  1. "Why is it good that individuals and not the state should be responsible for economic provision?" Because in the end, an actual individual is the one doing the work to make that economic provision happen, and that individual knows more than the government does about how to make that happen.

  2. "Liberals are more associated with openness" Huh, weird. I'm like 90th percentile for openness. I listen to everything the Liberals say. And see that it's complete horses**t.

  3. "If you are a MAGA conservative when the core of your political belief is based on a big lie" Oh my. This woman's world is going to be absolutely shattered when she learns it's the media and Biden that have been lying to her the whole time.

  4. You didn't make it to 1:10:00, did you.

  5. "Having a system -- government, that's what we've got" No. We have all of civil society, which includes not only government, but family, private associations, fraternal groups, churches, companies, clubs, and the rest. Without Civil Society, government devolves into totalitarianism.

  6. "People who work hard still can't get ahead" Yes, because ignorant bureaucrats interfere.

  7.  @stepheninderlied5091  He's certainly a really great listener, when he's in clinician mode and trying to figure people out. I think his interviews with Brand are hilarious fun. [Commenter 1]: "Brand interrupts him so much" [Commenter 2]: "If anyone can handle it, it's Peterson" [Me]: "If anyone deserves it, it's Peterson." =) The second interview with Brand, Pastor Paul VanderKlay called a "preach-off", which was exactly right and great fun to watch.

  8. She misses the fact that Conservatives also respond to disgust, in ways that Liberals do not. This explains why far-Left San Francisco has not only the Castro district, but homeless people defecating in the streets.

  9. At the end there she's kind of an idiot, though.

  10. I dunno. It seems to me that when he listens, it's because his interlocutor is talking nonsense and he's trying to figure out where that nonsense is coming from.

  11. Yeah, she had nothing interesting to say on the subject of politics -- just predictable Leftist talking points, and a huge blind spot for the big lies that the Left tells people to keep them on-side.

  12. Leftists have for the last ten years basically been arsonists, who wanted to burn down our house. "Compromise with them!" the 'centrists' say. "Just let them burn down the garage and the kitchen, and they'll be content." Then we stood there with a burned-out kitchen and garage, and the Left again says "I want to burn down your house." The 'centrists' again say "Compromise! Balance!" and there goes your living room and dining room up in flames. Centrists are wankers who fetishize centrism, no matter how destructive it is in practice.
