Brilliant

Unfortunately politicians feed off of drama. Being a Scottish man who is bombarded by the silliness of both American and English politics, I completely agree with you.

It could still be like that, if we remembered our old addages - things like "but words will never hurt me" and "I may not agree with you but I will defend your right to say it" in place of our new ones: "words are violence" and "if you don't understand then I'm not going to explain it to you."

The problem is in politics is that people have allowed governments to have the power to take resources from one group of people to give to another. In the conversation, neither man loses any resources with an unresolved disagreement. In politics, most often, the minority loses (at a minimum) their money or rights to supply enforcement and execution of someone else's desire.

The intelligent person is flexible in their beliefs and uses debate to learn and grow. A fool believes they have all the answers and uses debate to force their opinions. The cornerstone of intelligence is the ability to change one's mind.

Here there is respect. Politicians today lack respect and that is what makes them failures.

Agreed

Only the calm,collected nature of Stephen forces Peterson to let the message across. As usual, Peterson has nothing to say that he can defend. He lets out ‘there may not be a god’ His aggressive nonsense only impresses those who don’t pay attention. No wonder Peterson has such a following amongst the ill educated. He truly believes in nothing, trlying on his passionate voice to get attention. Listen to few of his talks with intelligent people and u start to wonder how he made it so far. Well done Stephen. Respect.

Its down to manners, respect and a desire to learn from both of them.

Two people who yes are intelligent but also incredibly knowledgeable and articulate and these qualities give way to a wonderful dialogue. Anyone who considers Jordan an authority and in any way intelligent, must be willing to listen and hear his arguments without mindlessly dismissing the outright and logical argument for the evidence for a diety. To do that is stupidity at best and sheer obstinacy at worst.

​@@FmannnnI wish Christopher could have debated Jordan . Rip Hitch😢❤

​@@FmannnnI love how they would call each other "old horse" "old crumpet" ❤

That he cant believe people take Peterson seriously.

I do...He just thinks he's ultimately above God, because by saying what kind of a God allows suffering, well it goes back to the disobedience of our ancestral parents who did not obey God in the Garden of Eden. It is a simple as that. Today, there is so much evil and so much sin, I only have to watch televsion to see yet another man has killed a wife, an ex-girlfriend, called feminicide, that I do believe in a God who loves us and wants us to repent. There have been saints who loved God, giving their life over Christ in a consecrasted life, yet did not hold it against God, and eventually died too. I can't wait to get to Heaven because I have been baptised and hang on the Christ's apron strings for He claimed that anyone who sees Him sees the Father, and that noone goes to the Father except through Him. I accept all that He did, for He had 12 Apostles who were his eyewitnesses, more than one can say regarding others who rise up and claim to be a prophet of sorts. Well, Almighty God, appeals to humanity's faculty of reason to preannounce in whom we are to believe, so we don't miss him when he comes. The other stumbling block is that most other religions can't get their collective head around a God who can have a select race, in the Jews, the Israelites, with whom He communicated via his prophets, think Isaia, Moses, and so on. I pin my hopes in the religion of Love. No greater love is there than that a man would give his life for others, even when we were still sinners. That's Christ, no other guru, which when one thinks on it, is the concoction of a fertile mind. Sometimes force was used to drive someone to adhere to that philosophy and ideology which is none other than an evil regime. And, women are usually the ones who come off worst. Subjugation is real, and it is still happening today. Christianity is not about subjugating but liberating all people so we can be with Him and the angels and the saints in Heaven, once and for all. Amen to that. So ecstatic for this prospect.

The match they are playing out is like a game of tennis, the same game being played out with the majority, and the minority of the entire human race.

@@bertiesaurus that’s a very good point. The Munk debate that featured them both was very enjoyable for that reason

It felt like Jordan was being assertive with his claims at first, and Fry who is a well-read intellectual actually digested what was said and picked it apart. And that's why it seemed like Jordan was changing the subject. I'd hate to see how Jordan Peterson would be humiliated by the late Hitchens or perhaps Richard Dawkins.

This is exactly how our members of parliament behave in the House of Commons in the UK.

Myzaffar Ahmad. In Malta where I live it is the same story. Healthy arguments are as rare as finding a chunk of gold in a Highway.

The irony is, the moment someone has to raise their voice or make fun of the opponent, they have already lost the argument because people that can't win an argument, usually try to deflect and to try and change the topic of the argument to something else that isn't related to the topic at hand. So take comfort in that when an argument goes that way, you've won that argument and just let them rant like a loon. It also helps if you understand a lot of psychology as it's remarkable how much information people give away by their body language, how they say things and other little hints.

It's funny because Jordan resorts to insulting and dismissing those who disagree with him all the time lmao. He has a whole channel where he professionally whines... about intentionally getting himself banned on Twitter lmfao.

AHMAD. These intellectuals discuss various topics out of curiosity, a desire to learn from one another - that is what makes them so interesting. They do not engage in argument (as you call it) in order to win but to learn. Only a proud man wants to win - that is why he will always make a fool of himself. How silly. What is there to win? All you want to do is show off how clever you are or at least show that you are cleverer than the other person and that is just vanity.

​@@donmongooseUsing big words doesnt make you intelligent. Peterson has gone utterly insane as of the last few years and most people can see it

@@Pigeon249 I don't think he's intelligent because he uses big words, I think he's intelligent because he can understand and converse on numerous complex subjects and offer meaningful explanations for different things. I'll certainly agree I find myself disagreeing with him a lot more than I used to a few years ago, but that doesn't mean he's suddenly turned stupid.

Because sometimes he is (though it's not that common, honestly, so I wouldn't say, 'always'). As it turns out, Fry has the same problem/thing when dealing with really serious subjects (God/debates, for example). More common for Jordan, though. Of course, one reason is that Fry, and others, are not as emotionally attached/serious about it, so they don't have to worry as much: they just say, 'God is evil' and walk away, whereas, Jordan says, 'man is evil' and sits down. Big difference between those two frameworks and levels of depth. I saw Fry get very upset once, for example, when he was saying that, 'we don't need pain/suffering to know/be happy -- you can just be happy'. Of course, that's completely incorrect from a biological/objective standpoint, and I also think a psychological/subject standpoint, as well. That would be his 'soft liberal' coming out and his shallow bias towards everything religious, including the basic reality itself: life is suffering -- and to know happiness, you must also know pain, otherwise, you have no sense of what 'happiness' even means, or why these states exist and matter, nor their purpose; in fact, the problem with leftist types to begin with is they think the purpose of life is to just be mindlessly happy, even at the cost of the future itself and stability, etc. Very different frameworks here. And Jordan is extremely invested, where most public thinkers/speakers are not (Jordan is also just more emotional than a lot of the leftist public thinkers/speakers, so they are much more without emotion overall). Not really a bad thing, though, as it's partly what helps Jordan be who he is, of course, and to do his job, and care about it (for the last 45 years, anyway).

Well didn't you hear him? He had dealt with a lot of severe health issues and its very clear the pain from that has scarred him physically and emotionally.

@@Cerealcasual I think its also because he is a clinical psychologist and deals with people in their pain.

It's his go-to credibility bandaid when he knows his argument is on thin ice.

@@Banjomute lol

'So then the question is what is the appropriate attitude, given that the argument that you make is an actually extraordinarily powerful argument, and I don't know the answer to that, but I do know, I think, that resentment and anger, and even the motive that would make you want to say that to God himself I think, that's probably not helpful. I came to that with great difficultly, I've had my reasons to be angry, especially recently, because I am suffering from a lot of pain and it makes me resentful and angry and wanting to shake my fist, but I found on intense consideration that there was nothing in that that didn't make it worse and therefore that must be wrong, even though it's justifiable.' He said this on May 18, 2021. In March 2021 Jordan had his second Saturn return, (activating his natal Saturn-South Node/Mars/Neptune T-square), and Neptune square his Sun, followed in April by Uranus activating the same T-square. Ouch. When you look at the severity of the hard aspects in his and his wife's birth charts you gain a lot of understanding regarding the wisdom of this couple, it is to a large extent wisdom gained from pain. So, here we have two brilliant men completely oblivious about an extremely important aspect of the nature of the universe they live in, discussing their interpretations of the nature of the universe, while millions stare in awe, goggle-eyed at their astoundingly impressive levels of intellectual prowess. Just reinforcing the value of the gift of astrology we have been given.

Sorry to respectfully disagree, this wasn't a healthy conversation. Jordon Peterson took a quote out of context and attacked it for being morally wrong. The first half of this is them talking past each other. Jordon Peterson struggles immensely to imagine a world where a god doesn't exist where Stephen fry can easily switch between the two ideologies. When JP lays his arguments about whether we have to make meaning for ourselves or ordained by God, Fry just laughs in his face because it's such a stupid statement. All of his supporting arguments end up being calls to authority, ie god. Something that Stephen already clearly stated he doesn't believe in. I'm gonna have to go back and watch some of those lectures again with a critical ear because fuck there's something really slanted about the things he says today

Peterson is an intellectual lightweight in comparison to Stephen Fry. Surprised he didn't start crying again like most of his recent conversations. Man lost it after his benzo addiction.

Jordan Peterson and Stephen Fry having a mutually beneficial conversation is DOPE 😎. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

Its sad to see how jordan has deteriorated following his traumas and struggle with addiction. The jordan of two/three years ago was far less agenda-driven. His level of emotion and nervous-energy here made it more of a battle than a genuine conversation. Fry clearly greatly respects petersons impressive intelligence because here i see thst fry is humouring jordans borderline-neurotic intensity. A discussion between these two three years ago would have been a more healthy one

@@phantasticmrphasma9874 Peterson has always been a very obvious grifter. That you didn't catch on until recently isnt anyone's fault but your own.

Agreed. There was the salons of not so old in the bigger scheme. Were critical thinking was encouraged. Not so much in our time. Does not fit with the distract and disarm agenda of the..

Absolutely agree but sadly it IS not always so.

@@ElShmiablo no he hasn't.. That you think he is reveals how weak and delusional you are

that's why I clicked on it, having heard enough Peterson to have little respect for him. I for one could use more of Fry's restraint and gentlemanly behavior.

M C I urge you to make new friends as these conversations are nowhere _near_ extinction. These conversations happen everywhere every day! Most of us don't have a UKposts channel to put them on display in a way most people would want to hear, but they happen. I absolutely adore Stephen and have loved his work for years. I truly enjoy Peterson and his classroom lectures; what an amazingly empathetic and intelligent and passionate teacher.

It's really not, you're just looking in all the wrong places.

God didn’t bring suffering into existence. That was Satan’s doing when he tricked Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, which brought evil and discord into existence. So if you wanna blame someone for ruining one’s life or making life unfair, that’s something you should only blame Satan for and not God.

It's a conversation with a intellectual, and the other person is Peterson.

trump is gone. 👅

Absolutely. I enjoyed every minute of the full interview. When those extraordinary men speak, ordinary men like me shut up and listen. With joy ;)

Well, one brilliant man. Peterson’s schtick is initially impressive but over the years you realize there’s not much depth there.

@@jtl909 It was never vaguely impressive to me. He's a raving idiot.

Exactly. Many people lack the ability to engage in social interactions period much less mutually beneficial conversations with those who will disagree with them.

Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history.

The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

Now you have reality TV and other debauched idiocy. 3m views for a globally accessible video that was uploaded a year ago isn’t much to shout about.

Jordan Peterson would certainly like to prove the other person wrong if he was able to, but he simply cannot because his arguments are not that good for the existence of a deity. Historically, whenever a freethinker and a religious person argue the existence of God, the free thinker gets the best of the argument. This is not a criticism of the religious person but rather because the religious person thinks they have knowledge when in fact they only have opinion and thus cannot cogently argue their position.

Yea... Maybe he should bring up Jesus, and how he is the only way.. see how that goes.

It’s almost like they’re not trying ‘win’, and that they’re more concerned with the refinement of their own positions.

Not quite. It was simply the Socratic method at work. The idea being to draw out underlying suppositions and figure out what best fits the empirical data provided by both parties in the debate when all of that empirical data is looked at as a whole. In general, more often than not, one person is right and the other wrong. (occasionally, it turns out to be purely relative and down to a matter of perspective). If they're both clever, the participants both learn something from the exchange. One gets the step up provided by replacing incorrect knowledge with correct knowledge and the other gains conformation in the accuracy of their own knowledge. In that, it is, in a way, about winning. About being right. More importantly, figuring out what is right and what is wrong. It's why people debate to begin with. Its also why so many find it hard to debate without arguing and being salty.

I think they both won. And we, listeners, got all the spoils as well.

Like Jordan Peterson had to worry about when debating that dimwit Matt Dilahunty

Its very clear when JP is talking to a friend vs a hustler.

I don't know. I'm growing kinda tired of the "I don't know the answer to that" and the "That's certainly a good question to ask" and the "Well that's an entirely valid point of view" rhetoric. Maybe this is just me manifesting the "Gen Z have lowest attention spans so far" statistic, but it's getting kinda annoying. JBP is obviously aware of the vitriolic "4chan" side of the internet with how he talks about comedians and free speech, so he's gotta be aware of what he's doing. And it's not like I don't get that poignancy-aversion and self-suppression is a problem but I feel like the doing opposite isn't the solution. All it does is chase away the people who need to hear it the most. It's like he doesn't care if he only preaches to the choir. It's also giving off a LOT of subtle boomer vibes, kinda like when that eric weinstein guy said he didn't like michael malice cus he was a troll.

The difference, perhaps, is that this was set up to be a conversational session, as opposed to a Harris/Dilahunty etc which designed as an adversarial session.

Old benzo brain never has a good answer for religious questions

But ultimately I come back to that no matter what, I trust Him and I' know I'm going to live with him forever. The struggle is always about trying to understand why instead of accepting what is.

Pick up a resource on the human condition. You’ve identified what’s a problem for you; makes for a good time to identify and work on a solution

No worries. Both of them would say the same.

In Star Trek TNG, Lt Cmdr Data says something along the lines of "The beginning of wisdom is "I do not know"." So admitting your ignorance (which considering these two, I'm not surprised - I don't know much about Dostoyevski (sp?) either), is a sign of true wisdom. Don't beat yourself up. After all, it's entirely possible that you know stuff that they don't. (Actually, . . . Petersen maybe. I think Fry knows every single fact ever. Bloody Smartarse that he is! 😂😂)

That's just manners.

I used to think that too, that was before he told those poor boys that they had no right to complain about the sexual abuse they suffered, and that he was definitely not biased against such victims. This was after he was nominated for an award but did not win. That is the measure of Mr Fry to me, spiteful and bitter - without responsibility but a fairly good actor when the money is good.

@@starsloyalist look at it again, though. In some instances SF is clearly indulging JP whose agenda seems to be to validate a Christian God and pander to the right. He quotes Dostoyevsky - conservative reactionary in many ways, himself - and engages in what appears to be considered thought, but he doesn't actually say anything of substance and doesn't provide any real evidence to support his argument - particularly in the narrow Christian sense he is endeavouring to promote. I too once thought, JP had something of value to say, but his initial popularity went to his head it seems and he actually sees himself as a philosopher or a major intellect. Hes neither, really. He a self help writer. Which, if it helps people, is a good thing. I get the sense that he is being tolerated by SF who appears to be considering JPs points out of decency rather than because he finds them challenging

Spot on. I'm usually a fan of Peterson but he tried to bully his way through this exchange at the start. Stephen Fry is obviously not his usual audience, so this tactic fell flat pretty quick. I'm not sure what Peterson's beliefs are in relation to god but it seems like he is really trying to find a way to reconcile some form of belief he has but his logical mind is fighting him on it.

It’s nice to see Peter in a conversation with someone on his level. Too many times we see him talking to morons and it gets tiresome.

You are sad God created so much evil in the world?

@@imaliazhar yep, I think that's what they are saying?

@@jamescarla26 I find it very difficult to not be angry knowing how easy it is for Him to remove all evil from the world.

@@imaliazhar How can "he" do anything if they aren't real?

@@ElShmiablo The original comment suggests they are not angry at God (if he exists), they are just sad because of the evil. What I was trying to understand is how can they not be angry at Him given how easy it is for Him to cleanse the world of evil.

It’s uplifting. It CAN be done. Indoctrination is our true enemy.

That is precisely what I was thinking. When a person like Jordan tries to make a case for something one must ultimately accept on faith, what else can he do but quote philosophers and authors.

Did he plead that when he was convicted for fraud?

@@wolfthequarrelsome504 how can u plead being considered and a great human being? That's not how court works. U either plead guilty or not guilty. Maybe you have never been to court

They're not smarter than you, they have a combination of being well read, educated and being taught how to critique a point, genetically they may have done a little better on the intelligence scale too, you can learn that it just takes a lot of time and effort if you didn't come up trumps on the intelligence scale. Time most people don't have because they need to make money to live

​@@philstaples8122 omg the trump derangement syndrome is literally everywhere.

They both have their own ignorance's, like us all.

Just more well read, there's a difference. I been watching these guys many years and was at first confused how they get praised for being geniuses..truth is, I know they are no smarter than I am... I've debated many people over the years. But these guys have dug more into subjects and histories I haven't...and love to watch them hash it out...hear the opinions and logic, see what they can teach me. Let's say your a builder...It's safe to assume at BUILDING, you look like a genius to them.. No one KNOWS EVERYTHING. We all have our interests and subjects we know more than the majority about...and others where we need to shut up and listen. Don't underestimate yourself.

​@@lavenderknot6715 Trump is also a word, not just a name...look again.

It was in terms of debate a one sided affair, but instructive and entertaining.

He made a few podcasts, they're on Spotify. 10/10 would recommend

I think he's overrated, I wouldn't consider him an intellectual heavyweight he's just well read.

If he was an intellect he wouldn't be an atheist.

@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 who would you call an intellectual heavyweight then?

" don't necessarily agree with each other?" Disagree about what?

@@koitorob essential JP was trying to argue on behalf of religion. It didn't work very well because how do you argue that bone cancer is fine as long as we don't let ourselves get angry about it.

True. It’s rather comical to see an intelligent person like Jordan or Ben Shapiro suddenly become flustered when arguing faith. Life experience and facts are thrown out the window and they seem to mostly rely on quotes from great philosophers or authors.

Isn’t it odd that towards the end god disappeared and the conversation turned to a sort of nature over nurture investigation
