      Sometimes listening to the rhetoric on either side of politics just depresses you. It's nice to see when someone is willing to give someone who agreed to be interviewed the chance to answer without trying to twist their words and actually show a basic level of decency to try understand the persons point of view rather than labelling them with something.
      I don't really write comments like these but credit where it's due. I think the corporate media could take a page out of Chris's book rather than trying to get people foaming at the mouth, which just causes a counter resentment from the opposing side.

      @ZyroZoro Місяць тому +1

      He's reasonable during these long-form conversations. When he's on his show or the news he lies and says some ridiculous things. He says things like mainstream Democrats are socialists. Anyone who is slightly educated on the topic knows that someone like Harris or Biden is not a socialist. So what am I to think about Ben when he spews garbage like that? I know he's smart, I know he's educated about it, I know he knows Harris isn't a socialist, so why does he call her a socialist?
      I can't read his mind, but it seems to me he's catering to his audience to make more money. (One reason why I think this is the explanation is because his shows are littered with ad-reads everywhere, and it seems like he'll do them for almost anything.) He's a grifter. Now, he's not as bad as others, he won't do literally anything for money, but he has no problems spewing blatant lies.

      I used to be very against “judgmental” people as well until I realized the paradox that creates. I was being judgmental about those who are judgmental.
      There is no escape from making judgements about people. Everyone is judgmental. The question is whether your judgments are accurate or not

Yes we all are inherently judgmental but we can also choose to be open minded or admit mistakes and it’s a choice some people choose not to do. People who watch what they say and choose their words wisely make the choice to not be openly judgmental.

      Also,Jews unlike other religions especially Christianity, don't spread their religion or like converts etc. they actively push away would be converts actually. That's why the ultra Orthodox Jews are so untouched from the outside influences and why their extremely successful per percentage of people.

      @@AlexSanchez-gd7wb Absolutely, I loved the Exodus series and Ben was one of my favorites in that. I think he could do well with his own series on it. Just based on how successful Exodus and Genesis by Jordan were, there's clearly an audience! And of course it's not about proselytizing but just teaching perspectives. Actually it's a Jewish perspective that it's Jew's job as God's chosen people to bring heaven to earth for everyone, and be teachers of others. I think teaching the concepts contains a lot of wisdom including for non Jews to learn from and benefit from. And definitely a big fan of everyone who maintains the customs and rejects modern cultural influences, plus, ultimately they will repopulate the word when everyone else is too woke to reproduce (half a joke, but it's kind of a thing). Whether it's Orthodox Jews, Amish, Mennonites, or any other deeply religious community, they are having children at a much higher rate! And maintaining a lot of effective ways of life.

      I've commented to my family that there are a lot of interests that collide in America. I think it's an extension of our position in the globe that is a vestige of competence (ethical and political) that we no longer have, and as such there is a lot of overseas worry.
      And yeah, it's all batshit crazy, largely because the left has a vested interest against engaging in anything resembling a decent conversation.

    Wow, I am really impressed with Ben Shapiro. I consider myself a sort of refugee from the left. The Israel question and the trans insanity is what pushed me away. I feel politically homeless right now. I feel like I can't vote for republicans because I am disabled and low-income and they are always trying to cut benefits that I rely on to survive, and also I believe that abortion should be legal for the first trimester. But the (far) left's positions on Israel and trans "women" invading female spaces are disgusting. I do know that I've been listening to a lot of conservative thinkers and I agree with a lot of what I hear. I am really impressed that Ben doesn't just follow the tribe and push ridiculous conspiracy theories, he bases his opinion on the evidence, not ideology. I very much respect and appreciate that, such a rare quality in today's world! I greatly admire someone who is REASONABLE!!! I'll be looking for more of Ben's stuff!

    • @M98747
      @M98747 Місяць тому +9

      Welcome aboard!
      The current Republican position is that abortion is 100% a state-by-state issue and that the Federal government shouldn't control it. Also, Trump and JD are in favor of increasing benefits for lower and working class Americans. JD himself came from a broken home with drug addiction, so he's very close to the issue.
      I used to consider myself a moderate, and I still don't call myself a Republican, because I don't vote for every Republican. I didn't move to the right. The left just went way too far, and I can't see myself ever voting for a single Democrat as long as they maintain their current positions.

      The unfortunate case of Ben is that he is legendary for owning people in debate, which makes him seem like a really aggressive, unlikeable guy. But he's actually a pretty deep thinker with some (even if I don't agree with all of them) very clear, well thought out opinions and moral positions. Definitely worth checking out his other interviews and podcast if you want to try expanding your own comprehension. Helps that he spits information so fast, too 😉

      I think the problem is that Ben takes Genesis as largely figurative. I'm pretty sure he believes in evolution, so were Adam and Eve real or are they just mythological representatives of humanity? I know he has stated the flood was restricted to Mesopotamia if it happened at all. His audience (myself included) is largely Christian and takes Genesis literally. Adam and Eve were real people, the flood was global, diversity of languages began at the tower of Babel, etc.

    It is extremely rare for an individual to have an IQ of 190, as IQ scores are distributed on a bell curve (normal distribution) with an average score of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. An IQ of 190 is more than six standard deviations above the mean. This places such a person in the top 0.00000001% of the population, or about 1 in 76 million people.
    Given the global population of approximately 8 billion people, this suggests that only around 100 individuals worldwide might have an IQ of 190 or higher. However, it is important to note that IQ tests have their limitations, particularly in measuring such extreme levels of intelligence.

    Chris, random tangent
    The little blue progress bar when you are reading for a sponsor?
    I don't know how long you've been doing that (maybe for forever and I only just noticed), but it's really helpful
    Good idea!
