  1.  @dendradwar9464  One second sufficed: I said nothing about differing with Campbell's views, and in fact I am quite congenial to them, as I was during the pandemic when I watched his videos (with interest and general approval) probably about once a week. Your thinking, if I construe it properly as it was expressed, is faulty and, it appears, lazy. That whooshing sound was my original point speeding over your head. Let it come by for another go, please.

  2.  @dendradwar9464  1) I alluded to a possibility that I couldn't make out your meaning because of how you write. Ok, it turns out I couldn't, but at least I was alive to the chance. 2) I don't know what you're on about here, for I see no question mark in your initial reply, but it is phrased as a question. Fill me in if you like. 3) My medical history is private, but I'm willing to say that my choices reflected my tendency toward moderate stances on just about everything life. I did spend hundreds of hours going as much as possible straight to learned academic sources in order to inform myself, whilst studiously ignoring media reports. Your original post is baffling to me. To me it has an air of challenge and disagreement, but its precise point of contention eludes me. Can you put it another way? Thanks for your reply.

  3.  @dendradwar9464  That's all fine, although I still struggle to get your meaning entirely. The thing is that I don't want to debate the vaccines. I grew tired of that subject. Let's just say I am not interested in a booster unless I can get the Novavax one, which is based on a platform (protein subunit/protein adjuvant) which broadly speaking is of 1980s vintage. I only wrote my OP because I was concerned about how readers would construe the video title, and it had nothing to do with the value of a nursing PhD degree versus that of an MD. Zero. Several people are reading far too many things into it. Classic case of "So what you're saying is..."

  4.  @MS-yc2tb  "How come trans women mostly focus on the overly sexualized woman image?" Because they're generally if not all gay men and they want to attract straight men. I wonder how can you ask. I have a question for you: Why do you refer to some people abused as children "admitting" to going on to have opposite sex sex? Opposite sex sex is normal. My confusion must have to do with the comment you replied to no longer being visible for whatever reason.

  5. Even as an entirely hypothetical fantasy the very idea of a pill to 'improve' one's morals is rather dim. What on earth would that even mean? It surely took a lightweight to devise that as a survey question; it takes another to regard it at all seriously, as she evidently does. I'm left to surmise she's from the early cohort of participation-medal children who were praised unconditionally by their parents. ("You're the best, honey! Yay!" "I'm the best! Yay!")

  6.  @MmntechCa  Ford respected the voters. You're forgetting that pro-lockdowners were absolutely furious with him nearly the whole way, the news media were uniformly clamouring for stricter measures, and so were the public health authorities. He actually stood up fairly well under their enormous and unrelenting pressure. He steered a middle course between the polarized desires of a public who were very divided but leaned pro-lockdown.

  7. It has to be spelled right, as Nietzsche spelled it: ressentiment. But he was right, and so are you.

  8.  @RandomAussieGuy87  I read tons of Trig comments and I disagree strongly. I too view myself as a centrist.

  9. Yeah, that was a really low moment for Konstantin. I hope he wishes he could take that back. I'm not thrilled with Francis for his guffaw at it either.

  10.  @rodiusmaximus  Then your meaning is obscure. I maintain that your comment should be recast as "Peterson's difficulties are proof of the axiom 'The truth doesn't mind being questioned, but a lie doesn't like to be challenged.' " Otherwise you're saying it's Peterson who's telling lies. Note that I have also corrected the problem phrase "a lie can't doesn't like."😂

  11.  @rodiusmaximus  I know the English language inside and out, thank you very much, and I wasn't alleging any grammatical or syntactical disagreement between 'Peterson' and 'living proof.' I found fault with the idea that Peterson himself is defending lies. That's what the OC, as worded, asserts. Obviously 'living' as a modifier of 'proof' cannot refer to difficulties and would have to go if 'Peterson' were no longer the subject of the sentence. You must be fun at any funerals you are permitted to attend.

  12.  @steinanderson  "Meltdown" and "legitimately" are empty rhetoric as used by you here. You're not one of those people referred to in the title, are you?

  14. ​ @debanydoombringer1385  They just hate the rich, and it's out of envy—i.e. simple resentment of others, for what they have. It's a very base human instinct and we see what happens when envy-filled people take over. They set up a society far more vicious than what preceded it, with themselves at the top. And immediately they begin awarding themselves privileges and luxuries. Here's the archetypal conclusion, ten years on, of the dupes of socialists who with high hopes had co-operated with their takeover: "They said they were going to eliminate poverty, but poverty went up. What they did was eliminate the comfortably well-off. With that, they declared success."

  15. 👍Pretty well informed comment. It's so incredibly false for Putinists to claim that it was only the US who wanted Yanukovych out. Ukraine was hopping mad over his absolute fraud of a campaign. They very rightly rose up to get that wannabe tyrant and traitor to his nation out of there.

  18.  @rinzler9171  A perhaps surprising source, Yuval Hariri, declares that moderate nationalism is not only good but actually essential. Easily searchable here on this site.

  19.  @obosumba   Yeah, and analogously to the Germans, those programmed in wokeism are told that the European peoples are wicked and the West is a cesspool of oppression which must be torn down. Ordinary children are indoctrinated like so many Hitler Youth. So, ironically, woke turns out to mean unable to see reality with one's own eyes, able only to see through what others want one to believe. Blind, asleep, anything but awake. It's like I'm talking to a Moonie here.

  20. Not at all. He's very right about Ukraine, totally unlike your heroes—that shoulda-been-a-janitor Mearsheimer and that dissimulating king of sneak Carlson.

  21. I bet GenZers are messed up and guilt-wracked from watching internet porn, which I assume most of them first looked at before they were even 10. It's practically impossible for parents to stop, and many must have watched a large amount. It's probably why they think the human race is terrible and why they so easily absorb woke indoctrination. Guilt and confusion prepare the ground for things like misanthropy, shame, anxiety, depression...and of course sanctimonious finger-pointing.

  22. And add to childlessness manlessness. Wanting to commit violence on George Osborne or something like it is almost bound to creep in.

  23. NATO is merely the club of countries which exists to deter Russia from attacking them. You don't understand Europe. You don't understand Russia. You don't understand Putin. You don't understand anything.

  24.  @SuperSuperdude88  Spending on Ukraine is lunch money compared to the cost of letting European security collapse. Tens of billions versus tens of trillions. I repeat, lunch money. Moreover it's being well spent. Militarily it's been highly effective: Putin is the frog being slowly boiled, his army decimated. After his defeat he will not dare repeat his blunder. Go home, Ivan. Get t.f.o. of Ukraine where you don't belong.

  27. Well, hard-left activists flock to these uploads and pile on the dislikes and "reports." In many or most cases, I would imagine, that's enough for the algorithm to handle the deletion on its own. (In the rest, of course, some wokester hireling gleefully hits the destroy button. Presto!, a hit of dopamine and 10 cents in wages.🤮)

  28. My dear Konstantin, the left haven't changed. They're just as loony as they've ever been. Anyway, thanks for making the choices that it took to get you to this point.👍 (What took you so long, btw?😄)

  32.  @hexum7  What a mess of a comment (especially the long paragraph). It all goes without saying or is patently untrue. You know, you go a long way towards bolstering the OC's assertion. It's ok though, I wish you well.

  35. @supernovaaust Yes, but no in a way. Marxism is actually all about human corruptibility, expunging it, that is --- in others --- by abolishing private property. It does not appear take into account the corruptibility of its own adherents. (Cf. "Commonly the Puritan saw sin everywhere, excepting the mirror.") In other words, yes, it seems to assert that corruptibility isn't inherent in people, it originated with capitalism. I'm mildly curious if that's in Marx somewhere. Thanks for your reply.

  36. "A touch of the Hancock" Hahaha In 1960 there would've been letters written to Hughie Greene (the BBC Director-General).

  37.  @john_smith1471  Very well. I know for a fact Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers referred to him as Hughie Greene in the sense of the man who was ultimately their boss. It suppose it was in jest but that's all right because I meant it the same way.

  38. That British-Egyptian guy was pure gold. (Not sure just what I mean but those are the right words for it.) Konstantin's answer to him was equally golden and it was great also that he offered him the follow-up which clarified so well what he was on about. Speaking of so well, I was extremely glad that Thomas Sowell's name came up and his thought given suitable discussion and praise, even if very briefly. ..... ..... Btw, why do socialists have such wide faces?

  39.  @heronsdoor4658  Because of what the education faculties at the universities are like. They've been very left-wing for a long, long time, and to dedicated leftists mass murder is cute when the left does it.

  44.  @PeterbFree  I could easily mute hundreds or even thousands of people a year, but do it very sparingly anyway, only about two a year. The most thoroughly hopeless ones. Congratulations on earning that distinction.

  45. ​ @BlurryFace-ro3mp  I said that "As a term in linguistics it retained its sense of male vs. female anyway." Retained indicates I knew it was an older word. But this is too tedious to interest me anymore. Here, take the ball and find somebody else to play with.

  46.  @BlurryFace-ro3mp  When someone says they're not interested, you're obliged to respect that. To persist is to harass. Just a little more than that and it begins to near stalking. In any case it's totally bad manners. Congratulations on making me hit the mute button. Proud of that?

  47.  @ActuallyJustB  Excuse me, are you disparaging Andrea for having a course of personal growth and development which was at most slightly out of the ordinary, and has been a common part of the female experience since time immemorial? Unacceptable. She is owed a retraction of those remarks, and an apology. Out with it!

  48. The left: Studies that show how T levels make men destructive, reprehensible and morally inferior to women are great. Absolute truth bombs.🙄 Also the left: Studies that show how T levels make black women less attractive to men are misogynistic, rai cyst, pseudoscientific, hateful, "problematic". Their authors must be ostracized.🙄 Their sole aim is to show that maleness is the problem. Not to show it, actually; to assert it and then punish anyone who disagrees. It's precisely that shameless and self-serving instinct towards tyranny that made Orwell, a committed socialist but still a decent and honest human being, so nauseated by leftists.

  50.  @TheJeremyKentBGross  Please. I'm saying AGI will be vastly more dangerous than nukes. So why say nukes are less dangerous than I imagine?  A billion times ten and a billion times a thousand are both enormous numbers. And if AGI does deliver some benefits for people, how exactly does that offset its potential to turn Earth to Hell? So what if billions attain clear skin and spotless homes if they die in an bot-war apocalypse or suffer in tyranny under the madman with the biggest array of GPUs?
