  4.  @abrohamproductions8263  'Bout right. Simple dramatization is a way of simply dramatizing. Duh. The points the guy makes are pretty pedestrian but reasonably ball-park plausible.

  5. Nothing in the first seven minutes and twenty-two second has anything to do with the topic. It's all blather about how important what you think is -- and it's almost all incorrect because it's really about feelings, not thoughts. Meself, I really don't care what this guy thinks, but it might be nice if he could get what he does more in consonance with what he claims he does. I leave the last four minutes for somebody else to review. 'Nuff time wasted.

  6. I think you have lost your thousand dollars. Remember, all the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but No, not all the people all the time. The guy is getting found out, and while Whee The Peepul like a good laugh, or a good bit of defiance, or even just a good loud scene, we also wake up to reality from time to time. Trump is brash, bright, aggressive and noisy. Some of what he says is even true. Even a blind pig... But he's a loser. A stone, pro, experienced, practiced and proven loser. Sorry about your thousand bucks. -dlj.

  8. "One" is singular. Who's a guessed it? One in thirty is whatever it is. Thirty is plural, shure. I just isn't the subject there, see?

  9. "None" is singular. None of these is whatever you claim it isn't.

  10. Jordan Peterson is a very highly intelligent man. He tells a lot of silly lies involving a Karl Marx, perhaps his own invention, perhaps just something he found lying around in Alberta's Social Credit wreckage. He makes a lot of money out of monetizing Granny's wisdom for incels, most of it not merely true but blindingly obvious. Both Cathy Newman and Charisma on Demand delude themselves in thinking they are in his league. They're not. Charisma on Demand, though, at least gets some bits of Peterson right; he underestaimates Newman's foolishnesses.

  11. Little known fact about Socrates (6:21): he was a reliable, trustworthy, leader of his men. When your army is routed, the survivors are the small groups who stick together. Socrates was a corporal in the Athenian army defeated in one of the major battles between Athens and Sparta. While the Athenians were running for the hills and getting chopped up retail by the Spartans, Socrates' small section of hoplites came out of it alive because he held them together as a coherent group rather than helpless scared individuals. Lawrence, in his commentary on the Arabs' victory over the Germans in the desert, speaks admiringly of the German survivors, "They were magnificent," little groups who stuck together in the chaos and saved each others' lives while their army as a whole was being ground up to Hell. Socrates wasn't any airy-fairy academic. He was a tough, Prussian, drill-master and both your leader and your buddy in the fight.

  13. "One in thirty people" is a singular noun. Anybody who thinks it's plural is not paying attention, but hooking onto the nearest hook, in this case that misleading "people." Look at it this way: if somebody can't identify their subject, they don't know what they're talking about.
