you want to teach your daughters to be careful and cautious and quiet and modest? To be secondary to men? I didn't think so. We don't have to honor every artifact of every culture. It is really okay to say "Hey, that headscarf comes from this belief, and it would be better for you to not have that belief because you are an equal person and deserve to know that." The idea that I'm at fault for suggesting this is ridiculous. Check yourselves, people.

We need to ask ourselves why she wears it, what she was taught to believe about herself. There are artifacts of other cultures whose time is done. We can respectfully point out that the headscarf and full covering of the female body are part of a damaging belief system without being "culturally insensitive." I'm on her side. I want her to be equal and know that she is. I want the same for her daughters. And sons for that matter.

It supports disease. For many people in the US processed food comprises 70 to 80% of what they eat. Processed food is full of sugar, 64 different types at last count. It has pro-inflammatory oils and lacks real nutrition. Processed food is intended to bypass the body's satiety mechanisms in order to sell more. It causes an overwhelming insulin response which when repeated daily results in metabolic disease and eventually diabetes. This is the barest summary because I am not sure I understand your question. I don't eat processed food because I value my health. Does the mind matter? Of course it does. But can you fix the mind and eat a fast food or processed food diet and be healthy? No, you can't. Suggesting otherwise is dangerously irresponsible and delusional. I'm sorry to be that blunt but if you are not aware of the dangers of processed food you should educate yourself. I would start with Dr Robert Lustig and Dr Jason Fung both of whom have several good books and numerous videos.

  659.  @marilynnorourke56  I can do two things at once. I can listen to the message and appreciate it and at the same time notice that something can be improved. That doesn't make me the enemy. Nor does it mean that I don't appreciate the message. The reality is that how a message is perceived is affected by the messenger. It's not tremendously difficult to remove reflective sunglasses in an effort to connect more with your audience. Again though, if there is a reason for the reflective sunglasses then of course what I said would no longer be applicable.

This seems more a problem for you than it is for me. Is it the word choice? The idea that I suggested something that you disagree with? Sorry, Carson but your opinion is disregarded because it isn't grounded in anything other than your feelings and it wouldn't be hard for me to hazard a few guesses as to why you feel that way. Coach responded with courtesy and kindness. My tone to him will warm significantly while it will remain chilly in your direction.

  662.  @CoachD_Speaks  Thank you for the generous response. My suggestion wasn't meant to diminish your expertise. You make videos, I don't. My perspective is that of someone approximately 15 years older from what you would reasonably construe to be a different demographic. I want your message to get out. I think it's important. I like the sunglasses personally but I also know that they can detract for portions of your audience. Or at least, for portions of an audience that you might not yet have. Being able to see someone's eyes when they speak, the ability to see more of a person's face, is important in forging a connection with your audience. When people can see you as you're talking and see truth and conviction on your face, it helps persuade. It's important for an audience to believe in the person who is speaking, to believe that they are truthful, genuine and that their convictions are real. That doesn't mean that you should never wear reflective sunglasses. If they test well with your audience, then of course continue wearing them. I would be curious to see the breakdown in how your videos do on different platforms, with or without the shades. I'm going to assume that they will be less of an issue on TikTok given the average age there. It would be really interesting to be proven wrong! If you have a moment to update this and are able to compare, let me know.

  663. I don't understand why we are giving the scammer the benefit of the doubt. Yes, he's under the age of 25 but he is an adult and old enough to understand that knowingly scamming elders out of their grocery money is evil. Not just wrong, not just bad, but an act of evil. He is trying to take people for everything they have. This indicates a lack of compassion and concern for the lives of others. This is the kind of person who should not be in society. This is not an example of someone who is under the age of 20 and starving. He has other choices and is actively making the decision to harm others. I can't overstate the contempt and loathing that scammers like this one arouse in me. Generally I try to extend the benefit of the doubt and view people as capable of change. But listening to this man scam elders out of their savings, talking to them as though they're stupid and condescending while stealing from them is horrific. I would not extend a second chance to someone capable of this kind of behavior. Not without significant evidence of real change.

  665. It is so interesting that I found this video today. I'm an attorney, I haven't practiced for a few years for personal reasons but we did buy a new refrigerator that behaved exactly as described in this video. I wish I hadn't replaced the old refrigerator. It wasn't attractive and it was old so I thought I would get a better one with an ice maker. With all my heart I wish I hadn't done that. The refrigerator we had before came with the house and the one we just bought started causing issues immediately. It would not cool sufficiently, you would take something out of the fridge and it would be 44 or 45° instead of 37 or 38. Things went that quickly, it was not good. My practice is in the area of SSI/SSD and I was an administrative log judge, I don't have expertise in the area of consumer goods but I know how to write a threatening letter. I wrote several of those. They ended up replacing the fridge after several months of tech visits and so far the new one is okay. Not great but okay. I love that you are not the stereotype of an attorney, neither am I. New subscriber and supporter. I would love to do the work you're doing.

  667.  @GodEnderX  You are going through a lot of hoops there to make a point that I don't think is relevant to what I said. You said you don't like my analogy but I didn't make one. Perhaps it was a typo or you meant something else? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD is not "aids" of the lungs. If someone you are answering doesn't know something basic like this they can look it up. I'm very sorry about your father, COPD is difficult for the person suffering and for their family. Your bender analogy doesn't apply to the situation. Should people have compassion for you? Of course they should. But we have to avoid confusing compassion and excusing bad behavior. If you went on a drug bender that would harm you. Peterson has harmed other people, not just himself. What he has done is far worse than going on a bender. If you went on a drug bender because you were upset about your father being sick, I would have compassion for your situation but it would not excuse actions and bad behavior. For your analogy to apply you would have to do something bad to others while on that bender, let's say you robbed a lot of people to get money for the drugs. I would still have compassion for you and I would want to understand what caused you to do the things that you did. That would have bearing on the punishment. When someone commits a crime their state of mind is relevant. But again, it isn't the point I was making. I did not say that we should excuse Jordan Peterson for the damaging things he has done. I did not say we should forgive him for the harm he has caused. I think you misunderstood something but I understand why. When I say that the jokes are ugly and should not be made I am not forgiving Peterson nor am I excusing any of the things he has done simply because he is sick. We can have compassion for his situation without in any way viewing him as likable or forgiving the harm he has caused to others. Getting sick doesn't erase that or negate it. The jokes are wrong because they are ugly. When we mock people this way, the way Michael Brooks frequently does, it taps into the ugliness that lives in us. He does it to encourage the audience to laugh at someone else's expense. This is actually a complicated thing to talk about, it involves psychology and the nature of who we are as people. There is an effect that happens when you laugh at someone else's misfortune again and again and that effect is detrimental to us. When you are led to view others as not worthy of any human compassion, as "other" over time you become more and more callous. The endpoint of that is obvious. That kind of mocking laughter is contagious, it invites the audience to push their better nature away and have a communal sneer at the person who is in that moment the enemy. I abhor Jordan Peterson. He is intellectually dishonest, a grifter and has caused a lot of harm. The fact that he is sick doesn't change any of that. I put time and effort into convincing people not to buy his books or watch his videos. I have conversations with people about him and I try to explain how he uses psychology and twists it to support his ideology. I lost a good friend to Jordan Peterson's way of thinking. Trust me, I am not excusing or forgiving anything. Having compassion for someone as a human being, saying that ugly "humor" harms all of us is not forgiving or excusing. We harm ourselves when we give in to the urge to degrade others.

  670. Please stay away from these drugs. You don't want to be locked into taking a drug for the rest of your life to solve a problem that is dietary. Find Dr Robert Lustig and people like him who give good advice. Ozempic isn't an easy shortcut, it is a hugely profitable drug that will change your metabolism in ways that can't yet be anticipated. There is no easy shortcut to fix our health issues. We have to learn to eat real food, we have to get away from the hugely profitable processed food that is sold to us. We have to be willing to do the work. Taking a drug that will damage your metabolism and force you to take it in perpetuity is not doing the work. I've lost about 130 lb. My A1C is 4.4. I usually eat two meals a day sometimes I only eat one. Today I just broke my daily fast, I had heavy cream in my coffee and I made an omelette with grass-fed cheese, grass-fed butter, a few small cherry tomatoes, a handful of spinach and with it I ate half a small avocado. Total about 950 calories for the meal. I'll eat later again if I'm hungry and if I'm not I won't. All the food I buy is real food. I don't buy things that come in boxes or packages, I don't buy things with preservatives or added sugars. It doesn't take more than 5 minutes to make a delicious healthy omelette. Grass-fed butter, pasture raised eggs, good quality organic vegetables are more expensive but if you aren't drinking soda and if you aren't spending money on junk food, if you are eating one or two meals a day at least some of these things are probably affordable. I recognize that it is a privilege to be able to eat healthy food, we have to make that privilege readily available for everyone. There are extremely powerful corporate interests that want us to continue to buy their products. It is our responsibility to educate ourselves and to learn how to take care of our health

  673.  @DadaIorian  The thing is I don't think that's right. There are lots of conservative women. Women leaning liberal on the coasts but everywhere else, no. I wrote a long response and I deleted it, I didn't think it would help. I am Jewish, I'm a woman, I lived in Israel for 12 years and I served in the Israeli military. Some of my beliefs are center left. I think we should have universal health care for example, Israel has it, Canada has it, a couple of other countries I've lived in have it and it is better than what we have in the US. We spend twice as much per capita on medical care than the next country behind us and our results are pretty abysmal. The reason? Because most of that money goes to insurance companies and to profits. It doesn't go to actual health care. There are plenty of idiots on the right and a plethora of them on the left. Everyone I thought stood with me in terms of beliefs revealed themselves to be anti-Semitic garbage after October the 7th. That caused a reckoning for me. My political beliefs quickly updated from left to center to perhaps even center right on some issues. Stupid guys will be stupid guys whether they are on the left or the right. It isn't all minorities, it isn't all women, it isn't all anything. It is a function of the ability to think critically whatever your sex is, whatever your background may be. They are revealing themselves to be idiots by thinking that all women vote or think in a specific way. Anyway, thank you for the courteous response, it was nice to read.

  674.  @Julesy980  women of your type? What does that mean? What is your type? Also why would I vote for Trump? Listening to him talk literally causes your IQ to go down. Trump doesn't care about anyone other than himself. He is interested in lining his own pockets and will sell anyone out for money. This is not a politics thing, it is a person thing, he is not a good person. Also where are you getting your statistics? Simply because you say something and write the word period you think that means it is accurate information? Where are you pulling these percentages from other than the obvious location? I usually don't do this, I generally try to meet discourtesy with a modicum of courtesy but your comment is so lacking in substance that I can't help myself. By all means show me the exhaustive studies that have been done that have determined that 55% of any group votes in any specific way over a sustained period of time. I'm not voting for Trump but neither am I a progressive whatever that means. Do you think universal health care is necessary? Israel has it. Canada has it, other countries have it. We spend twice as much as the next developed country behind us and our overall results are 13th among developed nations in terms of outcome. Why do you think that is? Is it the progressives' fault? No. We have poor results in terms of health care because most of the money goes to insurance companies and to profit margins it doesn't go to actual health care. Is pointing this out too progressive? It's useful to view truths as truth without attaching a label to it. Under our corporate law as it currently exists a corporation has one fiduciary responsibility. Just one. That fiduciary responsibility is solely to its shareholders. A corporation does not have a fiduciary responsibility to its employees, to the greater society at large, nothing. Just to its shareholders. In practice that means that if a CEO wants to increase salaries to something reasonable they can't if the average hourly wage is lower in that area. They can be removed for cause. The point I am making is that things are not as simple as you believe them to be. That's the problem with going down a right-wing rabbit hole, you end up with a very one-dimensional view of politics and people. Leftists go down the same rabbit hole on their side. The challenge is to be a thinking person, to use your ability to critically think and go beyond whatever simple catchphrases whomever you watch shouts at you. If you want a real conversation feel free to respond. If you're going to reply as you already have, please don't bother.

  675. And it has a plethora of side effects that are all harming you. I'm glad you got rid of type 2 diabetes but the way to do that is through changing what you eat. Type 2 diabetes is almost exclusively a result of the food we eat. Get rid of the carbohydrates, get rid of the sugar in all of its forms, get rid of the grain and seed oils. Intermittent fasting, do what we are biologically intended to do, what we involved to do. Eat until you're full and then stop. Don't snack, don't eat things that come in boxes with paragraphs of ingredients. Let your body be in its natural ketogenic state at least some of the time. A ketogenic or carnivore diet is healing and what we evolved to eat. Please, for your own health and benefit, educate yourself

  678. If you are doing intermittent fasting or time restricted eating, you don't eat half a croissant. You generally don't eat croissants at all. A croissant is made of white flour and white sugar. White flour and white sugar are highly inflammatory. Our bodies have not evolved to eat the amount of refined highly processed carbohydrates that is in our diet. If you are going to engage in intermittent fasting and time restricted eating, you do not want to be eating croissants at all. It is important to bear in mind that there is a difference between high fat and high carbohydrate diets. If you are doing intermittent fasting for health and weight loss you do not want to be eating a high carbohydrate diet. I know there will be some people who benefit from it but most of us do better on a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet. High fat does not mean unlimited fat. For me that means a six to eight hour eating window with a main meal of grass-fed beef for example, spinach or other greens and cherry tomatoes sauteed in butter, half an avocado with lemon juice and salt, perhaps oven roasted green beans with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil, maybe a kiwi or a handful of berries at the end of the meal. I am getting lots of vegetables but staying below that 25 to 30g net carb a day. I will have an ounce of heavy cream in my coffee in the morning and if I'm very hungry before the main meal I might have an ounce of macadamia nuts or perhaps a piece of beef jerky without sugar. This is a weight loss regimen. It is not intended for maintenance. It comes in at about 1,500 to 1600 calories a day. I have lost half my body weight, I have another 20 to 25 lb to go, my goal is 160 lb and I am almost there. I get moderate exercise, I bike, work out and try to get good restorative sleep. If I really want something sweet and I know I'll be in danger of breaking further down the line, I'll have a little bit of it and then stop. If I want a drink once a week or once in two to three weeks, I will have a single drink. The goal is eventually no alcohol but the amount that I drink is so minimal that there is no deleterious effect. Real food. Not packaged foods. Grass-fed beef. Wild caught salmon. Pasture raised eggs. Dairy products from grass-fed cows. Organic vegetables and fruit where possible. These foods are more expensive but if you aren't eating junk and you are eating one main meal a day you can afford to spend a little more on quality food. It is very important. Our food provides the building blocks for our cells. Eat the best quality food you can afford. If you really want a croissant every now and then, enjoy it and then don't have another for the next month. Croissants and other processed carbohydrates should not be a part of your daily diet. They can be a celebratory food, something you have very occasionally and enjoy when you do have it but not something you eat every day or even every week. White flour, white sugar and pro inflammatory omega-6 highly processed vegetable seed oils should be avoided. Olive oil, butter, ghee and animal fats are healthier. If you are going to have vegetable oils make sure that they are cold pressed not extracted with hexane and then deodorized.

Joe Rogan has alt-right figure after alt-right figure on and treats them as though their ideas are just another side of the coin. By doing that the overton window is pushed to the far right. Cenk and the rest of tyt are known for being left wing and the overwhelming majority of the people they have on are progressives.

I'm still waiting for a response from you on the earlier video where you said that you really don't know what to think with regard to a guy saying that a woman is unf*ckable. That bothered me a lot. The fact that you identify so strongly with one side that you aren't willing to call something out when it is objectively inappropriate and wrong. That really bothered me, Andrew. You should have said that it was wrong. For anyone to degrade another person like that in public is unacceptable. "Boys will be boys! They're laddish. They're young horny dudes!" That was what he said and you didn't push back. It's several days later and that still bothers me. With respect to this video, your guest doesn't know a lot about the topic. Surgery is not appropriate. A keto or carnivore diet with intermittent fasting is the way you handle excess weight. Get guests who know what they're talking about.

I know a lot about the law and nutrition. Those are two topics I can expound upon at length. I am an attorney, I was a judge. I am about 15 years older than you and well aware of the areas I am competent in. Guard against accusing someone of Dunning Kruger when you yourself are embodying it. I wanted to like this channel but that ship has sailed. You did not push back on your guest saying that he's a horny dude, boys will be boys, therefore it's okay that he called a woman unfuckable. That was grotesque and you should have pushed back. You didn't. This guest knows very little about the bodily processes involved in obesity. I have lost 130 lb and kept it off. This is an area I am extremely well versed in. My knowledge doesn't come from YouTube videos or from interviewing self-important guests. My knowledge comes from in-depth study. You seem to be self-important and self-aggrandizing. In your shoes I would guard against that. The name of the channel indicates your frame of mind. You're a heretic! Look how cool you think you are! You're not, you're a guy with a chip on your shoulder who thinks he knows more than he does. We share an element of our background and because of that I was willing to see, willing to be patient.

Do not buy cake mixes. If you're going to eat cake, make it yourself. Something like cake should be an occasional indulgence, it's not healthy, it will destroy your overall health and if you eat it from a box mix with any frequency it will do that more quickly. I've seen a video where Adam advocates for using Teflon pans, I'm trying to understand the point of this channel, is it to reassure people that the worst things they can possibly do aren't that bad? The videos are proudly tagged with Macon Georgia, should we take a look at the overall health and well-being of our southern States?

  697. The problem though is that Israelis or Jews hypnotizing the world is an ugly and grievous anti-semitic trope. If you are knowledgeable about your Holocaust history, then you would know this. I'm not weighing in on whether ilhan Omar was aware of it, if she wasn't then it was an error on her part. This isn't to say that she should get death threats or that Meghan McCain should keep hammering the issue. Ilhan Omar made an apology and we should accept it in the meantime and watch carefully to see what happens. But we shouldn't go too far in the other direction where you are painting her as flawless and innocent. She has made comments that are questionable at best. I don't think it is reasonable after looking at her Benjamin's comment and the hypnotizing comment to say that she isn't aware of what she is tapping into. One comment, possibly a bad coincidence, two or more, no. One last point, why is Israel always the focal point? I am not a supporter of the right-wing government, not even close, but if you're going to be rational you have to look at where the focus is and why it is always there to question whether there are any underlying motives that aren't clean.

  698. This is a long time after the fact but how is your diet? What do you eat? The diet we've been taught to eat in the United States for example can contribute to these kinds of issues. Please consider reading Dr Georgia Ede's book, Change your Diet, Change your Mind. The processed carbohydrates, lack of good protein and fat cause issues. Please take a look at this book and consider a different diet if you have not already in the intervening 2 years encountered it.

  699. @cjlister8508  unfortunately the vegan diet is associated with a lot of these issues even though it comes from a good place. I was almost vegetarian at one point. A vegan diet does not provide the nutrients we need. Is it better than eating fast food and processed food, yes, but it is far from ideal. We evolved on a diet of primarily meat and fat. Fruit and vegetables were supplements to our diet. When we came across a bush with ripe berries, we ate berries. If we happened to find a beehive, we had honey, it was a rare treat. We ate fruit and vegetables seasonally, when they were ripe, when we found them. We didn't eat them everyday or all year round. Today with the advent of mass agriculture we have access to fruit and vegetables all year round and that might sound good. It isn't though for several reasons. First, we no longer grow our fruit and vegetables in fields that are fertilized by animals. Instead we use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, including glyphosate. Our exposure to these chemicals is much higher than our bodies can tolerate. Then too is the fact that fruits and vegetables contain anti-nutrients, I won't go into a lengthy discussion of those, if you are interested I'll point you in the right direction. Plants don't have teeth and claws, they can't fight animals or humans off. Instead they have chemical defenses. Many of the plants we eat routinely have to be prepared very carefully or they are poisonous. Even those we eat routinely have compounds that are harmful. We've been told that fruit and vegetables are the best things for us to eat, the seventh-day Adventist Church believes that meat causes lustful thoughts and are against it for that reason. They helped formulate dietary recommendations. There is so much here that is outside the scope of a brief response. I have spent the past 9 years educating myself in this area. I'm an attorney by profession but I am seriously considering changing profession because there's so much in this area that we can do to help people. I can give you some good references if you're interested. But the summary would be eat meat, not lean meat, fatty meat. When possible eat meat that comes from grass-fed, grass finished animals not mass-produced meat from concentrated animal feeding operations or feedlots. The vegan or vegetarian diet is not cruelty free, it doesn't protect animals. A carnivore or meat-based diet involves eating a cow over the course of a year. A vegetarian or vegan diet involves killing hundreds of thousands of small animals that would otherwise live in the fields, killed by combines, killed by the chemicals and fertilizers, glyphosate, animal habitats destroyed. There are several good books on this topic that are available. If you want to incorporate some fruit and vegetables into your diet after a period of avoiding them, incorporate one at a time and see how your body responds, how you feel mentally, psychologically and emotionally. If you're fine then it's reasonable for you to eat that fruit or vegetable in moderation. But remember, seasonally, locally grown, organic. Most of the fruit we have available to us now has been hybridized, altered to be bigger and sweeter, to contain more fructose. As you may know, only the liver processes fructose. We have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children where it was almost unheard of in the past. Type 2 diabetes used to be called adult onset diabetes, now we have it in children. Returning to the topic of a vegan diet it's not just B12 that is lacking. I've written a lot and I should probably end here but if you want more information, if you're genuinely open to more information I'm happy to provide it.

  701. I think you misunderstood. He didn't say that ozempic cannot be prescribed in Europe. It can be, for diabetes. Not for weight loss. "The medicines Bydureon, Byetta, Lyxumia, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Trulicity and Victoza are authorized for diabetes only. Saxenda and Wegovy are authorised for weight management and Mounjaro is authorised for both diabetes and weight management." It's a distinction worth making. It should also be noted that your affect would do the same thing. I read the book he wrote with his sister. I used to view myself as to the left and these issues are pushing me to the center. I'm not a fan of Tucker Carlson or of conspiracy theories but Casey and Callie Means are trying to share important information. Rather than calling things sad you might want to educate yourself. Best of luck.

  702. Don't you understand that's not the point? At a time when tens of millions of Americans are out of work and facing real hunger, Nancy Pelosi speaker of the House exhibited her lovely home and wealth. She showed her kitchen with hundreds of dollars worth of expensive treats and she chuckled about ice cream. At any other time this would not be an issue. The point being made is one of political instincts. Nancy Pelosi has had a long career because she has, generally speaking, excellent political instincts. This is not one of those times. It is a serious mistake of judgment to show yourself in this way at this time. No, it's not fair and yes, Trump is far worse in thousands of ways. That isn't the point being made though. When we hand the Republicans ammunition like this, we hurt ourselves. As a politician, as an educated person, Pelosi should have known how easily this would be weaponized. Let them eat cake is easily turned into let them eat ice cream at her expense.

  704. Show this to all of your friends. Show this to everyone who thinks that it's just the flu, that it won't hurt them, that it won't harm anyone they care about. It will. It does. It's inconvenient to mask up, do it anyway. These are people's lives that are lost. This is irrevocable, it's incomprehensible to me how people can push for unmasking in the face of this tragedy.

  706.  @gigglehertz  I don't know what a concern troll is, but you seem to be a troll without the word concern appended at the start. I'm not going to prove that I had a subscription but I have subscribed for several years. This isn't the only reason behind my change of heart, but it is one of them. I don't have to prove my bona fides to somebody who calls him or herself Marshall Giggleman. Moreover, you don't solve any problems or endear yourself to anyone by attacking someone for voicing a reasonable position. Nor will you do well in life in general by holding this kind of position.

  707.  @gigglehertz  I'll give this one more go. I didn't say that I unsubscribed solely because of this, in fact I clarified that this was not the case. If you're going to respond please address what I'm saying rather an argument that I did not make. Second, I understand that telling someone that they are engaging in pearl-clutching is meant to shame them and to make them feel bad, have at it, it doesn't work on me. Third, nowhere did I say that these folks are the equivalent of trump. What I did say was that I had been a long time paid subscriber, and that this in addition to some other issues caused me to unsubscribe. if you wanted to have a real conversation you would ask what those things were, what objections in general I might have and you would engage on those topics. Instead, you seem to want to mock and two generally speaking be a bit of a troll When I suggested that you might want to approach people differently this is what I'm referring to. You want to know what somebody thinks and why they think it solicit their point of you rather than attack them. Any further responses in a similar vein from you will not be addressed.

  710. This is unkind. It's low-hanging fruit, there's no need to make a mockery of this kid. It's clear that he's very young and doesn't know what he's talking about, why not educate him instead of mocking him? By mocking him you assure that he'll double down and dig his heels in. He's so young, you can hear it in his voice, this is a missed opportunity to educate somebody and plant the seeds of a better view point. Poorly done and disappointing. The group in the back laughing and egging each other on, to make the kid feel even worse adds to it. If this were an adult who had power and knowledge and had these viewpoints that would be different, but mocking some ignorant kid rather than trying to turn him around is disappointing and sad. I know that my comment is late, this video was in my queue today. It just goes on and on though, why would you call him a dumb fuck and mock him incessantly and then put it up on YouTube? This was really a missed opportunity. The incessant laughing of the choir in the background is distasteful. Who is this video intended for? Is it intended to show everyone how Sam and company can take apart some uneducated kid? Why is that the goal?
    1
  711.  @AntiFaGoat  That isn't helpful or clever. The goal should be educating people and helping them to see what is really going on. Being punitive to somebody who is young and stupid only serves to make them dig their heels in. If that's your goal, then you've achieved it but I think it's a pretty stupid goal.

  712. I am less than a minute into the actual video and as soon as that phone rings and the person on the other end is talking about a promotion, that's where you hang up. I apologize that the Indian accent carries the presumption of fraud but unfortunately that is how it is now due to the preponderance of scammers. For myself though? Anyone calling regardless of accent is going to be screened by Google (we have Google Fi) and if it isn't someone I know or a bonafide business I interact with I am not going to take the call.

  713. ​​ @JimBrowning  Hi Jim! I am an attorney in the US. I'm not presently employed full time, I had to have some surgeries that I am now completely recovered from. If you could use anyone in my position to help, I would make myself available. It breaks my heart when I hear about older people in particular being scammed out of their rent and grocery money. It makes me angry and sad. If I can help in any way, no matter how small I would be happy to do so. Thank you for the important work that you do. There are very few heroes out there and you are one of them. * Unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised by the number of people who fall for the scam. I didn't mean to suggest that anyone who does fall for it is wrong to do so. We are human, we love free things, discounts, the feeling of winning a prize. That is what the scam appeals to. They are hitting psychological buttons and that's why, as you said, they are able to get people to fall for the scam.

You're not going to get someone to think if you mock them and humiliate them. What's the point of posting the video? Look at us look how funny we are look how we tear apart this young idiot. Why is that a good thing? It really is low-hanging fruit and I expect better from Sam, not necessarily the rest of them.

  718.  @18skeltor  This was 3 years ago, I had to scroll through the entirety of the comments to remember what it was in regard to! I like Sam, I think he is a decent person and well intentioned. I found this video frustrating because you don't change anyone by mocking them. I'm not perfect, I've mocked people and I have been unkind. Probably too often. It just struck me that someone like that kid, who is still so young is the person you want to try to persuade, someone you won't persuade immediately but who might benefit from the seeds of thought being planted. That's the person you want to treat with a degree of decency and kindness so that they don't double down on their mistaken beliefs. I understand that it would be a stress reducer to have a fun time laughing but this video struck me as ugly. A crew of people sitting back laughing and mocking someone who absorbed erroneous beliefs from their environment. If we want a decent society, if we want even a chance at persuading people this is not the way to go about it. As for your comment about following them? This was years ago. Obviously I didn't do that nor would I. Moreover, you have absolutely no clue as to whether their mind can be changed. The fact that you are so certain that it's not possible puts you in the same camp as they are. One of ignorance and harm. There are plenty of people whose minds are changed over time. Of course it doesn't happen from one conversation, no one thinks it would. The point I was making that apparently eluded you was that rather than plant the seeds, and I hope you understand what that means, they chose to mock him. You don't persuade someone from one conversation but you can create room for questioning. If you think a reasonably intelligent person has no chance whatsoever of ever questioning the things they believe, why are you here? What's the point in anything? That is patently untrue and stupidly nihilistic. It's work to meet someone where they are and to try to offer them information that would allow them to question the things they believe. It's hard work and it can be both thankless and frustrating. It's work that I'm not doing right now because I'm not being particularly patient with you. I get irritated when people on our side, loosely defined, don't understand that we do harm when we cause people to double down.

  720. When you feel a negative emotion, let yourself feel it. Tell yourself that it will pass, take a step away and look at it: "This is something I know, it's not going to hurt me, I can feel this and I will be okay." Let yourself ride it out. That doesn't mean remaining steeped in it but it also doesn't mean pushing it away and distracting yourself or using a substance to feel better. In the moment when you are feeling it it can be scary. We have patterns, responses that we are used to. Remind yourself that it's okay. Let yourself feel it, look at it, understand it and then you'll be able to let it go. Maybe not the first time but you will. If you can't do this the first time, be kind to yourself. It is difficult. But with more understanding and patience, you will be able to feel the emotions, ride them out, understand where they came from and then you'll my able to let them go. There is something I've learned. Some of the responses I have to things that no longer serve me, it's important to recognize that they did. In the past, those ways of behaving saved my life or let me get through difficult situations. My Alexander technique teacher, when I said that I want to get rid of those ways of responding, said this: "Treat yourself with kindness. You can look at those ways of responding and reacting and recognize that they helped you. Then you can turn to them in yourself and say the equivalent of "Thank you. You saved me and helped me. We got through it. I am a strong person. Now though, I'm in a different situation and we have to change how we respond to things." In other words treat yourself with kindness and respect, when we try to change patterns of behavior that developed out of necessity, we should treat those patterns with respect rather than just trying to throw them away. They exist for a reason, they are part of us. They might have saved us by getting us through difficult times. Now we can recognize that the situation is different and we want to change how we respond. Finding a good therapist to help might be useful but it is difficult to find good therapists.

I'm not saying to give them a pass for all the stupid things, for all the evil things, for all the bad intentioned things they do. But as you know the Republican party thrives on ignorance and the only way to fix that is to educate. You are never going to bring someone over to the other side by trolling them or abusing them or screaming at them or telling them they're an idiot, and I admit I have done all of these things because I feel as frustrated as you do.

  723. MD are you? Do you call all of the older women who are out of touch dinosaurs? What about the older men? What about your parents or your grandparents? Do you roll your eyes at them and think of them in this way? Do you agree with the guy above who said that her face looks like something drawn on a scrotum? Did that make you giggle, do you find it funny? No. There's a lot of sexism in this and it needs to stop. Nancy Pelosi should retire. She does not represent the values of the vast majority of people in this country. There is a real problem with the fact that she became so wealthy while performing the role of a public servant. There are real issues here. Why do you and so many like you content yourselves with taking potshots at her age and appearance? Would you want to be dismissed on the basis of your age and have your appearance mocked? Do you think that this kind of hatefulness feeds anything positive? I will continue to do whatever I can to persuade people to vote out people like Nancy Pelosi. I will do whatever I can to get progressives into government. I feel as strongly about this as you do, possibly more for reasons I won't go into here. But it is so disheartening and disturbing to see those with whom I share many important beliefs and positions sitting here indulging their worst impulses.

  724.  Z'Q  Nope, sorry. Your sarcasm notwithstanding - she isn't a liar. Calm yourself. It is reasonable to say that in THIS year with Trump and his rabid base a woman would have a lot of difficulty getting elected. He has a reputation for truthfulness. So does she. Why are you in such an ugly rush to crucify her? What is the problem that you have? You want to cannibalize those who are on our side out of an abundance of ideological purity? Bad idea. He believes a woman can be elected - possibly not this year. She has had a disgustingly difficult time. Try some empathy - how would it be to be her? How would it feel to be smart and able and to run up against sexism time and time again? Watch the interview with Chris Matthews and his disbelief that a woman should be, you know, believed. This is something women deal with every day. Imagine how that would feel and how RAW you'd be after years of it - and then if you do that, you'll see how she might have misunderstood something. Get a hold of yourself and your own sexism in rushing to judgement. Christ. You all want to crucify people on OUR SIDE for some perceived failing rather than directing your energy towards those who really are a threat. Your Last Mohican comment told everyone reading exactly where you stand. Seriously, go to hell with that - when you jump on the Trump train to insult Warren you show yourself to be the lowest of the low and not worth my or anyone else's time.

  727. Dr Weil has a lot of genuinely useful information to share but I was irritated at the idea that back pain is primarily psychological. We don't want to teach people that physical problems are psychological. We don't want to teach people that "yes, your x-ray is pretty bad but other people have worse x-rays and they're fine, so it's all in your head." That is tremendously invalidating. I just had back surgery, a minimally invasive laminectomy. Nerves that had been completely compressed now have room. The pain disappeared because the nerves are no longer compressed. There was nothing psychological in it. There's a danger with alternative medicine of going too far. When a doctor finds a tool, a useful tool that others are perhaps not aware of or discount, we all benefit from learning about that tool. The problem is thinking that every problem can be solved with that one new special tool. If you have a hammer everything becomes a nail. The ability to look into psychological issues is important. But at the same time it is dangerously wrong to say that most back pain is psychological. It's dangerously wrong to say that anything falls into the same category. Let's avoid making the kinds of generalizations that can cost people their lives and health. It also damages the credibility of people on the alternative side of the spectrum.

It won't push me to the other side because their beliefs are antithetical to who I am but it does make me feel a lot of frustration and sadness. If you say something about it you're accused of moralizing, if you don't then you are quietly acquiescing to it.

  731.  @steik6414  I wasn't reacting to the majority of the video. As a general matter Brooks frequently goes too far and that's why I said something. He panders to the uglier side of his audience by making these kinds of jokes. You called it moralizing. What should do, quietly acquiesce to it, be silent? The whole point of the left is to limit suffering, to make the world a better place for more people. Not to be snide or ugly or celebrate the death of another person. It's not that he made a joke, it's how he courts that ugliness and encourages it. He almost always goes just that bit too far. I understand that it is for the benefit of his audience but what that feeds in his audience is also what I am objecting to.

There was no response to that only more of the "f off, hahaha, lib clutching pearls" rubbish. I agree that as a general matter it is much better to be civil and try to engage in a conversation with as open a mind as we can muster.

  733.  @theelectricant98  I'm aware of how he got his money and I am as far from a fan of his as you can get. Some of his general advice has helped a certain type of mostly white, mostly millennial male. The problem is that it is often a gateway to the alt right. It would be really interesting to talk about that and from my perspective he is clearly a bad actor. He is very much for a traditional hierarchy. I've read some of his work, I've watched some of his videos, and it would be difficult to find someone with whom I disagree more. But that said, let's attack the substance. I was objecting to the unnecessarily ugly innuendo, to the smirking and sniggering. The fact that I find someone intensely dislikable doesn't mean that I would celebrate misfortune befalling them or think it right to smear dirt on their son or daughter. If this book was put out by him and he okayed his daughter being on the cover in a bikini, there is so much we can say about that but there is a line and Brooks crossed it.

  734.  @theelectricant98  The grift yes, the rest of it not so much. Of course we should point out how absurd he is, the nature of the grift, all of it. I was objecting to the other part, to the suggestions that he lusts after his daughter and the smirking celebration of that masked as edgy humor. With respect to the so-called diet, apparently there is a small segment of the population who do benefit from eating this way. I read that this could be because their gut is so messed up that it functions as a reboot, an extreme elimination diet that allows their gut to heal. I wouldn't advocate it in the absence of a nutritionist suggesting it for a short period of time.

  735.  @steik6414  Moralizing is by definition a negative. It is "the action of commenting on issues of right and wrong, typically with an unfounded air of superiority." There is no unfounded air of superiority here. It is worrisome that you need me to tell you why it is wrong for a comedian or presenter or whatever you want to call Brooks to engage in smirking sniggering jokes about someone lusting after their daughter. It is concerning that this is something that would now be called moralizing. There are values that should be understood to be universal. Why do you want to encourage the worst of human nature? Brooks has a platform, he is looked up to that plenty of the people who come to this channel. That gives him a responsibility. If he makes jokes people absorb that humor and it becomes part of their view of what is correct and right. It is more than a tacit acceptance, it is encouragement. I am surprised and astonished that this has to be explained. Why not ask me next why it is wrong to steal or rape or murder? It's okay to cast ugly aspersions on someone, to call that out is now, in your view, moralizing. What comes next on this slippery slope? Are you going to tell me that it is moralizing to say that it is wrong to smash someone's head in with a bat? Will you tell me that there are some situations where it is okay? Of course it hurts the left's values. We, most of us, stand for the proposition that it is better to reduce suffering and misery. To try to live our lives as thoughtful decent human beings. If someone is a bad actor, call them out on substance. To sit back and snigger over so-called edgy humor that panders to the ugliest impulses harms us. And it opens us up to the accusation of hypocrisy when we call out the other side for similar behavior.

  736.  @steik6414  Your argument is disingenuous and you aren't addressing the issue - you are sidelining it and minimizing it. I wasn't sure if this was because you genuinely didn't understand but at this point I'm fairly sure that you do. Your choice of language is the giveaway and the fact that you aren't addressing any of the points I've been making. I can't help you with that but I can decide to not participate any further and I am making that decision. You are free to continue to argue that it's just fine and funny to make jokes about an individual lusting after his daughter, that there is no harm in, that it's all for the lols, and funny. You can persuade yourself, as you have already done, that this is a valid position and that you "are afraid" you don't understand the issue. You aren't being truthful. I know that and so do you. It is not a valid position to take. You also seem to think that your language is subtle - please trust me, it is not. Nor is "absurd" of me to "allow" (allow?) people to vote in elections but to prefer that they not be exposed to a constant barrage of ugly jokes that are demeaning and damaging. It's absurd that you claim to not understand the difference. I'm going to guess that you're okay with rape jokes too. Hey, why not, it's funny, right? Holocaust jokes okay with you? By your metric why would they be a problem? Everything is fair game, it's only a "joke" - it doesn't do any harm, right? Wrong. It does tremendous harm. It is beyond the scope of a comment to try to educate you on the many ways in which this does harm. And I suspect that you already know some of them but are engaging in pretense for some reason. People are formed and charged by the things they are exposed to. So called edgy humor about a man lusting after his daughter is distasteful and offensive, it isn't funny - you want to deride Peterson? There is so much about the man that is awful - take something valid and make jokes about it - do not make puerile smirking jokes about him wanting to screw his daughter. It cheapens the discourse and over time damages those who come back for more. Is one stupid offensive joke a problem? Not necessarily. A constant barrage of it is an issue. Ask yourself where the line is - where your slippery slope takes you. I don't think that you will because your comments aren't made in good faith.

  737. Please reconsider using his product. Don't be the guinea pig for something that is not proven safe and healthy. Make mayonnaise out of olive oil and pasture raised egg yolks. A little bit of olive oil if you can get good quality olive oil that isn't adulterated is better than using something that was created in a laboratory. Olives are real food. If you take them and smash them you get oil. Cultured oil, the product that Jeff is seeking to become very rich from selling, is not a natural food it is a processed food. He's right about the dangers of processed seed, grain and vegetable oils. They are generally extracted with hexane, they are pro-inflammatory and they become rancid very quickly. There are many good reasons to stay away from those oils. There is not however a good reason to manufacture a replacement in a laboratory. There are real food good quality alternatives. Please don't enrich someone at risk to yourself. In 50 years or so if it's proven that this substance is generally safe, maybe but even then I would prefer real food.

  738.  Trouser Troll  It is poetic justice, you have to acknowledge that. He told the country that it was a hoax. His base believed him. Others believed him. People in this country look to the president for guidance. He told everyone that it was like the flu, that it would disappear, he mocked people for wearing masks and at the very same time he told Bob Woodward multiple times that it was a very real threat and that many people would die. That it was transmissible by air and much worse than the flu. This isn't politics. It isn't about Republican versus Democrat because Trump isn't a Republican, he never was. He was a Democrat, he was pro-choice, he gave money to Democratic candidates and then he switched because he wanted more power and he knew this was the way to get it. I'm not a proponent of Republican politics but if Trump were a standard Republican I would disagree with him but I would not feel the way I feel right now. What does he have to do in order for you and others like you to understand? We have over 200,000 deaths. The majority of these deaths were preventable. People listened to Trump it never occurred to them that he would lie about something this serious, this critical. He did lie though, repeatedly. And because he is entertaining his base eats it up and cheers. How do you support him as an American? Every patriot rejects Trump. You cannot be a thinking person, you cannot be an ethical person and support someone who coldly calculated and decided that hundreds of thousands of deaths would be an acceptable price to pay for the temporary continued good standing of the stock market. And while we're here, look at how he talks about other people. I don't agree with Ilhan Omar about a lot of things but she is an American and a member of Congress. At one of his rallies he talked about how she doesn't get to tell us what to do with our country. Our country? It's her country too. Blatant ugly racism. And the proud boys? They should stand by? There has not been a Republican president in modern history who has been so avowedly and openly racist. The standards we hold Democrats to are very different. You will allow all of these things, celebrate them or turn a blind eye but the moment someone on the other side points out the irony, the poetic justice of something happening, you feel that that is not correct and are here to chastise.

  739.  @Icien1  I think it's reasonable to understand why he holds the ideas that he does. The Jewish people have suffered at the hands of pretty much everyone. Before the Holocaust there were pogroms. Jews have been discriminated against, killed with impunity, the church has openly told it's adherents that the Jewish people were responsible for the death of Christ. Anti-semitism is very much alive and well today. In this country you have right wing Trump supporters chanting "Jews will not replace us.". The video presented it as though he were paranoid, he isn't and he wasn't. His fears are well founded. The question of whether he foments discord is different. I don't think it is appropriate for us to weigh in on that based solely on this video. I do not support their right-wing government. but I've also seen what hashappened when Israel tries for peace only to be confronted with Palestinians chanting "Death to the Jews." It exists in slang, people talk about "Jewing someone down" and the left wing in this country doesn't object. Antisemitism is a constant. Whatever side of the political spectrum you may be on, you see it. If the video had presented him as a saint, I would have argued the other side. My point is only that he has good reason to think as he does. He's right about the threat to Israel and to the Jewish people. The rest of it, whether he is unnecessarily contentious, foments discord, acts in ways that he should not, says things that he should not, that is probably correct. I disagree with him politically and he has taken actions that have been wrong. But he is not paranoid and I think it is clear that he does what he does out of genuine care for the Jewish people and Israel, not power for power's sake. Also, I don't think he wants war over peace. I think if you were to present him with a genuine peace accord that would be valued equally by both sides, and would be fair to both sides, and where the actions of both sides would be judged equally, he would take it in a heartbeat.

  741. This is a clickbait title. Have boomers stolen their children's futures? Is this something else we can pin on older people, it's all their fault! Boomers are the generation that fought for many of the freedoms people take for granted now. Each subsequent generation blames the ones before it, this is nothing new. It's a way for a channel to get views, it isn't groundbreaking analysis. No, boomers did not steal anyone's future. The problems we have are primarily the result of late stage capitalism where the wealth concentrates in an ever smaller number of hands. In the '50s and '60s wealth was more evenly distributed, it hadn't had a chance to concentrate as it has now. Because of this, unions had greater bargaining power resulting in better wages for workers. People like Bernie Sanders tried to tell us this but we didn't elect him. A channel with 2 million subscribers should do better than to blame problems on any given generation. This is part of the problem, simplistic analysis that does nothing to further anyone's understanding.

  742. Don't be a douche, that's unnecessary and offensive. Plenty of women vote correctly. The fact is women have also been disenfranchised historically, it makes sense that women would vote to the left because they haven't had rights. Learning where that can go is painful but being an ass to people doesn't help anything. Seriously, dude, do better.

It's worth remembering that chiropractors are not medical doctors.

  745. I don't think your disavowel of the anti-Semitism was strong enough. What issues between Jewish people and Black people? Do you mean the issues where Jewish people stood by Black people? Do you mean when people like my grandparents marched for civil rights? Do you mean when the white people in their town burned crosses on their lawns because they were Jewish and were called n-word lovers? Your disavowel should have been much more robust. Of all the peoples in this country Jewish people have put time and effort in to fighting for fairness, equality and justice. Because of the Holocaust, because of the history of anti-Semitism and hatred, Jewish people more so than any other group understand what it's like to be targeted and have always stood up for others. . Do you think it is helpful to play the same clip of someone shouting about the "satanic Jews" repeatedly? Do you not understand that that feeds hatred? The fact that you didn't disavow it more strongly is a real concern. Anti-semitism isn't okay, not from white people and not from Black people. Not when it is overt and not when it is understated with a nudge and a wink. When black people are anti-Semitic they are acting as "useful idiots" to racist, anti-Semitic, white nationalist white people. When you absorb that kind of thinking you are hurting yourself. You are functioning as their tool and you aren't even aware of it. Jewish people and black people are on the same side or they should be.

  748. ​ @danacaro-herman3530  Religion is the cause of so much strife, war, suffering and death. Each religion believes itself to be the correct one. Each teaches its adherents to go forth and proselytize. To force their version of the truth on others frequently at gunpoint. No, it is absolutely believers that are the problem. Religion is behind so much tragedy. You believe that your god is the correct god and someone else's god is a lie. You go forth and try to force people to change their beliefs because God told you to. Meanwhile their version of God tells them to do the same thing to you. Religion, faith, spirituality should be something private and personal between the individual and whatever version of God they believe in. It should not be in the public domain and it should not be used as an excuse to hurt other people. Non-believers by definition don't try to force their beliefs unto others. That is something believers do.

  752. I have significant issues with some of Jordan Peterson's work. I think he is deeply hierarchical in a way that can be damaging to women. I've seen the clip where he talks to a woman and says women wear makeup at work to arouse sexuality. No, we don't. As an attorney, as an administrative law judge, I put a little bit of makeup on because it was expected. If you don't people ask you if you're sick. On the topic of this video though, I am not to the right. I used to be to the left but that changed on October 7th, good leftists cheered Hamas and that was a wake-up call for me. My views on the pandemic and vaccinations are not to the right but neither do I believe that everyone should be vaccinated. All of that said, this was an eye-opening interview. I may disagree with her perspective on some things but as an attorney, what happened to her was wrong. It was clearly done to frighten her. The judge was being vindictive. He should have recused himself. She is absolutely right on the law.

  753.  @yusufdunphy5402  There's no compulsion, you say? Sharia law is all about compulsion. There are hundreds of videos from various countries where Sharia law is imposed. They send out patrols to enforce it. People are arrested and caned for the "offense" of wearing western clothing, or gambling or kissing someone. That is the definition of compulsion. People are forced to do something against their will under threat of death. I'm sorry, but that is Islam. I've heard a lot from Muslims about how Islam is a religion of peace. It's religion of peace for those who adhere to it and follow its rules. It isn't a religion of peace if you choose to live your life differently or if you belong to a different religion. I am pretty far to the left politically but I would not want to have large number of people who follow the Islamic faith in my area. You might also say that not everyone does what the people in this video are doing. Not every person who follows Islam seeks to overthrow the laws of the country they are living in and replace them with Sharia law. If you say that you're probably right. It probably isn't everyone. but the majority believe that imposing Sharia law is acceptable. They believe that having patrols enforce a religion's law under threat of physical punishment or death is acceptable because they believe that this is what God wants. As soon as you start talking about what you believe God wants it gives you carte blanche to do anything you want to do as long as it follows from your holy book. What happens then when what your holy books conflicts with what someone else's holy book says? Who decides which holy book gets the final word, who decides which is true? I can remind you of what happens in that situation, war. People die. People are tortured, women are raped, the worst crimes are done in the name of religion. I believe in freedom of religion up until the point where that religion would impose a punishment on anyone, whether they follow the religion or whether they are outside of it, for failure to do something the religion says you should do.

  754. Boomers? Bernie is a boomer. Every boomer I know is voting for Bernie Sanders in their state primary. I was listening to a podcast this morning from the New York times and the woman who was talking about not being able to vote for Bernie was in her 30s or 40s, not a boomer at all.

  755.  @brentshowers741  You're saying that a boomer state of mind is an old state of mind? Are we talking people in their '50s or '70s? Because the hippie movement is the boomers. Those people embodied forward thinking. I guess I'm just questioning the idea that boomers are a group of people who are old and responsible for all of the bad things. Among my acquaintances almost every boomer voted for Hillary after wanting to vote for Sanders. It was the millennial cohort that got disgusted and stayed home, engaged in protest votes or voted for Trump in an attempt to blow the system up and hasten big changes. Gen X here btw.

Everyday I get up and I make the choice to do the best I can, to become the best version of myself that I can be.

  762. Please just stop. The reason people see anti-Semitism in Omar's statements is because she has said anti-semitic things in the past. Ilhan Omar has engaged in a lot of anti Semitic language over the years. She has used anti-semitic imagery and she has apologized for it. On a personal level, I don't buy her apologies because she has done it repeatedly. While there's nothing in the statement that is in and of itself anti-Semitic, it's clearly reasonable that people will see anti-semitism more quickly in someone who has engaged in that in the past.

  763. ​ @doctorthirteen5727  No, criticizing Israel's policies is not anti-Semitic. No one said it was. Ilhan Oman has in the past engaged in antisemitism. This is not in debate.

  766.  @jasonm1827  If you had read my comment you would know that I agree. Criticizing the Israeli government is not anti-Semitic. Read what I actually wrote, then if you have something additional to add, please do so.
    1
  767.  @jasonm1827  Here is the longer version of my first comment: There is a lot of ignorance here. Ilhan Omar is often presumed to be anti-Semitic because she has engaged in antisemitism in the past. This is not in debate. Anyone who fires back self righteously defending Omar is doing so because they don't know what they're talking about - or worse, don't care. I don't know if Omar is genuinely anti-Semitic. I hope she's not. I do know that many of you are. There are legitimate criticisms to be made of the Israeli government. Unfortunately the majority of the commenters here can't make those criticisms because you don't know enough about the situation and the history. When you get your "knowledge" from YouTube you're consuming information that is slanted to reinforce your existing world view. It's good to challenge that. You may end up believing exactly the same things and those things might be entirely correct. And sometimes they won't be. With regard to Ilhan Omar: The fact that she has criticized Israel's policies is not anti-Semitic. No one said it was. The problem is that she has in the past engaged in more than dog whistles. This is not in debate. She apologized for it. Do some research. Ideally one would refrain from forming a rigid point of view before learning about the topic at hand. Omar has accused Jewish Americans of harboring dual loyalty and she's used anti-Semitic tropes. Not once, but several times. You can argue that she did it out of ignorance and I'd accept that the first time. The problem is that it continued again and again. If we stand up against racist dog whistles, why is anti Semitism okay? Again, this is not about VALID CRITICISM AGAINST ISRAEL - that's entirely valid. This, however, is a problem. Here's some information to use as a start: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/2/12/18220241/ilhan-omars-twitter-tweet-anti-semitism https://www.npr.org/2019/03/07/700901834/minnesota-congresswoman-ignites-debate-on-israel-and-anti-semitism https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/02/11/its-all-about-benjamins-baby-ilhan-omar-again-accused-anti-semitism-over-tweets/ **Edit: Engage on the facts. Calling someone "caca" because you disagree with them is a waste of everyone's time. Spend the time to learn about the issue. If you "dislike Israel" be honest with yourself and look at why you feel that way. You think Israel is bad and the Arabs are innocent and good? When in reality is anything ever that black and white? If you think it is in this case then you're not being honest. Israel wanted to live peacefully and was attacked time and time again. You want to discuss the issue with Hamas? Let's do that - Hamas is a terrorist organization that has as its stated goal the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews. If you're the child or grandchild of Holocaust survivors, you're going to take a pretty dim view of that and react accordingly. The reality of the situation in the Middle East is complicated and nuanced and difficult. This is a complex issue, I know a lot about it from both sides. I'm an American but I lived in the Middle East. I'm open to discussing it but I won't engage with anyone who feels that a productive response is to call another person "caca."

  768. I think you mean pregnant women right? The person being interviewed kept talking about pregnant people. I'm pretty far to the left, I supported Bernie, I work and support the rights of everyone. But people who get pregnant are women.

  769.  @blackbox8490  people don't get pregnant. Women get pregnant. It strikes me as ridiculous to listen to someone talking about people getting pregnant, it invalidates women. Are there some cases of transgender people who are still physically female but consider themselves male and get pregnant? Sure, granted. But even in those cases you're referring to, the person is physically a woman. It is damaging to mangle language in an effort to be politically correct while invalidating women's experience. This is why it bothers me. Women and girls menstruate and get pregnant. Men do not. It's true that the transgender community has suffered at the hands of conservatives and those who are unwilling to acknowledge them. We can address that issue without changing language and invalidating women. Why do you feel that it is necessary to refer to pregnant people or menstruating people? Is it your position that men menstruate or get pregnant? Clearly they don't, why does this matter to you?
    1
  770.  @blackbox8490  I thought this was the case, but I'm not invalidating anyone's experience. I am stating simply that girls and women menstruate and get pregnant. Men do not. If you identify as a woman then you are in that category. Men do not menstruate. Men do not get pregnant. The category of trans people is an exception and relative to the population at large, comprises a small number of people. The fact that I say that women and girls menstruate and get pregnant is not intended to invalidate your lived experience. Is it your position that all of language should be altered for trans people? Is it your position that women's experience should be invalidated because you don't feel that you fit the category? Language changes over time, perhaps it will change and we will come to talk about people who get pregnant and people who menstruate but I hope that we don't. There are differences between men and women. Women cannot impregnate, but we give birth. There isn't a lot that is hard and fast but this is one of those few things. My stating this doesn't invalidate your experience. I am not saying that you should not identify as the gender you feel yourself to be. I am not stating that you should not have equal rights. You should. However, if you look like a man, you should not be using the women's bathroom. It can be intimidating for girls and women to have people who appear male using the same washroom. I recognize that this might not be fair to some trans people, but there is an equally compelling concern of the comfort and well-being of women. If a trans person appears to be female, they should use the bathroom they feel most comfortable using. If their appearance is male, they should use the men's bathroom. I live in the Seattle area and I've had the disconcerting experience of a large muscular person with facial hair, someone who very much appeared to be a man, entering a small two stall women's bathroom. That shouldn't happen. Unfortunately I think you're going to take the position that it's fine, that to deny that person the right to use the women's bathroom invalidates their experience. Do you have any concern or consideration for the experience and existence of women? Or do you negate that entirely because you are a trans person who views themselves as male? Do you think trans people, male to female, who do not appear female should be able to use the women's bathroom because they identify as female? This wasn't the original issue but I think it's related so I brought it up.

She went down on him twice it's reasonable for him to assume that her doing that is an indication of interest in moving forward. He wanted to have sex with her and if she didn't want to have sex she should have left the apartment. There is no indication that he tried to prevent her from leaving there is no indication of pressure in any way.

He does not have the background necessary and in a country where we have Trump as the backlash to Obama, you aren't going to see an Asian man elected. Especially one of his age and background. You don't like medicare-for-all? Every other advanced nation has some version of it. Medical care is a human right and should not be limited on the basis of income. In this country we spend twice as much on medical treatment per capita and our results are worse than other countries because the money goes into the coffers of corporations and shareholders, it isn't used for the benefit of people. There should not be any such thing as a medical bankruptcy. People should never have to choose between a necessary medicine and paying the rent. That is an obscenity. I'm going to vote for Sanders or Warren in my state primary and I will vote for whomever the Democratic nominee is while doing everything I can to ensure that it isn't Biden or one of the billionaires. If the nominee happens to be Andrew Yang, of course I will vote for him.

I want people to be less ignorant overall, I do not want to live in a country where there is a political party that is so heavily invested, as is the Republican party, in people being ignorant because they are easy to control and manipulate. I want to increase the overall level of happiness and decrease level of misery. I don't care who gets us there.

  781.  @nathanbrehm1085  I do know a lot about Andrew Yang. I don't form an opinion without educating myself first. I have some concerns with regard to the universal basic income, I think it's a good idea in concept but with racist America not wanting their neighbors to have health care, because they don't want it to go to "people like them" we aren't going to get a universal basic income bill passed. There are other concerns with it too, when it takes the place of other programs you are going to end up creating a perpetual underclass in much the same way as we have one right now. I think that amount of money could be life-changing but as I said I have some concerns. if we do a universal basic income and at the same time provide education so that people can elevate themselves, then that is better. The problem is the masses of people in this country are racist and ignorant and undereducated subject to the manipulation of the Republican party. They are extremely uncomfortable with giving anything to people they view as lesser. And unfortunately they view most that way.

I do not believe in taking a bow of poverty. Try not to mock, or exaggerate. I understand that it is a rhetorical device and that it's fun, but if you're trying to change hearts and minds, try to do so with good intent.

  787.  @richiejohnson  A few things. First, where did you get the number that half of these people voted for Trump? I don't think that number is accurate unless you can show me something to substantiate. We know that some people voted for Trump and we know that some people wrote in third party candidates. That isn't what cost Clinton the election and I've voted for her as a staunch Sanders supporter even though she wasn't my first choice. What's the point of writing here if you don't hope to get people thinking? If you're using it to vent anger then that's one thing and I understand that because it happens for me too. But no one deserves a Trump presidency not even his intellectually challenged supporters. And there are hundreds of millions of people whose lives will be irrevocably damaged if he gets reelected.

  789.  @damianbieniek3926  The point was appropriately made. I'm in a mythic raiding guild and after missing the first couple of weeks I'm doing 14s. I don't have to be the subject or have something apply to me in order to find it correct. Do you understand what I'm saying or shall I suggest that you "sth" as well?

  790.  @damianbieniek3926  Hey toxic bro? Were you 5.2k io last season? No you weren't. I was. Did you miss the first two weeks of this expansion due to real life family illness? No, but I did. I'm still timing 14s, are you? None of this is the point though. You live to insult and demean others with whom you disagree. You're either too young or you don't care to understand that it's possible to have a disagreement on a topic with both sides making valid points. The original comment is still correct. It's damaging to the health of the game for people to feel frustrated from a lack of progress. If you devote a full day to running M+ you should come away with more than some anima. A currency would help solve this as would increasing the drop rate of gear. Otherwise you'll have burnout from everyone other than those who want to go back to the old days. That will lead to less and less people playing.

  791.  @damianbieniek3926  I'm happy to post my io. You seem to have difficulties with reading comprehension, the issue isn't my last season io or current progression. Your tactic of ignoring everything I'm saying in favor of another distraction is not effective. You are confusing me with someone else, and you're missing the point. Defending someone else's post does not make me or them for that matter, a casual. I defended what they wrote because they're right. It is not healthy for the game in general for people to spend 20 or 30 hours playing and come away with no sense of progression. That leads to less game engagement, a smaller community, and eventually the death of the game. I enjoy the game and I don't want that to happen. Presumably you do too. Ask yourself what you gain by insulting anyone you disagree with. I think you're also confused about the meaning of the word rookie. Please feel free to link your raider io. Since you believe 5k to be rookie status, I'm going to expect you to be top 10 world at least.

  793.  @jonmendelson1104   fair and accurate response. I want to give you a thoughtful answer but it's late and I'm sleepy. You're right about the use of kind of cringe and that made me laugh. I'll spend some time answering your comment when I wake up.

  794.  Dill Stevens  No, you are not simple minded if you fall for a scam. How shortsighted of you to think so. Here's an analogy. Are you versed in medicine? I can tell you something that is medical in nature and easily persuade you of it because I have more knowledge than you. It isn't your area of expertise. Does that mean you're simple minded? Older people who are not versed in technology aren't simple minded. They are simply not versed in technology. Otherwise anyone who is not an expert in a field would be viewed as stupid or simple when they are not. I'm an attorney, how well versed are you in the law? If I wanted to I could persuade you of any number of things that are erroneous simply by virtue of my knowledge and your lack thereof. It makes me angry to read this kind of comment. Are you also a person who views women as somehow lesser because they aren't men? Not quite as bright, perhaps? More emotional? Not as good at math or science? Not suited to the law? There are many things that people believe because it's convenient. It makes them feel better, superior to others. That doesn't make those things true. The older person you view with disdain and consider simple minded knows things that you probably never will. Have more humility and judge others less.

  795.  @elisao927  I'm not surprised that it bothered you. It bothered me also, I found what he said to be extremely offensive and I don't fall into the category he is referring to. I hope you read the rest of the conversation below, I've written a few comments and had a conversation with a different person who was pretty reasonable. This seems to be a type of primarily younger male thinking. I'm sure women do it sometimes but in my experience it's most frequently younger men, specifically those who don't have nearly as much knowledge as they believe themselves to have, who tend to judge and dismiss older people, often particularly older women. The best we can do is to point out why it is offensive and to try to help them understand how their thinking is flawed. It is easy to give in to the temptation to be as condescending to them as they are to others and they frequently deserve it but that leads to more combative exchanges were no one listens to anyone else.

  797. I watched the video. Thank you. I've tried to make similar points here in the past, they were not well received. I gave up and unsubscribed. The foods this channel promotes are common in the US and in the absence of much more knowledge is difficult to persuade people to eat differently. I already knew a lot of what was in the video but not to the extent it was explained. I have olive oil and avocado oil in my house but I primarily cook with butter unless it's high heat. I'm going to watch the video again and learn more. He makes the case powerfully and backs it up again and again. It would be difficult to watch that video and walk away from it unchanged.

  798. I lost a lot of weight following Dr Jason Fung. I started eating real food, I had already been eating a reasonably healthy diet but I put real attention into it. Then I got stuck at about 208 lb. A few months ago I had a rough period of time and badly needed a win. I went back to Dr Fung's books and I found other resources such as Dr Jamnadas (Dr Mark Hyman, Dr Robert Lustig and Sten Ekberg to list a few) and I did OMAD (one meal a day) keto. I only ate real food, once a day to reasonable satiety. I've lost an additional 20+ pounds so far and people who haven't seen me in a while talk about how I am glowing with health and how I seem happier. Objectively I feel better, I'm still struggling with some issues stemming from a very abusive childhood but I feel better and I am much healthier. My A1C is 4.4 as of my last doctor's appointment a month ago. Eating real food makes such a tremendous difference to our health. It's astonishing how far we've gotten away from that and how dire the consequences have been. I saw my dermatologist yesterday and she asked if I had been doing this entirely on my own and I said yes and she said not even a little Ozempic? I said no I don't want to take a drug to do something I can naturally accomplish by eating right and she was very impressed. She said she had not seen anyone who was doing what I did without the help of drugs. That is a depressing thought, that we can't do these things on our own without pharmaceutical assistance that comes at its own price, not just the financial either.

  800. No, Sam. In this case I think you're wrong. I am no fan of Meghan McCain's, she's irritating and far too privileged and not but she does have a point. Speaking as another Jewish person, someone who has studied their history and the Holocaust, we know that the use of hypnotized in this context is suspect and should never have been said. I'm not sure if Ilhan Omar is actively anti-Semitic, she does have a history of saying things that suggest it. The right wing hypocrisy notwithstanding it's important to acknowledge that there are serious issues with the things that Omar has said. Maybe it was a coincidence that she used a term that mirrors things used against Jews at the time of the Holocaust, but in the absence of anything additional I'm not going to give her the benefit of the doubt. I am going to reserve judgment while fighting my instinct to find her distasteful. She said some things that by any reasonable standard were objectionable and potentially dangerous, and these were the things for public consumption. Like you, I support Israel although not the right wing government. Anti-Semitism is on the rise for that reason it's important to be very careful, there are plenty of people who confuse Jew and Israeli and are happy to have an excuse to exercise their not so latent anti-semitism. I would really like it if the other folks who present this with Sam would stop the background cackling. You want to make fun of people who are ridiculous, that's one thing but the background laughter makes you seem like a bunch of teens snickering at someone. It's unappealing and distasteful. Overt mockery should be used sparingly.

  801. I can't agree with this enough. I've noted on several occasions that Ana says "you know" many times and engages in other fillers that weaken her delivery tremendously.

  802. Please get rid of Michael Brooks. Let him have his own show and do his own thing but please don't have him heading up segments here.

  804. I understand why this is so funny but it's deeply terrifying. Both parties have neglected education, we now have a population that lacks critical thinking to an unprecedented extent. That these people believe right-wing propaganda even in the presence of so much proof to the contrary is a deeper problem than the pandemic for the long term. How do we move forward as a country? I'm going to sleep, this is too depressing to think about.

  806. Wait what? Did Brooks just say that Jewish girls are whiny and that it's true, and that's okay? I was watching Sam's face and he didn't seem too comfortable with that. This is what we mean when anti-Semitism is discussed, the latent form of it seems to live in pretty much everyone and it doesn't take much to have it come out. A similar joke about a different group would never fly, you could never make a joke about some alleged negative quality that black or Arab or Hispanic women are supposed to have. I find this guy so very distasteful. I'm glad he has his own show now maybe he will show up here less. He adds nothing and detracts significantly from the show.

  808. No, companies are not doing their job. Attorney here, under our current law a company has one responsibility, one job, to make money for its shareholders. It does not have a fiduciary responsibility to the people it sells its products to. That is something we have to address with better laws. Companies should have a responsibility to the people who buy their products. Companies should have a responsibility to sell products that are not damaging. This should not be up for debate. The idea that the company is doing its job by selling Coca-Cola is ridiculous. There is nothing useful or healthy or beneficial about Coca-Cola. Excusing the company by saying that they're doing their job by marketing is patently false and damaging. The interviewer said that he appreciated the nuanced answer of looking at it from both sides. That is exactly the problem. There are issues where both sides are not valid. That's like saying, well on one side of the argument we have the idea that people should be free and on the other side we have the idea that slavery is useful and beneficial. Let's look at both sides. No, let's not because both sides are not valid. This both sides-ism is something has to stop because it creates false validity for things that are not valid at all.

  810. Carnivore diet. If you can't wrap your mind around that then at least get rid of all processed foods, grain and seed oils, those are all the oils sold in the supermarket that our marketed as heart healthy vegetable oils. They aren't heart healthy and they aren't vegetable oils. Please, please do some research into the carnivore diet or a meat-based diet. You might want to read Change your Diet, Change your Mind by Dr Georgia Ede. That is a really good place to start, I don't mean that you haven't started it sounds like you are far along the path of figuring things out and doing well. But for a variety of reasons, diet isn't emphasized and it should be. Our diet is the one factor that has a tremendous effect on our lives, how we feel emotionally, psychologically and our physical health and well-being. I'm happy to share any information. Books, videos, lectures and articles on PubMed, there is so much information out there. I hope you continue to do well. Life can be very difficult, most of us here know that. Feel very good about yourself for making progress in the right direction.

  811.  @Burning_Babylon  The US government has put a terrorism advisory out as a result of the increased acts of violence to Jewish people. Did you know that? Denying that the Holocaust happened and blaming Jewish people for all of the societal ills the way Kanye does, the way Nick Fuentes does, gets people killed. I think you should think about this a little more deeply.

  812.  @dontaylor7315  My response was more nuanced than that. The point was this - we don't know what was happening in that situation. We do know, or should know, that the job of a police officer is fraught with risk and stress. If an officer says "please stand back" I will probably do it - am I within my legal rights to not stand back? Yes. Am I making the officer feel an additional degree of stress? Possibly. Why would you want to do that? To make the point that you HAVE the legal right to do as you wish? Sure, but why? If we operate from the perspective of the "Police are always bad" (and I don't) then it make sense. If we want to give the officer the benefit of the doubt, then why argue when the request was simply to stand further back? If the officer lied and displayed bad faith, then he should be fired. There is no argument about that.

  813.  Charlie Cross  It's less a question of dangerous and more a question of stressful. Would you argue that being a police officer isn't among the more stressful occupations? The responses to my comment are interesting. My post attempted to consider both sides - the issue here is that a lot of the other responses come from "the police are bad!" and mine did not. I don't know what the officer's state of mind was - I know that he asked the guy to stand back further. Was he right to lie? Of course not.

  817. Just stop it. Just stop calling them disgusting time and time again, you know what you're doing, you have to be aware that it is a dog whistle for your supporters. You show a grossly overweight unappealing white woman, and older white man and you call them disgusting, you talk about destroying them, you incite anger and rage. I hear you carefully walking it back, I hear you saying on a political and power level after you have said destroy them and destroy them and destroy them and they are disgusting, you know what you're doing and it is as bad as what they are doing. They are ignorant, they are afraid, and they are terribly uneducated. What is your excuse for inciting rage against them? What is your excuse for the pious self-satisfied virtue that you are displaying? Let's be very clear, I am 100% on our side politically, but this display is abhorrent as theirs is. It's very easy to incite rage by showing an obese person eating in a diner and not showing sympathy for undocumented immigrants. If you have to garner support by mocking someone and tearing them down viciously by referring time and time again to their appearance, then you lack substance and decency. Attack their positions, not their persons. When you do this you turn people off and if you don't, if the people you are throwing red meat to enjoy it, don't you understand how easily they can be turned? Inciting rage and hatred is never the better way forward. You are so steeped in self-satisfied rage and what you believe to be justified hatred that you don't see these people as human. If you hate them so much how are you different from Trump and his ilk? Dehumanizing people is always going to be a first step towards violence. You've taken this much too far and you are absolutely in the wrong for doing so.

This is a valid point you're making but I don't think it applies to this video. I stand by what I said, Jonathan comes across us out of touch and his analogy could have been better made. Right now we are in a time of postpandemic, grocery prices are very high and people are struggling. Making an analogy that was slightly less upper middle class would have been advisable. You have no idea what culturally defines me, you might be surprised if I were to share that information. The point related to the intended audience for this video and how Jonathan comes across. Particularly now, with people struggling for food on the table.

  820.  @L4LTVuk  I think you're one of the people you are calling out. You see it frequently, someone criticizes others for the exact thing they are doing. The point made is correct. Many people are struggling, making an analogy that is quite so starkly upper class when the video is intended for a wider audience was ill advised. You are bending over backwards to criticize people for making an apt point. Pointing out problems that are easily fixed is not quibbling. Your perspective is odd, it seems that in the guise of defending the video you are looking for people to argue with. Please stop, it's tedious and irritating.

  821.  @L4LTVuk  No, you're tedious because you understand the points being made and you are willfully ignoring them in order to have something to argue about.

Trump doesn't have any policies that will help the average person. The Democrats made a lot of mistakes. It's a complicated issue that you are trying to make simple because that makes you feel better.

  827. @nathansawyers6102  a teenage girl died in Texas last week. She was pregnant with a dying fetus, she went to three emergency rooms and was not able to get care because they were afraid of lawsuits. She is the third teenager to have died as a result of the new laws on abortion. Project 2025 is draconian. In the case of rape or incest or in a child under the age of 16, the option to end a pregnancy should be a given (I think that limitations on abortion are fine but it's not okay to let a teenager die). Some states have no such exemptions, a 14-year-old who has been raped or the victim of incest can be forced to carry the pregnancy. With regard to Media bias, it exists on both sides. The average American no longer gets their news from the New York Times or CNN, they get it instead from other platforms that tend to skew to the right. When he says tackling media bias he means leftist bias. He's happy to have bias that works in his favor. The Democratic party has not spoken to the average American. Parents don't want their children to be indoctrinated, why would they have to say what their pronouns are? That grates on most people. Brianna is trans and she thinks it's wrong also. Kamala talked about the federal government paying for transition surgery for trans prisoners, people who have committed crimes. Why would she talk about that? In fact the federal government has not paid for a single transition surgery, why make that something you talk about instead of the very real concerns people have? She should have instead talked about what her administration was going to do to lower the price of groceries, housing, gas, to address some of the issues people care about. She didn't do that. It's also true that Trump didn't do that but it would be silly to claim that they are judged by the same standard. She's black and a woman and like it or not that is a factor. At the best of times that would have been difficult for her to overcome and this was not the best of times. He had a lot of influence in his favor: "It’s not just one type of talkative bro who has boosted Trump and made him more palatable to the average American. Trump has steadily assembled a crew of extremely influential and successful men who are loyal to him. Carlson is the preppy debate-club bro. Rogan is the stoner bro. Elon Musk is the tech bro. Bill Ackman is the finance bro. Jason Aldean is the country-music bro. Harrison Butker is the NFL bro. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the crunchy-conspiracist bro. Hulk Hogan is the throwback entertainer bro. Kid Rock is the “American Bad Ass” bro. And that’s hardly an exhaustive list. Each of these bros brings his own bro-y fandom to the MAGA movement and helps, in his own way, to legitimize Trump and whitewash his misdeeds." That's from the Atlantic, I've been citing it because I think it's accurate. They have helped whitewash a lot of his misdeeds and the fact that people disliked her messaging so much that they were willing to overlook the things that he has said and done.

  828. @nathansawyers6102  of course it's a double standard, we don't judge people the same way. Prejudices are deep-seated and almost impossible to root out. It's not a question of an objective standard. Please don't pretend otherwise. We are human, we are all of us subject to prejudices and beliefs. Even when we try not to, we are still subject to them. A very large number of people love Trump because he is offensive and coarse. Those same voters would never vote for Kamala Harris even if she said exactly the same things. We are raised in a society that has prejudices, we have to accept that and do our best to rise above it but failing to acknowledge it doesn't help anyone. Does that mean that a black woman is unelectable? I don't know the answer to that question. She wasn't the right choice, I don't know if somebody else might be.

  832.  @OlivetheDoge  Don't give up on that. Try to find the right counselor or therapist. It can be really difficult to talk to a therapist if that person isn't right for you. There are situations where we are still avoiding things and we might think the therapist isn't right for us because they're pushing us to talk, but there are also situations where the therapist just isn't a good match. It takes wisdom and honesty to figure out which is the case. I worked with a wonderful therapist for seven or eight years and he did a lot to help me work through a lot of pain and harm. I've also worked with a therapist who wasn't quite right for me and I got some benefit out of it (including getting better at working with people I don't have chemistry with, and that's an important life skill) but not nearly the same as when it was a good fit. Please don't give up. When a therapist is not the right fit, it's fine to acknowledge that and amicably end the relationship. But keep trying because the right therapist, someone who really gets you, can make a tremendous difference. I'm not saying you can't get there on your own, but the right help can make the journey easier and faster.

  834.  @michaelmalech5742  I'm so sorry but I disagree about Jordan Peterson. This is a longer conversation but Peterson does a great deal of harm. His self-help material in it's own is basic and there's nothing wrong with it but he feeds into the alt-right, and has become their hero. He plays on that intentionally. There are elements of grift. There is so much more to be said on this topic. I understand why he can seem attractive. He presents as the paternalistic figure that many people have not had. As I said, some of the elements of his basic self-help are fine, but he is not the wise figure he portrays himself to be. His psychology is flawed and his worldview is extremely traditional to the point of caricature. He'll say he believes in equality between the sexes but he does not. And there's more. There are better people to recommend than Jordan Peterson but if he helps you, Baruch haba and I'm glad you found someone who speaks to you. I would not want to take away support from anyone It's just that there are better people to recommend. I hope this has not been too harshly stated.

I don't. I just want a robust social safety net, healthcare for all and genuine equality of opportunity. No one should go hungry or go without shelter even if they make "poor life choices." No working person should need food stamps; a living wage should be the starting place for negotiation. Why is this hard for people to accept? I don't understand and I feel sad and frustrated.

  837. Why would you have somebody talk about honesty in the context of sleeping around on the person they are dating? Do you feel it's admirable? It isn't. Race is not relevant in this situation, the vast majority of women do not want a man who feels the need to sleep around. It isn't regarded as attractive or appealing. The person you were interviewing talked about how women get into that and they appreciate the honesty and they call you the next week. Which women are these? I'm confused as to why you would present that as something in any way positive or admirable.

They demonstrated in favor of equal rights for gay people and marginalized groups. The boomers were the hippies, the Grateful Dead. Sex, drugs and rock and roll, that was the boomers. Did some lose their way? Yes, some did. As people get older they frequently skew more conservative out of fear. But look at a Trump rally and you'll see half of the people there are under the age of 30. Stupidity and hatred are not generation specific.

  840. David, there are no good faith objections to Medicare for all. Healthcare should be a human right. You live in Canada and you get it. This video was very difficult to listen to because you spent half of it making unnecessary prefaces. Please don't do that it's tedious to listen to. There is no reason our costs should not go down to the levels of other countries. It is a logical given that once you take corporate profits out of the equation costs will go down. Life expectancy will go up. Childhood mortality will go down. Why aren't you factoring these costs into your equation? Please stop pushing your Twitter and other platforms. Most of the people watching these videos do not care and do not want to be constantly told to go join another platform. This would do a lot to reduce the irritation level. I'm sorry if this is harsh but the requests add up to a lot of time wasted.

  841. ​ @Clownlife432 You do realize that for many young black boys sports and specifically football is often the only way out? Sure, they are susceptible to societal pressures and they aren't immune from buying into the idea that sports equals glory but if you don't have a good school or mentors sports will frequently be the only path out. I didn't see that noted in your comment.

  842. ​​ LadieKatie they're not forced to participate? You do realize that for many impoverished minorities there is no other way out? You can talk about music and other sports and science and education but if those things aren't available, what are they supposed to do? No, they're not forced to participate but if they want a way out frequently that is the only one available. Where is acknowledgment of that awful truth in your comment? Nowhere because you don't seem to care much.

  844.  @hawoaliahmed6996  I'm not surprised that you think that. What field are you claiming for him exactly? The field of alt-right gateway? The field of suppression of women? Do I gather anything about you based on your name? If I do that then it would make clear to me why you would be a Peterson apologist or supporter. Do you believe that when a woman wears makeup in the workplace that she is soliciting for asking for sexual harassment? Are you pretending to be unaware that he is a gateway to the alt right?

  845. The term Influencer should never be used unironically. These people who "influence" are frequently credulous, susceptible to persuasion and not smart about what they believe. They don't spend the time to understand the issues and do a lot of harm by promoting conspiracy theories to their equally susceptible followers.

  846. Earl T. Roske I agree with you. I also like Cenk but would prefer that he tone down the buffoonery. I think the idea is that the schtick is funny or relatable but it is cringe-inducing and causes me to stop watching. With respect to Ana she has interesting things to say that but I dearly wish she would address the verbal tics: she says "you know" in virtually every sentence and is fond of saying "I feel like" when she means "I think that..." Both weaken her presentation.. I think she would be a much stronger voice were she to work on these things.

  847.  @orangepekoe8292  https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/02/week-headlines-tell-story-anti-semitism/583393/ Read that. Then come back to me. Antisemitism is a real issue in the US - the so called progressive who speak so stridently with pious concern for the arabs are full of it. I've acknowledged that there are issues Israel should attend to, and I've said that I don't support the right wing there but -- look, please look - at the comments here. There is a lot of "fuck the jews" "let Israel die" and similar statements redolent of ugly antisemitism dressed as concern for others. No. I lived in Israel for several years. I grew up with people who had numbers on their arms. This cannot be and will not be tolerated. I know what the arabs are like, I don't doubt that there are some who want peace but the majority hate the Jews and want to push them into the sea. Ilhan Omar? "The jews are hypnotising us with their money!" Yet another and another old trope about the jews and their evil money. I don't mix anything up - I'm quite clear on the issues. How honest are the rest of the folks here? Are they so very passionate about the well being of people in other places? No, they're not. What is it, I wonder, that makes them so vehement in this situation? Why all the heat and rage and hatred? Acknowledge this and then we can talk.

  848.  @magnanimousknight1162  No, it is not more permissible. There is no point to continuing this discussion, you will twist and turn every possible way to find ilhan Omar's comments acceptable. You don't acknowledge anything that I'm saying, you want it to be okay to be hateful and anti-semetic and it is not. The hypnotizing Jews with their money trope is an old established piece of anti-semitism. If you are not willing at the barest minimum to acknowledge that then there is no common ground here. I try to find common ground with people whose views I disagree with, with people whose background and education may not be extensive. However, in a case like this where you are an apologist for it, there is no place for a continued conversation. People on your side of this issue want to feel good about themselves for defending the Palestinians while having a nice soak in anti-Semitism. Neither you nor anyone else has addressed the issues and I don't know if you even realize it, you're so hyped up on feeling good about yourself that you're not paying attention to the issues at hand and it doesn't matter how many times I try to point this out you won't see it. Ask yourself why you and the others on your side of this issue are so very concerned about Palestinians but not concerned nearly so much about the more urgent issues happening in other countries? Ask yourself that, sit with yourself and answer that question. You don't have to answer me I just want you to sit with yourself. "Why am I so rabid on the issue of Israel, why am I and others like me here in the comments, so hateful about Israel why do I use the ugliest language in regard to Israel?" It's an interesting form of denial that no one answers the question but instead say things like what are we not allowed to criticize Israel? Oh, you are absolutely allowed to criticize Israel, the interesting part of this is that there aren't BDS movements aimed at the other places, there isn't a lot of hate speech aimed at those places either. Do you have the intellectual honesty necessary to acknowledge this? There are outright Holocaust deniers among those on your side of this issue. Look through the comments, look at the venom and hate and anti-Semitism that runs rampant. Ilhan Omar is anti-Semitic. She might not even be aware of it, she might be telling herself that she's only advocating for the Palestinians when she says any one of a number of things that revive ugly old tropes. I don't doubt that you think you are acting honestly either, the problem is anti-Semitism like racism is a deeply rooted problem and very hard to root out. It's a disease passed on from parent to child and every now and then if flourishes as it is now. Is Israel right in all of its actions? No, of course not. Is the BDS movement clean of anti-Semitism? No, absolutely not. Are the people advocating for the rights of Palestinians clean in their motivations? More of a complex answer, some of them are, most of them are not. Are the people who talk about how evil Israel is and how the Jews are doing this and that, do they protest countries where you can be shot for being gay, or reporters can be chopped up, where women have to exist under the most brutal of conditions? No, actually most of them do not protest those places. It's an interesting thing that Israel is the single-minded target of their focus. You can pay attention to what I'm saying and ask yourself some difficult questions or you can reflexively refute. These kinds of conversations are rarely helpful because people do not listen and after reading all of the hatred in the comments above, I don't feel hopeful.

Making painful deaths into humorous content for the vicarious enjoyment of people like you is a net negative. It does nothing to benefit anyone and does a lot to harm.

  854.  @ellisjames7192  I don't think that's a fair response. There are plenty of people who voted for Obama who then voted for Trump because they felt that the Democratic party wasn't responsive to their needs. People like Biden are the reason we got Trump. I understand his frustration and I don't want to vote for Biden either. What is the incentive for the Democratic party to really change if every time we are faced with an evil and a lesser evil we obey and vote for the lesser evil? Why would the Democratic party ever move further left if they know we can be relied upon to do the right thing? How do we get those voters who voted for Trump after Obama, how do we get them back if the best we can offer is someone who won't change anything? And even so, after all of that, after everything I just said I will vote for Biden if he is the nominee because I think that in this case, this year, the circumstances are unique. I wanted Bernie Sanders to be our nominee. I very much wanted Sanders to be president. I would have voted for Warren happily, she is in my view the most qualified from many standpoints. It would be very bad for the country if the Republicans were able to pick the next Justice. A second term of Donald Trump will be disastrous for our country and the world. He has already done so much harm on so many different fronts that it would take hours to detail all of them. We can negotiate some of the things that are needed in exchange for our support of Biden. It isn't what I wanted but if it prevents more harm and saves lives we have to do it. Not me, us.

  855. Sure, but that's not the point. Pelosi is speaker of the House. She has generally exhibited excellent political instincts, otherwise she wouldn't have the career that she has. Showing yourself in your expensive home displaying hundreds of dollars worth of luxury treats and chuckling about how much you love ice cream and how much of it you have at a time when tens of millions of people are out of work and facing hunger is politically bad. This isn't about other people, it's about Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House, having made a political misstep that has given Trump a lot of ammunition.

  858. What is with the click bait title? Why would you do this "ARE WE DESTINED FOR FAILURE" thing? It's over the top and it makes me not want to subscribe. Pretty much everyone who uses twitch and Amazon prime knows about the need to re-subscribe each month. It's not a big deal and given the number of times you ask people to subscribe and like and how hard you push it won't be a big deal for you to remind people. You're painting it as though you're being singled out and you're not. I understand that clickbait is common but this hurts my desire to support you. As a general matter you push hard, more so than any other channel I'm familiar with. I try to give you a pass because you believe that YouTube disadvantages you in comparison to more mainstream channels and you may be right although I have not seen evidence of it in my own subscriptions. But this is excessive. Why would you post a video with this kind of title? Why would you suggest in any way that you might be "destined for failure" because of a practice that also affects every single other channel? If you're going to be destined for failure it's unfortunately more likely to result from this kind of video than from anything else.

  859. The extremes on both sides are wrong. You don't want to be hired because you tick boxes, you should not be hired because you are black or because you are Jewish or because you are female. You should be hired on merit. DEI started from a place of good intentions. There has been racism historically, minorities have not had the same opportunities but it has turned into a cult where you are judged as good or bad based on whether you belong to a perceived oppressor or oppressed class. There are 15.2 million Jews in the world and almost 2 billion Muslims. The idea that Jews are white in Israel and oppressors is factually inaccurate. 2/3 of the Jews living in Israel come from Arab countries, they are mizrachi or Sephardic Jews. How can you belong to the oppressor class when you are outnumbered 120 to 1? This is so much more complex than most are currently able to see. I do not love Elise Stefanik. Listening to Donald Trump makes me feel like I am losing IQ points but the fact that Ms Stefanik came at the issue with motives that were not entirely well intentioned doesn't change the fact that she was right.

  860. This is the kind of video that loses TYT the moderate left viewership. Advocating hate and violence is never right. As a society we need a police force. The right thing to do is to address the issues that plague the police departments as a whole. Why are so many unfit people hired? How do they get past the psychological test meant to screen them out? How do we ensure that people hired to perform this job do it with care, caution and respect for human life, all human life regardless of race or religion? This is a wider societal issue, not something to be resolved by getting rid of police or inciting hatred and more violence.

  862.  @frederickthompson1546  I understand where you're coming from and I do not disagree with any of it. The person making the original comment was talking about ford so I addressed that specific company. Where I grew up there were people with numbers on their arms, all or virtually all are dead now but for me being faced with a company that was started by an avowed anti-semite is reason enough for me to not purchase anything that company makes. With respect to the other things you made good points. It is a difficult line to walk between doing enough and at the same time living in society. Using a bank is a necessity. It is almost impossible to pay your bills, manage your car insurance, mortgage or rent, health insurance payments and everything else that makes up a modern life without using a bank. Each of us has an ethical and moral responsibility to try to make decisions that will have a positive effect on the world and the people around us without in the process hampering ourselves so much that we lose effectiveness. And each person's circumstances are different. Our age, gender, background, area that we live in, profession, health status, education and more have an effect on the decisions we make. I don't know if I'm doing enough personally right now it is something that I think a lot about and evaluate often.

  863. If you have type 2 diabetes addressing the root cause would be better. A ketogenic or better yet a carnivore diet would do that for you. If you have type 1 diabetes that is different. But type 2 diabetes in almost every case, there are a few exceptions, is the result of what we eat.

  864. Well said. Unfortunately that reference is going to go over the heads of lots of people reading here. We have a problem when even those on our side respond with "f that b**ch" instead of understanding why it's wrong for Pelosi to display her wealth at this time. A further difficulty is the unfairness in the standards applied. If it were Trump almost all of his base we give him a pass. This country has a special hatred for women in power or seeking it.

How sick and disgusting is that kind of thinking, anti-semitic ugliness in you.

  867. And another really ridiculous clickbait title. This guy was not under a lot of Trump delusions and they weren't destroyed in all caps. he was a middle-of-the-road person and some clarifications were made for him that hopefully were helpful to him. The clickbait has to stop because all it does is make me not want to subscribe and not watch any more videos. I'm sure it does the same for others.

  870.  @TheGreatPinkPillow27  I agree. She is a disingenuous hypocrite. She makes a living by saying exactly what they want her to say and she is bright enough to know that the things she is saying are wrong and damaging. It is depressing and demoralizing though for me to see myself called a "cuckservatard" because I object to the misogynistic ugliness. I probably dislike her a lot more than you do. But the fact that I dislike her or even find her abhorrent doesn't mean that it is open season and that the rules no longer apply. Women as a whole are damaged by that. When guys make "jokes" about attractive women whoring themselves out in a 7/11 that perpetuates a damaging world view, we don't make jokes about men doing that. That's the point. Misogyny hurts men as much as it hurts women. Absolutely point out that she has never held a real job, that she has been fired from every job she has ever had other than Fox, that she knowingly says things that are not true, that she does a lot of harm in the world when the things she says are heard and believed by credulous people.

  871.  @ericspencer8093  I don't disagree with any of this. Please don't confuse my objection to saying that she whores herself out in the back of 7/11s with anything else. I don't want to repeat everything I just finished typing to someone else, if you could take a look it applies to what you said also. I probably find her more detestable than you do. The objection was to the misogynistic nature of what the guy said.

  872.  @TheGreatPinkPillow27  I was only jumping at you because of the last part of what you said. I probably dislike her more than you do. I've written a lot of things in the replies to this and I agree with pretty much everything that has been pointed out and I've added some to it. I could have written my first response better, I apologize for the degree of heat in it. It's just that it is very difficult to keep seeing the impulse of people to go beyond all of the valid things to sexism and misogyny. It damages all of us.

  873.  @aeircrown7994  I'm sorry, but I have limited patience right now. If you need me to explain to you why artificial colors, artificial flavors, hydrogenated fats and other unhealthy additives in boxed cake mix are bad for you then there's not a lot I can do or say to help you. Please do your own independent research. Your health and the health of people you cook for is at risk. Spend less time arguing with people on YouTube, spend less time trying to be clever and more time taking care of yourself. No one suggested that salt is an unhealthy additive. I specifically referred to artificial flavors, artificial colors, hydrogenated fats. Moreover there is a great deal of research on the topic. Foods are healthiest when they are less processed and before you go off on a tangent talking about how everything is processed, you know what I'm saying here. Something you make in your home is generally speaking going to be healthier than something that was manufactured at a factory and packaged with a shelf life of several years due to the artificial preservatives, flavors, the hydrogenated nature of the fats in the food. Generally I try to be courteous even here on YouTube. I lose that patience in the face of a comment that is disingenuous and an attack. My comment was clear, you understood it and you are attacking anyway. What do you gain from that? I am not telling you not to eat boxed cake mix if you really want to. I wouldn't eat it and I've explained to you that it's unhealthy but I can't force you neither would I try to. You are free to make your own choices. It isn't fear if it's accurate. Hydrogenated fats are unhealthy. In the US we have an epidemic of colon cancer in people under the age of 50. Cancer in general, other diseases such as obesity, run rampant. These cancers are specifically traced to the burden we put on our bodies in terms of what we eat and expose ourselves to. Colon cancer is directly attributable to the foods we eat. I don't want you to be afraid. I want you and everyone else to be as healthy as you can be. A Twinkie is not a healthy item to eat. If you make a cake at home it's not going to be health food, no one is suggesting that to be the case. But if you really want something sweet, the cake you make in your own home from ingredients that are as good as you can get, is going to be better for you than the one you make from a box mix. It will be less of a burden to your body in terms of additives, artificial colors, artificial flavors, hydrogenated fats, and several other additives that have been shown to be detrimental to our health.

  874.  @aeircrown7994  Please take this elsewhere. You're on some kind of crusade and I'm not interested in it. nowhere did I say that the word artificial was a stand-in for everything bad. I referred specifically to artificial colors, artificial flavors, hydrogenated fats. This is the last time I will respond to you because I think you are being disingenuous. Spend your energy more effectively by educating yourself using reliable sources. That means don't read or believe something is sponsored by any entity seeking to make money. Use your brain, and also try to avoid attacking people when you know what they are saying is correct. I'm not sure what you get out of this, I'd hazard a guess that you don't get much but you must have some reason for it. You are going to be muted henceforth. Best wishes. One additional point. The FDA's imprimatur means very little. Do your own independent research. Attack others less. Take care of yourself. Be less susceptible to the voice of authority unless you are certain that voice is correct.

  883.  @nfspbarrister5681  Don't condescend. You don't know anything about me. Not my age nor my reasons for going to law school. I was an ALJ in NYS and I've been in private practice briefly. After the pandemic I'll find something that will let me work on the issues that matter. Health care. A minimum wage that makes sense. The end stages of unallayed capitalism, the concentration of wealth into fewer and fewer hands, has led us to a dark place. Neither party prioritized education because a malleable population without critical thinking skills is easier to manipulate into believing whatever you want them to believe. We are seeing the fruits of that now. I have more to say but I'm recovering from minor surgery and I'm tired and hurting. Trust me when I tell you though that selling my soul for lots of money won't happen.

  885.  @nfspbarrister5681  You decided to make a comment in my direction. You got very defensive when I said that I wouldn't sell my soul. First, you assumed that I must be a recent graduate because the comment struck you as naive. I attempted to explain my background, even though I was under no obligation to do so. Apparently there was a typo in my response that you seized upon in order to issue this attack. I'm going to assume that you are this defensive because you have engaged in exactly the behavior that I will not and therefore need to believe that everyone else will do the same. You don't know anything about me but you're attempting to insult me on the basis of a typo. This tells me a lot about you and your approach. This conversation has reached its terminus. For the record I have been in practice for over 20 years. I graduated law school young and was the youngest ALJ in my state at that time. As a last point, I'm going to assume that there is an issue of language here. I don't believe English to be your first language based on your usage. Given that, it is increasingly odd that you would choose to attack me for mine.

  893. I just heard Sam's co-presenter say that if the virus kills people in red states, she referred to it as the "chud belt" it would be a silver lining. I had to play it a couple of times to be sure I'd heard correctly. I'm not protesting this to be morally or ethically clean. I'm bringing it up because a human being doesn't view the potential deaths of millions of people as a benefit under any circumstances. I understand the anger even the rage because I frequently feel it too but the vast majority of people living there are ignorant not actively evil. Wishing them dead or making jokes contemplating their deaths with a kind of macabre relish is ugly and makes us darker. Don't make jokes like that. It's not funny or edgy and it hands ammunition to people on the right that we do not need to give them. Worse it makes me wonder about my place on the left. Do we really consider the potential deaths of uneducated, ignorant people as a silver lining? When I think about that I feel anger and sorrow. No matter how much we disagree with the majority of people in those states, they are human beings. They have children, families, loved ones, hopes and dreams. They've been poorly served by the educational system in this country. There are reasons for the way they think and those reasons are what we should fight. When I'm confronted with a Trump supporter stomping and spewing hatred, I lack patience and get angry but I would not make a joke, at least I hope it was a joke, that their potential deaths to this pandemic would be a silver lining.

  894.  @johndough6982  No one is poor or homeless by choice. A lot goes into making a person do what they do. Having a vice does not equate to choosing to be homeless. I think you may be misunderstanding on purpose. You don't know the backstory of every person in that shelter. You don't know what happened to them, what caused them to take up what you would call a vice. A healthy, happy, well adjusted person doesn't make a decision to start injecting heroin. People are resilient, by the time someone is homeless they have frequently been beaten down by life to the point that they give up.

  895.  @johndough6982  I disagree. People make poor choices everyday. The issue is when you don't have money or a support system to bail you out. I'm not going to demonize a veteran with PTSD If they turn to alcohol and become an alcoholic because the system didn't offer them enough support. That's a systemic problem. People are different, some are stronger and more resilient. Your perspective, that only the strongest and most resilient, those who make the best choices deserve help is wrong. It is bereft of compassion and any understanding of human nature.

  896. I'm not a fan of you mocking so-called lefties. Lefties like Bernie Sanders would be the answer to so much that is messed up here. The same insulin from the same factory costs nine times more here than it does in Canada. A cancer drug that is lifesaving costs 50 times more here than it does outside of the country. Corporations and profit rule this country and unallayed capitalism is in fact a death spiral. Why? Because wealth concentrates in an ever fewer number of hands. This means no middle class. It also means that people are far more susceptible to the manipulation of politicians. The whole Trump movement, Qanon, all of this stems from the belief of people who are being squeezed that progress is a zero-sum game. That if minorities and women are making advances, that it will come at the expense of the working class, modestly educated white man. And unfortunately under the system as it exists right now, they're not entirely wrong. There is no justification for one person to have 50 billion dollars. No one earns that money. The people who earn that money are those who are being paid a minimum wage so low that they are eligible for food stamps. The loud left that you are scolding by implication? In any other country these lefties would be considered extremely moderate centrists. Get your act together please, videos like this have a certain influence and that influence should be used to educate. Not indoctrinate.

  897. The problem is that many of the people who work in this industry are not interested or can't transition to something else without a lot of training and help. It's like truck drivers, many are older and are not likely to be able to transition to jobs writing code for example. It's easy to say let's find alternatives, get people different jobs, but it's more than a job, It's their identity. I agree that this is the solution but it will take more than transitioning or offering alternate jobs. A person who works as a coal miner or a truck driver probably does not have a lot of formal education. There are exceptions but this is typically the case. If you want to transition them to a different job it has to be a job that will work for them and offer them same sense of competence that they have in their current work. You can't easily transition a coal miner to a retail job and probably not to an office job either. You also have to take into account that these are people who are used to a certain way of living. If you take them out of what they are used to you risk problems adapting to a different life, depression, alcohol, drugs etc. I'm not saying that no one can adapt, some will be able to but many will struggle. Even if you offer lots of help, even if you can get funding for it, you are putting people in the position of needing help and that is difficult for many men to handle. I say men because typically these jobs are held by men although some women do them also. It is difficult to get people to think this through and conclude that their personal happiness is worth sacrificing for the greater good. It would be much easier if our society in general cared more and did more for people. If we genuinely cared about people's well-being, if we provided health care, education, fair wages people would be more easily persuaded to make this kind of change.

  898. I am a progressive. I have problems getting behind the idea of safe supervised injection facilities though. I think that that it is a bridge too far, if somebody could explain, without condescension, why we want to do something like this, I'd appreciate it. I would prefer to spend the money in other ways, preventing people from injecting drugs rather than assisting hem to do so by providing a facility where they can do it with a nurse's supervision. This is not the same as a needle exchange, I am for that. I don't want people to spread disease and I understand that while in the throes of addiction, a person will use drugs. But there seems to be a difference in kind to me between needle exchange and an actual facility with people supervising and showing people how to use drugs properly.

  899. There are societies where people eat a primarily carbohydrate diet. Carbohydrates aren't the enemy, processed carbohydrates, processed food, added sugars and pro-inflammatory seed oils are. I maintain a largely ketogenic diet because that works for me and I have to address years of eating too many carbs. But when we say that carbs are the enemy, carbs are bad, protein and fat are good that makes a great narrative but it isn't entirely accurate. Gary would strengthen his position if he were to acknowledge this.

  900.  @ianallardyce4222  I found the guy hosting, the moderator, to be condescending. I don't know if it's because I have not seen him before but he kept making these little digs at James. It wasn't only the aficionado comment, he treated James as though he were some kind of cutesy fan of coffee rather than a professional who has spent years gaining his expertise. I know James Hoffman doesn't need me to defend him, but I had that impulse.

  903.  Barbara Mulvaney  Hi Barbara, thank you for your thoughtful response. I don't know what Whoopi Goldberg's life has been like, I haven't read a lot about her earlier life. I know that she was in a lot of movies where she played an atypical role, not meeting Hollywood standards of beauty or appropriate personality for a woman. These were the qualities that I appreciated about her. She has also said some things that are inappropriate and factually wrong. I wanted to cut her a bit of a break in recognition of the difficulties she had to have faced and for the fact that even wrong she has tried. But your points are well made. Politically I fall to the left but I also recognize the need for us to try to work together with those who are closer to our side and in so doing possibly bring them further along. If we reject everyone who does not conform entirely to our beliefs we limit our pool of potential friends and supporters. I know that my views, politics, and the way I look at the world has changed significantly over the past 10 years. I want to believe that at least some of those who aren't entirely on our side can be persuaded as time goes on, and as they learn more. If we alienate people by being too rigid that is less likely to happen.

  905. Could someone please tell Ana to stop using the expression "keeping it real" that she overuses tremendously? That and the verbal tic "uh" that gets repeated sometimes twice in a sentence.

  908.  @Krill_all_health_insuranceCEOs  was this the reply you were referring to? I did see it. I don't disagree. I would probably have worded it differently but I don't disagree with the underlying thought. The thing you sometimes find on leftist channels is a lot of hatred and rage that doesn't differentiate between people who deserve it and those who do not. There is a hatred of all things police and all things government that is not warranted. All police are not bad. Imagine how you would feel if you were a police officer, if you did your utmost everyday to protect your community, to avoid using violence, to treat people with fairness and decency and you came across this video. What would happen when you read the comments and see all the hatred and rage and disgust heaped upon you by people you protect, how would you feel? I'm not a police officer, I'm an attorney. I have encountered bad police and I have also had the privilege of working with some who are genuinely good and decent public servants. I can take either side of this argument, if a video were made glorifying the police I would be there pointing out that reform is necessary. When I encounter rage and hatred against the police with no one pushing back however mildly, I feel it necessary to provide that balance.
    1
  909.  @jeremysmith4620  I think there might be some confusion here. I am an attorney but not one of the first people you responded to. Perhaps you might go back and reread my comment in case you are confusing it with someone else. This is going to be a somewhat lengthy comment and there may be parts you don't like. I think if you read it with an open mind and get to the end you'll find that we are on the same page. Here goes. I take exception to the scolding tone of your response. You wrote a lengthy comment explaining why, from your perspective, the prison system is bad. Nowhere in that comment did you provide any detail as to why you were in prison. How people react in a prison environment to being asked about their crimes is not a valid response. No one is casually insinuating anything, you are borderline threatening me and that is unacceptable. I would dial it back. You are making assumptions that are unwarranted. Instead of approaching it the way you did you might have asked why and avoided assuming bad intent. I asked the question because the omission was glaring. You didn't have to provide the specifics but some indication as to whether the crime was one of violence or property would have been useful. Do you see why? Human nature, we default to the worst case scenario in the absence of information. There were some in the comments who were blunt, those who assumed that you did commit a crime of violence and others who said things along the lines of "Don't do the crime if you don't want to do the time." I was not one of those. When we provide information up front we take ammunition away from those who would use its absence against us. We avoid doubt. Your position would have been stronger if you had said "I committed a minor property crime and this is what happened to me." People reading your comment would have been on your side more quickly and the element of doubt would have been removed. When you anticipate a question you take away the sting by providing that information up front. You anticipate the questions that will be asked and provide the information on your terms. In this case you did not commit a crime of violence, there was no reason to have people wonder or assume that you had. As I wrote in my original comment, our prison system needs significant reform. Relative to most nations we have a prison population that is four to five times higher. Approximately .7% of our population is in jail or prison. That is a tremendous number of people. We have a for-profit prison system that incentivizes longer sentences and encourages corruption and we imprison people for minor crimes and offenses. We keep people in prison for far longer than they should be. We don't prioritize rehabilitation and we often treat people in prison as though they are subhuman. We lack anything approaching a social safety net that would prevent a lot of people spiraling into crime. These are things that have to change. At the same time this doesn't mean that all police are bad, many are but there are people who genuinely believe in protecting and serving others. It is not right to brutalize or dehumanize anyone in prison. I made that clear in my first comment. Regardless of the crime we should try to treat people with decency. It is still true that we will have significantly less empathy for someone who has willfully and intentionally harmed an innocent. If a man rapes and beats a woman I am going to have very little empathy for them. If someone beats a child, starves a child, abuses someone who can't fight back I am going to struggle to feel compassion for them. I have suffered through violence. Perhaps it is a flaw on my part but it is difficult for me to have empathy for someone who wilfully chooses to hurt people. I understand that there are mitigating circumstances including mental illness. Poverty is not an extenuating circumstance, I've gone hungry and I never did violence to another person as a result. Making it clear up front that you did not do that would have avoided a lot of this conversation. I understand why you have a chip on your shoulder, I would have the same in your position. It would be good if you were able to understand where I was coming from too.

  910.  @Krill_all_health_insuranceCEOs  I disagree with a lot of what you have written. I don't think it is useful to call people sociopaths without good evidence that they are. Some background on me, I am Gen X, an attorney and a woman. I have experienced a lot. I've gone hungry and experienced things I'm not willing to share. I put myself through school and have lived in different countries. I've seen a lot. I have represented people from different walks of life and I was an administrative law judge for a few years. I will tell you that there are lots of bad people and they aren't limited to those who support the establishment. There are plenty of miserable human beings on the left. People as a general rule are selfish and out for themselves. In my experience the people who have survived difficulty are often those who make a commitment every day to be as decent a human being as they can be. I don't know what has to happen to make us as a species better. Less suffering to start with. When people have their needs met they have the leisure to breathe and think. We have to do a lot more for each other. No one person should have billions where others starve. No person should have dozens of homes when others go without a roof. But those who work hard should be able to enjoy the fruits of that labor. Humans are reward motivated but the system we have now has no checks, no balances. Someone can come up with a good idea and under capitalism as it exists in this country that can end up one of the richest people in the world with those who work for them peeing in bottles. It's an easy example, low hanging fruit but still valid. I think you should broaden your perspective. It isn't us and them, at least not the way you have painted it. There are good people on the other side even though I disagree with their politics. And there are plenty of bad ones on ours. Yes, ours. We are on the same side. You do an odd thing where you say that 99% of police are sociopaths and then another comment you say 93.7%, that weakens your argument. 99% of people in general aren't terrific. You don't know 99% or 93.7% of police it is advisable to refrain from characterizing them as pigs or sociopaths unless they're until you know it for a certainty. Yes, that profession does attract people who shouldn't be in it. Absolutely right. But it also attracts people who seek to protect. You can have someone with that frame of mind who is conservative and it will manifest in a less than ideal way. I wish we didn't have to have police but human beings have not yet evolved to a point where we can be trusted to not harm each other.

  911.  @Krill_all_health_insuranceCEOs  I don't think there is much ground for conversation. You are very fond of epithets and of judging people. You have no idea who or what my career has brought me into contact with but you feel very comfortable in making assumptions.

First of all, the person you're answering was quoting the original comment, you didn't pick up on that. Second, what's the relevance and why would you see fit to comment? You don't have to find her attractive, no one cares if you find her attractive. What should be bothering you though is the fact that she was murdered. Why doesn't it bother you? Is it a race thing? this is what you see fit to comment on? The fact that someone found her attractive, that is the issue that draws your attention?

  914. Food does not need a delivery system. If you do intermittent fasting and eat two meals a day, the first one might be eggs. You could make a frittata and have six meals for the next week. Eggs, heavy cream, cheese, cherry tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, bacon whatever you like goes into the frittata. It doesn't need bread you would just eat it on a plate with some sour cream or hot sauce and perhaps half an avocado on the side. You would make the frittata in the oven then cut it into six servings, assuming you used 12 eggs, refrigerate and warm up each slice as you needed it. I like to put it in the toaster oven crisp it up slightly on top. For dinner you might have 4 to 6 oz of grass-fed beef or wild caught fish or chicken, green beans or some other vegetable. I love balsamic green beans roasted in the oven until just slightly crisp. Let me know if you want the recipe, it's very straightforward and I'm happy to share it. I might have half an avocado with that, I put lemon juice on it and salt. If I make steak I saute a pile of spinach and cherry tomatoes in the pan afterwards, I wouldn't leave all the fat in the pan but enough to season the spinach and tomatoes. It's delicious. You can have some stuffed olives with your steak and green beans or creamy goat cheese if you enjoy that. Maybe a kiwi for dessert if you want dessert or half a cup of blueberries. When we eat one main meal a day we can eat till we are full without worrying about calories. I guess the point I'm making is that no delivery system is required. You don't need pasta to put your meat on or bread to make sandwiches. Don't get me wrong, I love bread. I love good crusty sourdough bread most of all but I eat it exceedingly rarely. Like you I've lost a lot of weight and I am keeping it off. If I really really want something and I know that if I don't have a little I'll break and eat a lot of it, I'll have a little and then fast for longer the next day. Eating this way requires some time and effort but it is very doable as you already know. Oven roasted chickpeas are a delicious way to incorporate a healthier starch. I love to cook and bake but I know that being healthy is better than even the most delicious bread tastes. I've also found Dr Jason Fung's work to be really helpful and useful. His first book, The Obesity Code was life changing for me. And of course stay away from pro-inflammatory Omega 6 processed vegetable and seed oils.

  916. I disagree with some of what you just said but I do think we should take the voters he will bring to us. Rogan has absolutely made comments that are indefensible. You are, to use your expression, out to lunch if you don't acknowledge that. I get so tired of people saying that someone is asking tough questions as a way of blanket excusing all sorts of ugly things. For the record I'm not referring to the trans issue, I agree that it is reasonable to ask and I've gotten attacked for having that point of view. I'm talking more about the racist and sexist stuff that he has put forward, and the fact that he has platformed some horrible people.

I voted for Bernie in our state primary and I would have voted for him for president, but if it's between Hillary and Trump then yes that's a problem of the system. We can try to solve that but we aren't going to make any progress on that with Trump as president.

  918. Can you refute his guest? Ayaan is black, brilliant and accomplished. Can you refute the fact that Professor Gay committed more than 50 acts of plagiarism? You should be able to form an ideology that you believe in but still be open to questioning it. You should be able to acknowledge that not everyone you perceive to be on your side is well intentioned. What motivates your way of thinking? Is it anti-semitism or do you feel aggrieved? Are you emotionally invested in believing what you think to be true? These are all genuine questions that you should be willing to ask yourself. I don't agree with everything Douglas says. But he is right on this topic. DEI started from a place of good intentions. Minorities in the United States have traditionally not gotten the same opportunities but it has become a cult where you are judged solely based on whether you belong to a perceived oppressor or oppressed class. That is very dangerous for all of us. We should want to be judged on the quality of our souls, on our intellect, on our willingness to work hard and overcome. If you disagree, please explain why, but courteously.

His logic is clearly lacking, he can't refute any of the points Oren is making, he's patently wrong on the face of all of his arguments. It's not controversial to use his expression. He appears to be a reasonably intelligent person he has written books, how can you be intelligent and Jewish and be so wrong?

  921. You know, I do not like Nancy Pelosi but I also find the sexism extremely distasteful. Why would you say that she can't identify a chess piece, why would you suggest that she is lacking in intellect? You don't like her? Neither do I. You feel that she made a bad mistake here, I agree with you. She handed ammunition to the Trump campaign by being utterly tone deaf. The problem I have is when you cast her as stupid. Why do we do that to women in power? Why can't we attack her on the basis of what she did? A person can make a terrible mistake in judgment and at the same time not be an idiot. Nancy Pelosi is an intelligent woman who has accomplished a lot, some of it good, unfortunately much of it to her own benefit. She has used what we have to acknowledge as generally good political instincts to build a career that spans decades starting in a time when women had even greater difficulty being taken seriously. We don't have to sneer and say that she's so stupid that she can't identify a chess piece. When we do that we lose the moral high ground. Instead let's focus on the very real things that she has done wrong.

The guy is very opinionated and that isn't necessarily a bad thing but I can see where it would get tiresome after a while. He also shills for companies a lot given the subscriber number.

  925. Why did you refer to him as Rape? You could have used his given name. There is no reason to accommodate something like that. What if he had named himself the n word? Would you call him that? Any other ugly epithet or offensive term? It would have been better to use his first or last name. You don't name yourself Rape unless you're trying very hard to intimidate. Helping him with that by uncritically going along with it was not the right choice. Then you let a statement that he (Rape) had a direct line to the group's "intellectual leader" go unchallenged. Intellectual leader? There is no intellect to be found in this. There is a lot of hatred, anger, misinformation, emotion and rage but there is no intellect. Referring to someone as their intellectual leader without adding anything else to clarify is a questionable call. There is a danger when reporting on terrorists/hate groups of inadvertently helping them by advertising them and their beliefs. When you let things go unchallenged such as calling someone Rape and referring to a member of a genocidal terrorist group as an intellectual leader you risk normalizing it. It's especially important when providing information about groups like this one to clarify and explain. It might seem obvious but given everything that has happened and is happening in our country, it is no longer as obvious as we might have thought.

  926. What's with the "tiny little meatball brain" comment? It's fine to dislike an actor and mock bad behavior. Say he's weird, offensive, a creep, from the clip those things seem to be true. Disdainful comments suggesting the guy is stupid, has a "meatball brain" are offensive. Did you mean meathead? You said meatball though suggesting big Italian guys are stupid. Meatball has long been used as a slur against Italians. Diesel isn't specifically Italian, his ethnicity isn't entirely known but the name he uses and character he embodies are intended to evoke Italian.

  927.  @ezrawnuk913  but that's not what he said. He specifically said that he had a meatball brain and he repeated it. Generally I'm not a fan of people calling others stupid or retarded or casting aspersions on their intellectual capabilities. Not in the way this video did. There's plenty of stuff that Diesel does that is cringeworthy and inappropriate. Call him out on that, don't condescend and don't have people on the head and refer them as having meatball brains. Do you disagree?

  933. Andrew, this was a comment I wrote to your video on Graham Linehan. I'm duplicating it here because I would like a response. You did say it "a silly thing to say" but later on you said "that is a shame, I don't know what to feel about anything anymore." This isn't a debatable issue. What he said was ugly. We do know what to feel about it. We should feel that it was out of line and that it was appropriate that people respond as they did - regardless of how "laddish" (that's cringe-inducing) or young, good lucking and horny he may be. I was genuinely surprised you didn't push back. --- "I don't like excusing the "I wouldn't f*** her" comment. We have to be willing to be honest and say something is offensive regardless of who says it. "They're lads, they're laddish, actors are quite laddish" is precisely the same thing as saying boys will be boys. I genuinely thought we had gotten past that, on the right, on the left, I didn't think I would ever hear a grown man excusing something damaging on the grounds that boys will be boys. "They're young horny dudes" he said then proceeded to repeat "you know" a couple of times until he finally said "you know, they're usually quite good looking. They're young horny dudes." What is the relevance of them being good looking or young horny dudes? How is that an explanation or reason to excuse saying something objectively awful? It appears to be his contention that young horny dudes should be excused when they say terrible things because they are young and horny? Boys will be boys? Respectfully, Andrew, this would have been a good moment for you to push back. Unfortunately you didn't do that. He continued saying "I just feel for him because he's very exposed. He's a conservative" to which you responded "that is a shame, I don't know what to feel about anything anymore." Yes, you do know what to feel about this. You should feel that it is unacceptable. It doesn't matter that he is a conservative. If someone is perceived to be on our side, if they share our political views, they get a pass? You don't know what to feel about anything anymore? Sure you do. You should feel the same way you would regardless of who says it. The fact that he's a good actor, laddish, young and horny? All of that has exactly zero to do with him saying that he wouldn't f*ck someone, calling a woman unf*ckable in public. I don't care what his politics are or how young and horny he is. Neither should you. How would you feel if anyone said that about any woman in your life? Think about that for a moment, actually you shouldn't need to think about it. This is an example of something that is patently obvious on its face. As soon as he said it I thought you would push back, I didn't think you would criticize your guest but I was certain you would gently say that it's not okay. Is this that type of channel? Where we call things out that need to be called out but only on the other side? Those we perceive to be on our side get a pass? He called a woman unf*ckable. This is an easy one. We know how to feel about it, it's not okay." --- We share elements of our background. As I noted in a prior response, I lived in Israel for 12 years (I'm from the US) and if a man said that in Israel of a woman, decent people from either side of the aisle would line up to excoriate him. As well they should.

  934. Why are you narrating this as though it were a joke? This is something people do, it is dangerous and stupid but you making a joke of it will not be a deterrent. Those who might do something like this will think it's funny and will reason that if it were really dangerous you would be more serious about it. I don't know if you have an attorney, if you do you should consult with her. Speaking as an attorney, your disclaimer in the description is inadequate. I would not want to represent someone who tacitly encourages people to do dangerous things by making them seem entertaining, while maintaining plausible deniability by pointing to a one line disclaimer buried in the description. I understand that you want to do something you enjoy and have fun doing it. I think that's possible without running the risk of actively harming people by influencing them to do dangerous things. At the very least primum non nocere. (First, do no harm)

  935. You are saying that when a woman has a child and the man is not present, that the woman made a bad choice? Wouldn't it be his poor choice? What about in cases of abuse? In your view, a woman should stay with an abusive or violent man? Why do you default to assuming that the absence of a man is the woman's fault?

  936. And of course at the end there is a product. A low carb high fat shake. Why is it that every one of these people other than Dr Fung is trying to sell something? His information is good, he is knowledgeable. He is not an MD, he is a PhD and he knows a lot. But the salesmanship, the buy my product, I formulated a product. The products are unnecessary. They are expensive, they are highly processed, and they are unnecessary. Take the knowledge, don't buy products that you don't really need. This is true for 90% of the people out there. For those who would benefit from the product, go ahead enjoy. But for the rest of us the knowledge is great the products not so much. I have to acknowledge as a woman probably slightly older than the channel host, the style of the presenter is irritating. The yeah bro, be legendary bruh dude style is just not to my taste. Be legendary! No, educate yourselves, be smart, make good decisions, be open to information but question that information. Do your own research. View with a questioning eye anyone who is trying to sell you a product. They may have great information, they may be altruistic or they may be in it for the money. Or some combination of the above. Feel free to roll your eyes at the idea of building a growth mindset. It is as pretentious and silly as it sounds.

  937. Please don't have a split screen with Michael Brooks. I enjoy watching you and listening to you most of the time but Brooks is a liability. The snark and smug self-assurance that he brings to the screen do not help you and are irritating to watch.

  939. Why the mockery? The whole cackling gallery is irritating. It feels like a group of sycophants feeding each other and egging each other on. I detest Bill O'Reilly but this video doesn't invite me in. I think it's correct to be critical of our side when we engage in stupidity, and these videos that appear in my feed, with a bunch of people laughing, cackling, mocking someone on the other side are distasteful. He's right about the phone issue, it is annoying to be behind someone holding up a phone or an iPad at a concert. I'm at least 30 years younger than he is and I agree with him on this, don't you?

  940. The US doesn't need to build more houses the US needs to use the houses that exist that are standing empty because they aren't generating sufficiently ridiculous levels of profit for the corporations that own them. There is room for everyone to be housed.

  941.  @oakstrong1  Are you addressing your comment to me? I have now said several times that the keto/low carb high fat and vegetarian or vegan community have a lot in common and should work together. These so-called gurus? Let's see, Dr Jason Fung, he's written several books, has been a respected nephrologist for a couple of decades and has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people by reversing type 2 diabetes through diet. I assume you are aware that type 2 diabetes can be reversed in people? Some individuals who have done this have commented above. He has also helped hundreds of thousands lose weight and restore their health. Is that adequate? How about Professor Emeritus Dr Robert Lustig? He's also written several books and has practiced medicine for decades. Both are well respected doctors, not chiropractors, not gurus and neither of them sells supplements to the public. Neither of them have a storefront or take advantage of their influence. You can buy their books but they aren't the guru types you're thinking of, people who make a living preying on the gullible. Not exactly what you were expecting? Do yourself a favor and don't assume that everyone out there is an idiot who watches a video and then embraces the content of that video as a religion. The main point of the keto and low carb high healthy fat way of eating is to avoid processed foods, avoid added sugar, avoid pro-inflammatory vegetable and seed oils and reduce the abundance of carbohydrates in the standard American diet in favor of healthy fats, healthy proteins and vegetables. I have an advanced degree and I did my due diligence. It is irritating to receive a comment like yours that is based on nothing other than assumptions. You could have asked questions, you could have read my comments more carefully and understood my approach from those comments rather than assuming the worst. And yes, I do think that this or that person who is the leading this or that are absolutely subject to their own biases. In every discipline, every single one this happens. Further, there is no such thing as an ideal human diet. Some people thrive on a vegetarian regimen others do not. The fact that an individual is the leading Oxford whatever does not render them impervious to pressure and prejudice. The appeal to authority logical fallacy is an obvious one.

  942.  @CathyDragon8  I disagree. Animal foods are healthy for humans if the animals are raised healthily and sustainably and without cruelty. McDonald's is a terrible example. Their meat comes from CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) where the animals are not able to graze, they are kept in a small area, they are frequently fed growth hormones and corn instead of eating grass and getting sun. Because they don't live a natural life they get sick and are fed antibiotics. I won't eat anything like that and I won't support it. That kind of cruelty has no place in a healthy society. Eating meat from grass-fed animals is different and is healthy for humans. It is what we have eaten for millennia. Processed foods are unhealthy, unhealthy animals are unhealthy not just for them but for us too. The debate on eating animals goes beyond this conversation. I think some animal protein in moderation is acceptable, I understand that you may feel differently and I respect your point of view. I have been vegetarian at times for the same reasons. I think we can agree that animal cruelty should be illegal. CAFOs should be illegal. If you're going to eat eggs they should come from pasture raised hens that live a normal life. The eggs that come from conventional chicken farms are terrible, the chickens live miserable lives, they are sick, they don't get to go in the sun, they don't get to eat their normal diet and the food they produce reflects that. The nutritional breakdown of conventional eggs versus pasture raised hens is significant. It shouldn't be surprising that treating animals badly results in unhealthy animals and unhealthy humans. Where did anyone say that feta was a vegetable?

  943.  @shelleybrookes8065  I don't think I said I was maintaining strict keto regimen. I do low carb high fat, I get a moderate amount of healthy protein and low carbohydrate. I generally keep it two under 50 g net carb a day. I'm not sure what your comment intended whether it was a question or something you wanted me to answer.

  944. Are you sure this is happening because your videos are regularly in my suggested queue and I'm not a subscriber. This channel is in my list of suggested channels all the time. Other smaller channels are also suggested and I would like to see more of those.

  945. It is that outrageous. There's no need for the cynical interpretation. You can hear the real emotion in his voice. Take the win. Take the allies when they appear, don't look for ways to diminish their support. And for the guy on the right, Scarborough did not suggest that the insurrectionists should be shot in the face. Don't intentionally misinterpret. It's becoming such that when Sam isn't around the quality of the show goes down. What Scarborough said was that if they had been black or Muslim they would have been shot in the face. He was not advocating for shooting them, he was pointing out that if they had not been white Trump supporters they would have been shot. And he's right. It's good that someone like Joe Scarborough recognizes the double standard and racism in our society. It's a win when more conservative white people can see that there is a problem.

  947.  @jamesdavis5729  I appreciate your response. I thought I was going to get attacked for it, but I really enjoy Sam's content most of the time, the other guy not so much. I'm likewise not a big fan of the whole Greek chorus thing where everyone chimes in and cackles in the background.

  949. He supported Mel Gibson and that entire anti-semitic rant. Are you okay with anti-Semitism? I'm not. I don't agree with the other issues, I don't think he should have been canceled but supporting Mel Gibson and putting his finger on the scale of anti-Semitism, that was not okay.

  951. It isn't the last failed gasp of Trumpism. It is disingenuous of you to suggest it. From one attorney to another, you know better or you should. The conditions that spawned Trump have not changed and will not change under a Biden administration. The populist we could have elected, the real populist, mainstream Democrats viewed as unacceptable. Here's the thing, so many people in this country view progress achieved by others as their loss. If you are a working class white person, you view the gains of black people, women, other minorities, as coming at your expense. Progress here is a zero-sum game for many people. It isn't really but this is how it's viewed. Until we have better education, health care for everyone, and a social safety net similar to what other countries have, that anger and rage that Trump taps into will be present. Once people don't feel that every drop of progress comes at their expense, they'll be able to relax and be less susceptible to this kind of manipulation. Education is also necessary, neither party has made it a priority because both benefit from an easily manipulated base.

  952. I have concerns with Bikman being presented as Dr Bikman. I know it's a thing that is done on YouTube, if you have a PhD you are are accorded the honorific as a means of bolstering credibility. This is not to say that his information isn't useful and important but he is not an MD. Dr Fung is. I would prefer more transparency, rather than forcing the viewer to go and look the speaker up. I'm very familiar with Dr Fung, I'll give Ben Bikman the benefit of the doubt but from my perspective presenting him as a doctor is just next to deceptive.

  954.  @andrewgoldheretics  I apologize then, Andrew. It's after 1:00 a.m. and I'm tired, I thought you were signing on to that part of what he was saying. When you repeated it there didn't seem to be pushback and I didn't listen to the entire discussion. For the record, I'm an attorney, I was an administrative law judge in New York state. Even though some do regard long nails and long hair as the appropriate gender expression of a woman, I probably wouldn't have been taken as seriously if I'd had them. We have to be attractive and conform but not too much. It can be a difficult line to walk and something men generally do not have to worry about. I'll listen to this again in the morning when I am more awake. Again, I apologize for misunderstanding.

  955. This doesn't help us. It hurts us because it reassures people and makes them think the Trump can't be re-elected. He absolutely can be unless people get out and vote. Talk to your friends and family, give people a ride to the polls, give out masks, volunteer, vote.

  956. I don't understand why he says those processed foods are delicious. I don't find them delicious. I never did. They taste artificial. They're designed to be addictive but once you know what's in them they're no longer appealing. Do I still want to eat something I bake? Sure, because that's delicious. But the highly processed fast food? I find that stuff pretty gross. Not appealing at all

  957. @MikkoHow about a 14 year old? What do you do when you have all these 14-year-old girls who idolize and look up to you? Girls that age are children, literally children. He used the allure and appeal that he had. I don't see how you can justify this by saying oh hey hitting on the teenager. That's not what he did. He leveraged his place in the game, for these girls he was someone to emulate and look up to, a rock star of the game. What do you do when you have vulnerable children who need attention and you use that for sexual gratification? Do you think about the damage that did to the girls? I read the account of the one who was 14 at the time, it's heartbreaking. I can give you a link to it if you want I think you should read it.

  959.  @HassanSanem  If you live another 80 years I will have still forgotten more vocabulary than you will have ever learned. Misogyny is more of a problem than generalized misandry. Women are targeted more frequently than men. I don't know what's behind the ugliness in your approach to others. I can't help you or fix it, what I can do though is decline to interact further. Do something about it for your own benefit and future happiness.

  960.  @Sokrates9500  Yes, he was. It doesn't have to be a conventional scam. He was fooled, that's what a scam is. One person or group of people enacting a plan to the detriment of someone else in order to obtain money or cause the individual to take an action deleterious to themselves. You're splitting hairs and being unnecessarily argumentative. The point remains that with sufficient preparation anyone can be taken advantage of, anyone can be scammed. You might want to ask yourself why you feel so strongly that you are invulnerable, that other people are idiots and you could never be taken advantage of. Is it self-defense? Or does it come from a need or desire to feel superior to others? I wouldn't be taken in by a phone call but I am aware that scams can be sophisticated. That causes me to be more vigilant. But condemning others for being taken advantage of? All that does is create an atmosphere of shame that will limit people coming forward and that plays into the hands of scammers. None of us should want that to happen.

  961. I am so sorry for your loss and sorrow. I had to put my beloved 18-year-old cat to sleep in March. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do. I understand how emotional you feel, this video made me cry also.

  962. Please let's not let the right determine terminology. It's already a win for them when we refer to their position as "pro-life." If they are pro-life what are we, pro death, anti-life? Let's call their position what it is, anti-choice. One of these sides is pro-life, but it isn't theirs. Their position results in much more loss of life than pro-choice ever could be.
