Well were Stephen Fry falls short (whom I deeply admire btw. ) is where this cancel culture debate is coming from. People who know youtube and internet culture know about gamer gate and how the right and the sceptics created this big spectacle of the offended left. With every game-review of a gamer who said "it would be nice if you could play a female character that is less objectified to the male gaze" ten videos sprung up with outrage that feminazis want to ban the said game and on and on. It became youtube culture and youtube money to make videos on over the top feminist outrage and it found it's way to even serious newspapers. Well in fact, where there are clearly some terrible twitter storms (augmented by trolls and bots), in real life, cancellation was mostly about not giving a platform to hate speech or scientific lies. (Do we need a climate-change denier on every panel when we know by fact that he's in the wrong, or can we talk about different ways to deal with it?) Which is valid. Civil discussion on the left is alive and well, it's the right who claim victimhood while simultaneously working on taking away womens rights and rights of racial and sexual minorities away.

Capitalism doesn’t discriminate against sex or race, only against the poor. If you don’t hire the best people or sell to as many people as possible or explore every niche market there is then you will fail. Yes we do need a climate change denier on climate change panels so that he/she can be well and truly demolished in a civil and rational evidence based discussions and debate.

Being a rabid bigot, on the other hand, can be given to psychosis, just like being a religious extremist can. P.S. Genetic 'coding' has little to do with alcoholism or drug addiction. And it's yet unclear to what extent it determines likelihood of mental illness. I appreciate you're a moron - that may or may not be genetically determined - but assuming you can read - can you? - you shoud go read a textbook on genetics before coming on here to spout your nonsense.

Watching this in 2022 as a lifelong leftie and a few things he said nearly made me cry. Mostly when he said the success of the right is mostly down to the colossal failure of the left. I agree. For the last two elections in the UK I have canvassed for the Labour Party in the north of England in some pretty working class traditional Labour areas. They look at the left and what they see is people who are passionate about telling them that they're all racist, sexist and that it's wrong to even discuss whether or not an adult with a penis and testicles and who experiences sex as a male is actually literally a woman. By closing down the discussion we appear to them to be just lost in a fantasy world they can't relate to. By using the expression 'toxic masculinity' they believe we're actually saying masculinity itself is a toxic thing so poorly have we explained ourselves. By talking about 'white privilege' they believe we're saying they're 'privileged' as they struggle to survive in their poverty stricken lives. Instead of openly and honestly discussing what we mean and choosing our words more thoughtfully we dive into clichés and slogans which are almost certain to lead to misunderstanding. Is it any wonder young straight, white males look at the left and think we don't care about them? The other thing is his point of people losing touch with the ability to laugh at themselves and instead they take themselves too seriously demanding often quite aggressively never to be offended. Often an intelligent piss-take which is over the top but with a dash of truth in it can get a point across wonderfully well. "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly". Have those days gone? For those who say we never had those days just watch an episode of 'Little Britain' or indeed Monty Python.

It’s refreshing to see Jordan in the presence of someone as intelligent and articulate as he is (perhaps even more so). We need to see these two together more often.

The dude on the left - cant remember his name - lost the plot completely during this. I used to see him on the Bill Maher show and he wasnt half as annoying back then. Idk what the hell happened to the guy but hes gone full out group think and it sucks to see that bc hes shown hes an intelligent person

"At the moment you are recruiting for the right." That is so true! If this is the left, I am ashamed to be leftish.

An example is suppression of the empirical and rational truths of evolutionary psychology. We should't view as normative but also not deny it.

Peterson is the only one here fit enough to share the stage with the bastion of sanity that is Stephen Fry.

Well your comment is delightfully negated by the fact that Mr Fry mentions that in his opening remarks and actually uses the fact to re-enforce how strongly he feels about their common positions on the debate topic.
