  1. Sadly, he is a straight-forward Democrat Politician, giving a straight-forward Democrat Politician interview. I listened to the point where he started talking about the "long tail of slavery". Yeah, which his party wanted to perpetuate. The lack of self-awareness and history...

  2. ​ @elcorado83  He's not a hypocrite, he's someone who didn't understand what was going on, until he stepped outside the bounds of what the Left deams acceptable. Since that happened, he's learned what it's all about and has become a true fighter against the madness.

  3. The real question that Dawkins is missing: If we completely forgot about Shakespeare, but still had the stories, would the stories be less valuable, valid and applicable? Would not knowing about Shakespeare invalidate the genius of his work? Obviously, the answer is no. Peterson understands this and is what he's trying to say.

  4. I've been reflecting on how the UK education system is utterly counter-productive. Every experience I have had post school, every observation, has been that some aspect of what I learnt at school had to be undone.

  5.  @RandoMuser-h1o  I only got that far by conscious effort - you need to listen to the other side, y'know? But there was nothing of value to be had. "I'm a Democrat because someone told me I am." Please...

  6.  @gd303uk  I would suggest you're not familiar with the business model of insurance companies. "Follow the money" is absolutely the correct analysis. Insurance companies work by making long-term bets on how long people live, how many (and how severe) storms will be. They then collect premiums so that they will get more money in than they will need to pay out. If you're in the "future prediction business" and insurance companies are paying you big bucks, then that only adds credibility; all the tropes about insurance companies are right - they HATE giving money to anyone and they won't do it purely for "political" reasons, as you're suggesting.

  7. There is an element of karma here, which he is well aware of.

  8. Interesting. I actually think JBP dropped the ball here - he went straight into his usual anti-left tack, but did so in his very high-minded way - like he was talking to post-grads, rather than 1st years. This was a mistake, as, more than anything, he didn't address the question and keep it ON the question. That and you need to bring people along with you; I knew what JBP was talking about, but would someone who HADN'T seen him before? This is why Fry was more successful, in my view. By this, I mean that the way lefties "debate" is by constantly shifting the goal post, by deflecting and changing the subject; by making it about the person, rather than the subject. An example would be when JBP said "Auschwitz", the question went from "some bad" to "something recent". What has "recent bad things by far-right" got to do with Political Correctness? The problem is, that by NOT saying tightly focused on PC and refusing to allow the debate to move off-topic, JBP opened the door for those nasty (they called him "Mr", not Dr or Professor), idiot lefties to use their "usual" tactics of distraction, which is why they persist; when you pin them down, they have nothing - they survive by being slippery, so THAT is what you need to tackle when you debate them. It was really nice to see Fry with JBP, but it was clear they hadn't really talked beforehand (perhaps a schedule issue), but I'm REALLY hoping to see them together again soon, having a serious discussion...

  9. Alcohol isn't the problem. It's the gaping chasm in my soul and the crushing emptiness that I have to suppress in order to keep going.

  10. Marxism is evil and has NO RELEVANCE to the modern world. Full stop. End of. It rejects the rights of the individual. It rejects self-determination and individual responsibility. "Class" has nothing to do with anything other than being a means of dividing society so evil men - and they are invariably men - can rise to power. If you don't understand these core facts, you are ignorant or stupid and if you do, you are evil.

  11. I am a scientist because I am a Christian. Though, right now, I have no faith and I am completely lost...

  12. Yeah, that gravy that, subsequently, he doesn't appear to have questioned it...
