  1. Nice to see a European who actually is looking at this phenomena with such an objective and factual lenses. Seriously, most Europeans I see either chug all the rising right wing populist sentiment to "muh racism!" but you actually hit it accurately. This is all due to rising ethnocentrism due to unfettered immigration and a perceived and sometimes real fear of cultural and societal undermining, not to mention security issues. It is not something unique to Europe. Even in Africa here, we tend to experience it. Heck! In Nigeria, we have been dealing with islamic extremism due to an influx of militants from Niger and Chad.

  2. So basically what ISIS, Saudi Arabia (wahabism) and much of extremist islam is already?

  3. Well said and absolutely true. If the institutions and cultural framework to facilitate scientific innovation or even the adoption of scientific innovations and other progressive forms of societal building, then there is no way these islamic will progress. Is it any wonder that the only country in the middle east with technological progress, social stability, economic prosperity and political stability happens to be Israel despite the fact that they don't have oil or even the most viable land or even a lot of land?

  4. And what is wrong with the "home maker" role, exactly? Given the fact that women may make up more of the University/college educated but also make up the majority of those who hold high student debt and debts in general, the fact that more and more women are putting off marriage and family building past 30 when it is more biologically viable and the fact that depression and mental issues are on the rise among women, how exactly would more women embracing traditional feminine roles be against women's interests, exactly?

  5.  @colinfrederick2603  Saying starting a "family=women's interest" is not sexist despite what current year progressive culture asserts. By that logic, you might as well say "men=providers and protectors" is misandrist. Not all men and women want to be, or should be, parents but how exactly is me pointing out a general trend and fact regarding most women sexist exactly? Don't women generally tend to have more nurturing and motherly instincts? Doesn't this also reflect in their choices of careers which focus more on people than things, unlike men? Your point about men needing to take part in raising of kids is also valid and I agree. I just don't agree that men should work less and women spend less time away from their kids because whether either of us likes it or not, the optimal way to raise a family is with a more involved mother being present for the child's formative years and a father being available but ensuring resources and means are provided. That's why even career women take time off or refuse higher demanding career advances because it cuts into their time with their children. As to my point that having kids later is causally linked to mental health issues, I am referring to the proven fact that the older a woman gets (usually past 25) the greater the difficulty in having successful pregnancies and the increased risk of cognitive issues developing in the baby like down syndrome. This is due to her eggs not being as viable and chromosomal issues developing. It also happens with males and sperm but ours is delayed because biologically, we are more viral for a longer period than women. Regarding your "Pareto Optimal setup" and build back better, what makes you so sure that will work, especially when the USA already has a lot welfare funding, family funding, nd increased public spending that has not really solved any of their intended problems that reducing poverty, reducing illiteracy and has even contributed to further destabilization of family units, especially black communities like mine? As for your mentioning of WW2, that was an extreme situation so it made sense to involve women in the war economy. But do you really think all women wanted to continue with that state of affairs? war, possible forced conscriptions, rationing? Finally, where am I saying women should be trapped in the home? No one is saying that. But more so, how is that notion different from you demonising women at home while glorifying women only working behind cubicles and nothing else?

  6. @NigerianBrudda Okay, I see your point. Even wahabism, as widely taught as it is, is not the most dominant form of islam out there and most muslims, though non-secular, are not extremists. My bad. It would be a good thing for the religion to actually evolve and modernise in other ways but you are right that not all of islam is extremist or too orthodox.

  7. He didn't ignore it. It has simply peaked. I believe the New Atheist movement was that peak and it also heralded its downfall because, at the end of things, it became a pseudo-religion and partly inspired other pseudo-religions like the socjus movements we are still dealing with.

  8. Better than worshipping mini earthly tyrants, and self-serving ideologies here on earth.

  9. He did actually. I believe it was like an hour long livestream he did with another YouTuber last year.

  10. Are you sure about this? Jordan Peterson's ideals of maturity, personal responsibility, stoicism and abhorrence to identity politics seems to be resonating with way more people, besides just white people, than you think because good ideas and likable people appeal to everyone. Just because you don't doesn't mean it is the same for others.

  11. Indeed. History has proven so, as well. CLassical Greek society and western Roman society both became decadent and largely agnostic and atheist and this contributed to their decline.

  12. You do need to reform. Muslims are pious but since islam never had a reformation (or at least, since the only attempts at reformation were brutally repressed) your societies have never learned how to adopt to the changing tides of the world. That is also why despite the islamic world pioneering the scientific revolution, it stalled and lost steam while Europe embraced it, and used Christianity to further pursue science and outpaced the islamic world in terms of science, technology and even social building and economics.

  13. "The man is barely relevant now and spiraling downwards." What? He is back on tour and his shows have been selling out along with his recent book.
