people have their heads buried in the sand, or they don't care about intellectual matters, they are fixated on trivialities.

First time I've watched a debate and been impressed by everyone.

Why is it so hard to find discussions like this today? At least ones that don't involve certain people screaming and trying to deplatform anyone that doesn't already agree them. As usual, I largely agree with Camille. It's also worth noting that in the decades since there have been many studies on the effects of violent media, and the consensus seems to be that there is no causal link between real world violence and violent media.

Celebrities of the old era understood their place as entertainers, they knew their fame was based on their ability to entertain. Today's celebrities misinterpret their fame as an authority on all issues from economics, to political policy. And many of today' celebrities are purely political prostitutes, they never deviate from the norm, they are a unified block of opinion. See what they do to any who deviate? They are essentially excommunicated. It is worth remembering that such discussions would shine a light on how the entertainers have been replaced with political ideologues who use their fame to push their own ideologies. Look at any relatively popular celebrity, you will see them droning on and on about climate change, poverty, et al. And they continually bleat at the rest of us to change and to force change but they themselves are completely immune to any sacrifice. They wish for us to fly less, eat less meat, wear fewer new clothes, etc but they will not sacrifice a small aspect of their hyper-wealthy lives. When was the last time you heard a celebrity say "You know what? I don't need to own a 25 room house in Hollywood, I will buy a small flat instead and drive a used car". These celebrities are walking paradoxes. Their wealth is unbelievable considering what they produce, they don't see the irony of calling out rich people when they only produce entertainment.

Heck, the Romans and Medievals would probably use violent media to siphon the violent energies of the masses. They used to call it "bread and circuses." If the Roman Empire still lived today, you can bet your ass they'd be handing out free movie tickets and running free video game arcades where they serve you free fries and burgers to keep the homeless and discontent members of the populace happy.

I would die to see debates like these, truly honoured by the decorum, authenticity, eloquence and kindness of the debaters.

Having been both a teacher and a gamer, I can see where both sides come from. Kids who play games where they act obnoxious or watch/listen to music and movies that have some questionable content act like idiots, but people who are emotionally mature can play violent video games and watch violent media without going nuts. It boils down to the emotional maturity of the people experiencing the media.

Very good discussion. I tuned in for Camille, but I think that they all raise good points.

6:30 "Our children are watching thousands of murders" and today with computers XBOX PlayStation etc, our children are DOING thousands of murders in a virtual reality.

After all these years, it proved that none of these people's plans worked.. We are still going downhill in the same direction and at the same speed.

i am so so happy to have the internet if only for its abundance of paglia content

Ms Paglia is one of my heroes.

This is a discussion from a many years ago. BUT: nothing has changed, the propaganda and wrong messages ftom Hollywood has got worse in my opinion.

The problem with this discussion is the conflation of correlation with causation. Perverted people are more likely to consume illicit material, but it doesn't mean the material causes them to become perverted.

I agree with Camille, but the issue is the distribution of this material, the ease of pervasiveness. Her example of Hamlet does not ring true: the vast majority of people even in Shakespeare’s time did not attend artistic plays featuring violent realities of life-they were living those violent realities. At that time, art had the power to transform and uplift. At the same time, you cannot blame the industry for the success of violent content. It appeals to the basest human instincts and humans want to see it. It’s like porn. Animalistic, common. There is only one question: Do the entertainment “powers” give people the animalistic, violent material that their base instincts desire, or do we encourage-*not* mandate!-the *encouragement* of arts that tend toward social and spiritual uplift? Let the society encourage what it wants and reject what it wants. When the base, animalistic societies fall, so be it. If societies that value uplifting tendencies in the arts, let them survive. Do not censor. Let respectable people in society reject what is clearly abhorrent. If society fails to do this, let them suffer the consequences. NO CENSORSHIP, except for already established illegalities, i.e. abuse of children. Let adult artists create meaningful work involving adults. If the last line of decency is abuse of kids, we are already doomed, because it appears to be rampant. Even so, I will fight to the death against the artistic censorship of adult artists of any kind. So, Camille gets my vote here. But I certainly see one or two of Bork’s points (not all of them). “Artists” who use and exploit children deserve death. Adult artists who ply their wares, however trite or repellent, will be embraced or castigated as the consumer environment determines. Let the chips fall where they may. NO censorship. NO SJW bullshit “cancelling.” NO dogmatism from the crazy religious Right or the crazy Doctrinarian Left (who are looking more and more alike with each passing year.) If any kind of “art” harms children, punish without mercy. Everything produced by adults (involving adults) can either be welcomed or driven out of town by the public. I have to say, I champion movements in the entertainment industries that encourage uplifting themes, even if violence is portrayed as the reality that it is (i.e. The Godfather, ALL WESTERNS, etc.). In 1995, Camille could not have known to what extent social media would disseminate all of the worst facets of human behavior. Current social media represents a staggering difference in the *distribution* of uncontrolled, ignoble, disgraceful human behaviors. Social media is not presenting anything new-humans, at their worst, have always been just a whisker above wild hogs. But social media does proliferate “artistic” depictions of degradation and moral rot on a universal platform unprecedented in all of recorded human history. Oligarchs across the world allow this to occur via their platforms and there is no power focused enough to rise against them and correct things. Even if past human history did not prove that doom is always imminent for arrogant, reckless empires, trust me-doom is imminent. Get you heads out of your asses and make adjustments. Look after yourselves!

I can’t imagine this kind of debate being broadcast nowadays. The sheer fact they singled out black community as its own would have got them cancelled 😂😂😂

“President Clinton and senator Dole think that sex and violence in movies can cause bad behaviours” 28 years later, they have

now we look at... of course!

This conclusion about a religious resurgence is, to my surprise, believable. Also, I think it is necessary. Five years ago I was convinced atheism was surging ahead of religious doctrine. Being in my late teens I subscribed to a kind of serious doubt (like atheism, but without committing to the title) if only for the sultry lulls Christopher Hitchens commanded on my want for independence. Listen to Jordan Peterson speak about the Christian faith from his lecture series on the bible (and it comes up in other lectures). This is also exceptionally insightful on the link between Christianity, science, and nihilism: kzread.info/dash/bejne/haejuMqEn5e7prQ.html How people will move forward isn't entirely obvious.

WIth all thinkable respect to Paglia, Sowell is in his own league.

Eevrybody having a say is good only if those voices have an inner moral and conscientious anchor. But with moral values and reality being thrown out the window, and social media separating and entrancing the new generation in conflicting echo chambers-moral truth(even scientific truth) is no longer an anchor to keep people grounded. There is no baseline to have an decent conversation because everyone have their own "truth".
