He's a wise man. We can all learn something from him. Because he understands history very well. We all remember the dates and names but not the lessons.

[@shresthasharma1093]

I fully agree with him when he says that empathy or compassion is missing from intellectual discourse. I myself have been a part of it, and it would be false if I say that I haven't used my head in order to feel safe and secure. And in doing that, I must have offended or made somebody feel bad.

[@Sonakshi111]

Devdutt is truly a post modernist. It requires a lot of wisdom and intellectualism to get out of the hegemony of current political narrative. In fact he is beyond any cultural and social hegemony too. Way to go. Everything is truly a myth. A man with an ego will never realise that. Everyone is hell bent in proving their point.

Might be a basic question - but why are all "intellectuals" considered as "left liberals" and why are all "right" considered "uneducated stubborns"?!

[@completelyrandomcontent3184]

It is nothing but stereotyping by a narrow minded perspective which calls itself "LIBERAL"

[@pantonfire]

I think Devdutt was talking about his trolls specifically. Otherwise I don't think these prototypes of the left and right are true at all.

[@prasadnanote549]

Because if you dont brand them as stupid you will have to listen to their opinion and listening to opinions of others is not a specialty of people who call themselves liberal in India. There are enough people on Twitter on the sane side of right leaning group who have challenged Mr. Patnaik multiple times with difficult questions. It is easier for him to just brand everyone under lynchers and other buzzwords in media than to answer legit questions.

[@gauravgandi1398]

Yeah right I agree with Saurabh, Devdutt was talking about trolls. But there is still a bit of prejudice, the trolls on th left are also violent , but not the extent that trolls of the right are... Ultimately, it's just ppl being lazy in thier perception on the other kind and finding it easy to stereotype and strawman

[@NeerajLakkapragada]

I don't know enough about the right and left wings in India, but from what I've seen on KZbin about the USA, the right, with people like Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Dennis Prager is far more intelligent than the left

@@dillippanda5798 Him calling all right wingers as lynchers and non-intellectual. Caveman hai kya saare right winger. People are more complex, they can't be cartoonised as being unintelligent, non able to express themselves through words. And if right winger opposes the use of gender pronoun, it is not bcos that they don't understand it. Just follow Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Ben Shapiro or any other right wing speaker.. it is dangerous and unfair to strawman the whole narrative of the right.. And also saying that all left winger are brahmin intelligent and all-knowing, he is already making a pseudo-castesim comment. Since he portrayed left as being upper class know all and right as unwashed lower class who are like children and have to be dealt with. Btw I am fan of his work.

[@MegaRazzzz]

@@gauravgandi1398 i don't see any fault in his assessment. An intellectual Right winger is an aberration at best. It is pretty obvious to anyone who has functioning eyes and ears that those low on IQ points almost always tend to lean heavily on the Right. The Left is visibly dominated by the intellectual kind. Even a militant Leftist would score higher on vocabulary than an average high school graduate. BTW I don't know where you got that idea, but Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris definitely are not Right wing speakers. Both of them are self declared Liberals. Ben Shapiro is a rare intelligent Right winger but definitely isn't an 'intellectual'. He debates well and speaks fast but even I, who's of average intelligence, could find the faults in his logic when I heard him speaking closely and analyzed his speech.

@@vahsirartapaham4578 I think I understood the "cultural". It's how the ideals and ethics of a certain ideology permeate the cultural behaviour of people.
