Jordan - what you're doing in a lecture, is demonstrating fluid intelligence. What you're doing in a TV interview, is displaying finely-polished crystallized intelligence. A journalistic spot with a split-screen of four talking heads, is basically a spoken essay with the host as primary author, using the four talking heads as sources of quotes.

"Who are you to tell me to valorize that person?" Why are you automatically taking anyone seriously? Jeez Michael, just ignore them. Make fun of them, if you like.

Michael, you ignore the fact that there are malign international actors that would make the sort of freedom you desire absolutely impossible, if the nation had some kind of "divorce". The REAL solution is for the US to divide up into 50 different polities or so, called "commonwealths" (or something different if they wanted to be weird and unique), who would only get together on questions of foreign policy, war, etc.

Malice's description of school -- mediocre teachers, forcing you to deal with bullies, forcing you to have the same hours, etc -- tells you a lot about his character, I think. He had a bad time in high school, and still can't get over it.

Michael, you're a utopianist who would deprive this country (or individuals) of defense against aggressive enemies simply to feel morally superior. You're got more in common with the most priggish and shortsighted sort of intellectual pacifists, than you have in common with people who can maintain liberty.

Professor Peterson, re: Social Media platforms: I've seen enough of them flourish and fall, not to take any of them too seriously. Facebook and YouTube are living on borrowed time, at this point. Twitter is rotten enough to fall any day now, and they're so terrified of it that they'll commit extremely corrupt acts to stave it off.

This hymn was written in 1845 -- Malice is off by 50-70 years. 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And 'tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 4 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 'tis truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong: Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch above His own.
