I’m a 13 year old girl, and I just started to read the book collaboration from both of you. I’ve only read the 1st few pages about how this book came to be, and I’m already captivated in its storytelling. Im not sure if either of you will ever see this message, but nonetheless, great job!

this is so funny lol 😂 😂 thank you world for creating this absurdist treasure

This man in the jacket has had his brain replaced with bolts and cow manure.

I was expecting the tax dollars were used in a better analysis, rather that a conservative Christian crying...

TVs are a BIAS the very rich wanted the working-class to hear .

You are right. We the people do NEED to do just that. There is more American first then them.

Glenn beck is a barely-sentient grease stain who demonstrates with every breath just how little thought he puts into his thinking. What an absolute wisp of a man

Penn for president. I never realized how sharp and smart he is. Excellent speaker.

He didn’t even read the book let alone get the point of the book right….

WTF did I just watch? That was super weird and awkward

WE BELIEVE IN NOTHING LEBOWSKI NOTHING!!! AND TOMORROW WE COME BACK AND CUT OF YOUR JOHNSON

As a nihilist, I did not believe in eugenics until I watched this video. Please do not procreate Glenn Beck.

Halfway through the book, the entire time he compares people to demonic idealism, stripping it of christianity or any former religion but takes an atheist approach. He makes the argument that people's interpretation of demonic and evil origin comes from the human race. Although he strips God out, I think he makes a fair point there is immoral and moral with the human psyche. I would read the book to be fair. Not to be a tyrannical Christian, I did find the constant good vs.evil irritating because it felt small minded. Heclearly showed knowledge on Catholic doctrine. I could see how Christians could feel attacked, I would have liked if he took a psychological approach rather than a historical approach, the anthropological part was interesting because it pulled on common threads of the human psyche though. I don't think it was more persuasion but his attempt to express that humanity as much as it is good can be evil and all of which is ironically biblical. Can't remember the bible verse, however it went something like ' man is dust made flesh, and to the dust he shall return' referencing God's superiority over the world. It seems ironic to me coming from someone who is an atheist may have shed light not only the devil's psyche but of the evils of men that the bible warns of but in only the most modern sense. It made me consider that true evil is in fact indifference and the fall of men and angels is the lack of care or concern for what is good and put themselves before God. This directly can be lead in to modern consumerism, over consumption, the environment, and what it does to the people's lives affected by these decisions in the most noon day devil way. In this way if lead by fear (which he warns as the most dangerous) I could see where one might look to what is stripped of the warnings of the bible if their Christian. To be honest I can't see this book leading to socialism or communism or eugenics because in this nihilistic view, all humans are capable of non human thought or the idea of an in human pure evil and for this it would be hard for one to trust the government because trust ultimately would be viewed as a deception. Anarchy and a survivalist mode of thinking where chaos may always be the constant would be more like it.

Guy’s got a point.

Thomas Paine, the guy who wrote "The Age of Reason"? I doubt that he would be your fan. XD

I was tempted to like this video because it is so funny. XD

Most progressists don't read Eugene Thacker. Hell, most progressists would probably hate the equally pessimistic David Benatar. XD What the hell is Beck talking about? XD

Nihilism leaves no room for the concept of "bettering the species." As to this philosophy the concept means nothing. Why people like to link nihilism and eugenics this way? XD "Lack of meaning and morals means that we can't have interracial marrige." XD

I really doubt that Jay Z read that book. XD

Darwin and nihilism. XD It already hilarious. XD "Nazism was caused by Arthur Schopenhauer." XD

At 12:30 Beck just starts straight up lying.

Boy, this sounds like a fun watching. XD

I can't believe CNN used to have Glenn on.

Advice: if you come to get some insights about Peter's book or so, stop the video....this video is misleading and useless because of the interviewer.

He sounds like someone who didn’t actually read the book

I'm a constitutional libertarian, except I think we can afford universal healthcare, social safety nets, and tax progressivity. I believe these are necessary to maintain a low crime level, and to truly allow for equality of opportunity. I do not believe in guaranteeing "equality of outcome". We can have *some* social programs w/o abandoning free markets.

It is not polite to cut one's speak.

ANARCHO SYNDICALIST COMMUNE

Pathetic - just counter the specific arguments & stop flailing in idiocy.

Glenn Beck acting like a real person? Who knew.

Oh, shit. He's got a bowtie and everything lmao

You guys are giving the occupy Wall Street turds too much credit (intellect). The reason they are hard to place on the chart is that their positions aren’t their own. In other words, they have no idea why they believe they way they do. They are just lazy opportunists who are being used by smarter people on both extremes of the chart.

Central problem here is the misconception that the inheriant good within people for doing the right thing comes from a belief. A belief in an untruth that can easily be explained. I think what MG is looking at is insecurity of man. Giving up to your biggest weakness of not knowing

Hey Glenn, have you found any new evidence for the existence of God since you met Penn 30 years ago? Oh wait, you didn't have any evidence back then....Sorry I forgot, Donald Trump is now your god.

The answer is written above the interviewer’s head. 🌟

What a smart man

@gazilionPT (Wrong)the spirit of the Lord is the only way he won. Yeah David had a lot of insight from all the wars he fought in as a Shepherd. WTF You and Malcolm would make a great team.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ (LDS like Glenn) and Penn gets it. I would vote for him in a second.

Washington was not a christian. He never claimed to be and refused to take communion and generally used Deist terminology.

Only one of these two is real. U decide which one.

Is Beck ever stupid and the point about past presidents not calling themselves Christians. Every atheist knows this. Christians have enjoyed the majority position for so long that they didn’t need to pay attention to facts and they see that as human rights are fought for and society changes they see their hold on the majority power slipping and that’s seen as being oppressed. How ironic. For millennia they have been the oppressors and when an inch of power is taken back, they scream oppression

The gay rights issue is not about progressives being oppressive, authoritarian and shutting down free speech. It’s a fucking Human Rights issue god damn it. Beck and chowder heads made the same argument back in the 50s and 60s about race. The racists in the south said “don’t impose your way of life and politically correct speech about race mixing”

Watch Epstein mop the floor with enviro fanatic Bill McKibben: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpDEaoWGZa9qhqM

Glenn Beck is like the perfect charlatan. Incredible.

Beck is someone that can have a conversation like this about all coming together as constitutionalists and as peoplem, then turn around and talk shit about the LGBT community(gay marriage, transgender rights, etc) as well as point at the usual Republican-centric villains(video games, tv, music, etc) and make everyone involved in those things out to be evil or left-wing nutjobs. He says what he thinks will make him money. He doesn't actually believe the things he says, and I say this as someone who used to listen to him every day and believed he was a moral person who was, at times, simply misguided. He's not. He knows what he's doing. He's rich because of it.

If you differenciate between left and right you have to differenciate between ideology and regimes. The communist ideology has very little to do with communist regimes. Also the nazi ideology had many characteristics of the left. What you get from this, is that a political specrum is more like 2 dimensional than one dimensional. It just cannot be described by "left" or "right".

I snicker everytiime i hear Epstein....Remember Juan Epstein from Welcome back Kotter?

Glenn beck is a toolbox

Hi Alex what do you think of this www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/climate/global-warming-is-about-destroying-capitalism/?fbclid=IwAR2oxkh8YILzZXbUXSEQcItHOCSX9LWkKonh3yhwBChBswxkvmbr63Jjwk4
