      The founding fathers incredible foresight is based upon upholding their words with both literal and interpretative meanings, unfortunately leading to judicial arbitration of their words. Unlike religions which split into sects based upon their beliefs, that remedy is not as simple for the differences of interpretation of the words of the forefathers. Governments 'game' the meanings by redefining and inventing new words to work around the obstacles of the forefather's words. "Vaccine", "Malinformation", "woman" are only the beginning of pushing aside the U.S. Constitution. Who will be held to account for bastardizing it? Certainly not either corrupted political party.

      He assessed what's wrong with Sam probably more accurately than anyone I've heard. Someone has to say these things - Sam has garnered too much influence in the world of "intellectuals" to continue espousing such verifiable falsehoods and refusing to admit being wrong. He truly does have a childlike dogmatism in his belief in institutions, experts, and the infallibility of his reason. That he's soured multiple friendships with respectable intellectual peers perfectly encapsulates his issues. I hate to be cruel, but Sam strikes me as the sort of person who has never experienced serious physical violence in his entire life, couched away in books and academic halls from childhood and never getting hurt or humbled.

Sam's ego, imo, is a big part of his inability to surrender to the obvious truths before him. Plus, he still has enough cover by way of keeping specific company to comfort and postpone any doubts he may have.

I promise you that last bit is not a phenomenon unique to team blue.

      Which warning gets attached depends on the content. There was a lot of talk about fission power right at the beginning. The sanctioned narrative is focused on renewables, because solar panels and windmills come from abroad. Nuclear is likely to actually solve climate change in a reasonable time frame AND be good for the domestic economy, so they must be squashed by the U.N.

      Actually, had it not been for FDR, there would not have been a large middle class in America, as America had long been a fascist State. He, FDR, though no saint by any stretch, did stand up to the establishment, of which he was apart, so that ordinary Americans could at least get a piece of the economic pie. Examine all the progressive legislations. America lost its soul and a great part of its freedom and democracy, after its failed attempt at building a more equitable society during the Reconstruction Era.

      I've learned that at the top of the comment section, there is a toggle switch for top/newest, and sometimes there is a 3rd choice of "timed." If you slide to the newest, you see a lot more comments. I'm not sure if this is a volume control or content control, but I've found my comments hidden in this manner. Seems they allow free-flowing comments for a time period, then categorize and filter. There also seems to be an aspect of likes playing into the filter. So what you end up with is a whole lot of liked, positive comments under every video, unless you slide that toggle.. and that's just what you can see.

    Exactly, terrorism is not only on the rise because of the definition is now different, but now the demand for such terrorism far outweighs the real supply.

      Depends on the interpretation. As with any historical document, words change if not in meaning, in shades of meaning over time and you have to read in historical context to gain a full understanding of what's being said. Providing context is a very necessary form of interpretation.

    44:00 WELL DONE, MICHAEL! That epic takedown of the shortsighted, elitist snob, Sam Harris, was SPOT. ON. (Something that Brett shouldve done a year(s?) ago -esp after he accussed him &Heather of "audience capture", greed, obsessiveness &more, but i digress)
    I was a "follower"/fan of Sam since his Batman's "b/C iT's RaCisT iT's gRoSs!" days, but b/t his terminal TDS & his disgusting, obsequious covid &political takes, I've had to completely disengage from him -as many others have. ...Not that he's even noticed from that hiiigh horse &his obsessive worrying over what the mainstream elites &intelligentsia think of him. 🙄

      My first encounter with Sam was years ago an interview with Douglas Murray, where he sanctimoniously criticized Douglas for going on a Podcast who had been on a Podcast with some one Sam had decided was morally abhorant. I next encountered him recently on Triggernometry. And that episode has to be heard to be believed.

    I don’t think that Bret’s personal anecdotal experience regarding increased antisemitism is a legitimate barometer of it, especially given his increasing public persona and anonymous interactions on the internet vs. his past face to face interactions with people

    • @tonynoonan3723
      @tonynoonan3723 Рік тому +1

      Exactly,he is being very intellectually dishonest here,using a personal anecdote as projecting a general trend,
      He must also be aware that the accusation of antisemitism has been extensively weaponized to falsely discredit political opponents in many countries as a deliberate and organized strategy.

    • @smelltheglove2038

    1. The government does not have freedom of speech in the sense that is granted in the first amendment
    2. Companies can censor whatever they want within the user agreement they make you agree with before using their services.
    3. The speech that can or cannot be censored has nothing to do with it's content. The government shall not infringe it. Period.
