The world has never been more connected. Yet never more divided. We yell at each other from inside our echo chambers. But change doesn’t happen inside an echo chamber. It’s time to get out, to stretch our legs, to step on some land mines. It's time to have an uncomfortable conversation, with Josh Szeps.

Jon Yates is an entertaining, whip smart writer and activist who studies how to build a more united society. He says the problem is not that we're different from eac...

“Why the Kids Aren’t Alright” with Dr Billy Garvey: How to be a Good Parent in the Modern Day
Knob... Josh, why did you trawl this guy up from last century?
Josh trying too hard to be critical of Harris. Just bc the general consensus has been that she did better than trump it wasn’t necessary to go completely the other direction. It was clearly a vast improvement on bidens debate. Of course she wasn’t perfect but Trumps performance was so much worse.
I was getting so pissed that my bluetooth headphones were cutting in and out on my hike listening to this podcast. Upon finishing it on my computer later I realized that my headphones are perfectly intact and the audio quality is just choppy as shit. Thank God
Walz reminds me of when Bart and Krusty pretend to be Chinese.
To all critics of the host: i think it's great from steve to face some difficult questions and discuss basic life philosophy questions. Much more insight and food for thought than a lot of 'yay steve' 'great story steve' 'tell us about the bear story steve'. Also i think he does it to draw more people into hunting appreciation.
Picking apart Kamala's performance is strange to me when Trump is the alternative. The bar for Trump is in hell and it doesn't feel like that is being acknowledged here.
Chas can't help but both sides all things US politics. And Josh plays contrarian to the left any chance he gets so this was never going to go any other way. Still a decent watch
Audios terrible sorry
I applaud the person who actually clicked upload despite the audio quality from Josh lol
My two favourite podcasters together! Josh would make a great guest on the PEP Podcast
Wow. The naïveté. You two think Trump wouldn't push for and sign a federal abortion ban, because he just said that? You probably don't think he will implement project 2025 either. All Trump does is lie and project. Good to hear voices from down under and I am a fan of both of you. But you are off the mark in this case.
Sorry but you both come across as biased against her. She has a plan and she's communicating it. Yes it's rehearsed, what is she'supposed to do? It's a debate where you prepare your responses and answers. And you're criticizing her for giving clear, understandable responses? What's your problem?
cope and seethe
@@noahlenten8360 what does that mean
@@aceee4386 im saying that you're upset and making an ad hominem claim of bias because you are personally offended by criticism
@@noahlenten8360 lol. Thank you for your explanation. I'm not American and truly don't have any personal or political investment. But I don't agree with their analysis of her responses. Cope and seethe......hmmm. 🤔. n/a
@@aceee4386 fair enough me neither to be honest
Wow, calm down people, yes the audio is a problem, it's clearly a technical issue. It's not their standard.
Let's not get lost here--Trump has no real policy for anything, much less IVF. When he says he does have a policy, it's really just some random thought he had while watching Fox News or something. Republicans themselves were taken off-guard by the suggestion that the federal government should provide free in-vitro fertilization to Americans. So Harris was perfectly safe in opening the door to discussing IVF policy.
I remember getting into the lift at the ABC with Chaz before the first Trump victory years ago. I asked him who he thought would win. He said Trump. I was shocked, but he was right. Let’s hope it’s different this time. Great chat from two smart and likable guys!
The taxpayer funded gender transition surgery for prisoners is actually real. Trump's problem is he's so wild he can't actually land any punches on a candidate that is eminently beatable.
The UK is a disaster and government now uses words like 'communities', openly acknowledging how segregated the country is, when addressing the most basic topics
Very interesting. Thank you:)
u for clarifying the situation we Jews ...are in NOW
Tim is just amazing in everything he does
Great stuff mate. Quality interview
I'd say the problem goes beyond lack-of-integration. There's even a kind of reverse integration enforced. Whereby British organizations are expected to adapt to accommodate other cultures, and to conspicuously celebrate them. And any criticism of multiculturalism is derided as racism.
THIS 👆
Lol Downer certainly is one of the most consequential Australian politicians in that he was foreign minister when Australia illegally spied on the Timor Lese government so that Woodside petroleum could better exploit them in negotiations over the Timor Gap oil fields. Of course it seemed strange that a nation state would commit international crimes to the benefit of a private company until Downer, after retiring from politics, took on a cushy consulting job for said company. The Australian government then charged the Asio whistleblower who leaked the scandal, along with his lawyer, under the intelligence act... Very consequential...
That's to be expected from the nepo from the Adelaide Establishment.
its such a shame a man of his standing and experience didn't bother to look at the nature of immigration, particularly from the subcontinent. They were brought to the UK for decades to specifically do the jobs, and the shifts, that nobody wanted to do. The night shift in the British factories was even called the "p@ki shift". They were marginalised for decades, and often weren't even allowed to rent/buy in areas other than those which became enclaves. Very similar to red lining in the US. And yet still many many "asian" immigrants did end up integrating. I am not saying England doesnt have problems, and the culture has not changed, and I think the more recent immigration issues are pathetically mismanaged. But Downer really should at least do a little bit of research before making these huge generalisations.
should they have been brought?
@@wristygymnast1384 yep. That's really what it boils down to.
@@Steve-xl1en I’m not sure this changes his arguments much though. It can simultaneously be true that it was a good idea to import workers from overseas. And that they were hardworking people. But that they were not well integrated culturally. As I understand it: More metropolitan and middle-class Pakistanis generally do integrate fairly well into the UK. But poorer people from the tribal regions generally do not. And are massively overrepresented in all sorts of heinous criminal activity.
@@andybrice2711 no. They should have returned.
I enjoyed this interaction
Josh, you are our own Lex Fridman ...articulate, fair,probing. You are expanding and challenging our world views . Thank you.
Agree about Josh, but I think you've got an idealized view of Lex, to be honest. I wouldn't exactly call him "probing" - did you see the softball interview he gave to Trump?
I get your point. But Trump and the like would not agree to be interviewed by anyone less, say ," respectful". To get it right would be very difficult. Lex admits that. What do you think about that aspect?@@razzle_dazzle
@@britchie7224 True, but once he was there, it would have taken _a lot_ to make him walk out. He didn't walk out of the interview at the black journalists' conference and a lot of the questions there were pretty tough, so I'm sure Lex could have gone quite a lot harder on him. He actually did ask a few reasonably tough questions (in between all the inane ones), but he didn't call Trump out when he started rambling or changed the subject to avoid answering. I feel like that was what people expected from Lex, too. Everyone on twitter and his subreddit predicted it was going to be like that, and indeed it was. I don't know where he got the reputation of being a good interviewer, to be honest. He's more of a platform for people to promote themselves.
Good points of course. I like that he interviews all sort of people. He does it his way and I personally think he's developing and challenging himself with the best of intention and I enjoy the less confrontational I guess. Each to their own of course in terms of when probing turns to confrontational. @@razzle_dazzle
80% of them don't care???? 60% of the 80% say....."I've never told anyone this but........" An insight into an experience that we all can have...Indigenous societies have a natural connection to ‘Source’, their ancestors, to country and Spirit. Their connection is part of their belief systems, and it becomes a natural part of their daily life at an early age. In a Christian Society you are brought up to believe that the “Great Fearful Man” upstairs will knock you down with a single blow if you mention Past Lives. You are expected to consult men in long dresses, who know feck all about the reality that is you as a human. there are moments where “that which can be known but not told..there is knowledge that cannot be explained” may appear.........
Was there a single dangerous idea mentioned here? I'm somewhat insulted by the branding: this is really mainstream stuff.
Interesting conversation Josh. But i found it fairly frustrating. Jon starts by pointing to societies development from hunter gatherers to farmers to factory workers, without looking deeper to understand that is where the roots of division lay. The conversation advances to the "choice problem"(The Matrix) without, once again, without looking deeper to understand why people make different choices. Imo the root to both of these inquiries start at the fact we're a product of our environment. As each environment is different it shapes difference in thinking. This produces different choices. This produces different societies. This is where Jon comes in with his potential reasoning & solution without dealing with the foundational dilemma. You can only make choices upon your understanding of the environment & society you find yourself. If those chiices go against someone from another environment a resolution must be found. If that's usable to be reached violence has been the historical solution to the problem. The stronger force of violence generally dictates the choice to be made. And on we continue in the same behavioral patterns as any species of aggressive primate never able to bridge the stupid choices that divide.
Most informed, thoughtful, unalarmed and substantive interview of Coleman I have ever seen.
For the algorithm
Great interview. I think the interviewer do a great job steel manning the progressive viewpoint to make good questions.
The poorer Mormons who mix with richer ones still have a huge commonality, the Church. And they trust each other much more inherently because of this connection.
So why occupy the land of others and invite a retaliation for the horrendous occupation and segregation meated to the 🍉 . Beggars believe how the oppressor is ALWAYS the victim!!!! Money is KING!!! Long live Satan 🎉 Forget Humanity!!! Money IS KING 🎉
I am such a fan girl for Mr Minchin ❤
I always listen through the podcast but you convinced me that I should check out Jon's red hair. I love your show Josh and the banter was great in this episode. It gave me a lot to think about. As a parent I'm often tempted to put my child in a private school, but it seems it might be good for them to be around many different children. I'll definitely keep this conversation in mind.
Why are the views so low on your show, Josh? It's great content. I smell a rat...
What a wonderful and thought provoking conversation. Thank you both
Loved this chat, thankyou genteel men...
David Baddiel in the audience!
Didn't see him! I like his brain.
Coleman is a great and a true intellectual. Thanks for the talk.
The first dude asking a question, what a pathetic, self-important dickhead (I hope he reads this).
You did the acknowledgement. Well done, Josh ...
Little weird that this is a different conversation than the one on the audio pod, but they’re making many of the same points. So did they just have this same convo in different cities?
fantastic conversation, thanks for posting. Shoe sponsor?
Great conversation. Thanks Josh for sharing it here!
Eventually I hope. Coleman is a cool guy.
Love Coleman. Thank you for posting this conversation, Josh!
After well over a decade of discussion about reparations it still seems that you are making A pay B for what C did to D.
I'm not sure about this "white countries have to be multicultural but black countries don't" thing. "White countries" often ARE multicultural and people want that recognised and respected in society and law. It is up to "black countries" to decide what they want to do, but they contend with less multiculturalism, or possibly less skin-colour related multiculturalism. This seems so trivially obvious I'm surprised Josh isn't pushing back.
I think I have a man-crush on Coleman. No homo!
