no, just actively listen, watch him fight for the right words and consider why he fought for those words.

He's popular because his work is easily digestible (outside of his academic work)

I like it. I started listening to the podcast a few weeks ago

Thanks for the responses

I find myself just rolling my eyes when I read the article and the comments and just dismissing it.

I guess the discomfort is I didn't even care to go through the intellectual "rigor" to argue their points/position.

I'm just robbing myself. Lol

I mean considering it's basically all strawmen there's not much rigor needed lol

fucking microsoft wonders why no one wants to install the windows updates

I need call in show now

Must have

Intellectual discussion and slightly assholish humor in waiting room chat. I'm in a glass case of emotionnnn

I don't get to do waiting room voicechat 😦

This Munk debate on political correctness is a trashing of the left.

They've got two intellectuals up there, and they keep just falling back on "muh identity politics has been hurt in the past, trump is stupid."

Meanwhile, JBP and Fry keep just saying, "Political correctness is harming enlightenment values, removing them from society in favor of real harm to ordinary people for speech.".... they come back with more "Muh identity, Trump!"

„the left“ still has intellectuals?

Well, a black identity politics church preacher and a feminist.

To be fair, the entire debate panel is leftist, even Peterson.

Not a conservative among them, and this is "debate"

Lmao thanks, Stefan Molyneux

I was just watching this Munk debate

https://youtu.be/GxYimeaoea0 for those who are interested.

Holy cow every word out of this black mans mouth makes me hate him. His entire perspective is group-identity

"It's hard to be a self-deprecating englishman"... jesus...

Just fucking deal with the IDEAS for one second

Wow, Stephen Fry's closing was A+

He Nailed it

I can't take preacher's like this seriously... we just had a black president. There are no institutional barriers for anyone anymore. If you're complaining about assholes who are racist... well too bad, we all have to deal with assholes.

And one more final smear on JBP by the lady on her closing statement... unbelievable.

that matchup- Psychologist and Actor take on Blogger and American political commentator (read: blogger on tv)

I like to think of Fry as more comedian, tbh.

Sure

either way though

they're up against a blogger and a glorified blogger

You're trying to say it's a bit unfair? I might agree.

it's a bit stacked yeah

But I doubt the bloggers would agree with us.

oh I'm sure they consider themselves to be the intellectual artillery of their movement :^)

I think what that debate was was the tiny, whiny, identity-charged left throwing their best shot at two very reasonable leftists, and failing utterly.
