I would consider watching that hypothetical show, despite what I just said. Guess it depends on the guests and the topic.
My ma was on a debate team in college, I think she may have even been captain at one point

That’s how I got into it. We had a formal debate project in high school (none in college unfortunately, but I didn’t sign up for the team), and I went against a big nerd who was talking a lot of smack about how he was gonna win. Our topics and position (you have to be able to debate either side) were assigned without our say so. I was given anti-euthanasia. It is actually against my position (I am pro-euthanasia if the person has horrible medical quality of life only), yet I still won

Debate teams in college are incredibly competitive, national competitions and all that

Hmm.. it'd be cool if there was even 1 show on netflix or TV that was designed to have actual moderated debate among 2 intellectuals each week.



I guess I dont either the truth is I just like to shout at clouds and hope someone next to me agrees and if not I will scream at them.
they tried that after the war but marxists kept winning because it's an ideological cheat code our brains are bad brains

If we are measuring bravery in which youtube videos we watch or do not watch, I would like to reiterate the idea that the internet was a mistake

There's only so many hours in life, I won't waste any of them deliberately watching Ben Shapiro any more than you would, say, reading a large document detailing the vast amount of atrocities committed by capitalist regimes in comparison to the dubious claims made in the Black Book of Communism

I did watch that school shooter movie The Daily Wire picked up and distributed, it was alright. It was, uh, at a friend's house, yeah

I would like to reiterate the idea that taking a bite of the apple and subsequently putting on clothes, was a mistake.

Some creation stories say it was agriculture

Jib, have you ever read The Invisibles by Grant Morrison? iirc he has this concept within it called the "city-virus"

If you have not done so already, please do give it a read

No you dope it's just that you keep responding to things that you aren't watching. Which is dumb when the points you're raising are very often addressed in the things you're too busy to watch (but not too busy to post of course).

Like in the Matt Walsh video, right? I watched that one. Didn't even come close to addressing what I asked for, and then you got mad and moved on. Or the capitalist death toll document, which you asked for, and then didn't read.

So, yeah, get mad and call me names if you want, I am just picking up what you're putting down

I will!

I went on that rant a while back where said I think that you could rack up all the statistics, and prove that there is: more death, more sickness, more tragedy, in the system we have built of progress, medicine, and science, than there would be if we lived as animals eating fruit and veg and dancing and laughing.

To bad stupid god made 1 of the veg unravel the whole god damn thing... if he made it a friggen cute rabbit insated of an apple (which is the food she's supposed to eat in the first place) I bet that bitch wouldn't have took a bite of it.

I agree with some of what you have said, and as much as criticize government I like human beings on the whole. However, I think the main reason is there's more death is that there are far more humans alive now than there have ever been... I guess as far as we can know.

I mean, imagine how many mothers would die in childbirth if it weren't for modern medicine. Or we revert to antibiotics just not working, which I have read is generally on the way due in part to overuse of antibiotics in mass meat farms or whatever they are called. Some of this stuff is perfectly preventable, it's just not profitable (enough) to prevent.

I like society. I would not do well as a primitivist, wouldn't live real long. I have made my own prison hooch though!

Also, another suggestion if you have not seen it: Beforeigners. I don't want to spoil in case you have not, but subjects we both talk about come up and it's well written.
